How Can I Know Whether I’m Hiring a “Father’s Attorney”?

There are many lawyers now marketing themselves as “father’s attorneys”, “father friendly” or “the father’s attorney” and the like. The truth is there is no official license or certification from the State Bar Association in Texas or any Father’s organization that formally sanctions someone as a “father’s attorney”.  Attorneys can market themselves however they wish, within certain rules. While it is an effective way for some attorneys to let the public know their practice emphasis, the danger comes when it is abused or misused by those who really are not quite sincere about it.

So what should you look for in searching for a “father’s attorney”?
