Helping People in Denton County Since 2009

North Texas Family Lawyers is a Denton County law firm focused on family law and related litigation, including divorce, child custody, and probate matters.

The firm is led by William F Neal, who has practiced law in Texas for more than 50 years and has been board-certified in family law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization for nearly three decades. Over the course of his career, Bill has handled complex divorce cases involving significant assets, family-owned businesses, and contested custody arrangements, as well as probate and estate litigation.

The firm was built around a straightforward idea: clients going through legal disputes need clear direction, steady representation, and someone who can manage both the legal and practical challenges of the process. Bill’s approach has always focused on problem-solving, whether that means negotiating a workable resolution or taking a case to court when necessary.

Over time, the firm has grown to include attorneys with complementary backgrounds. James A Giries brings experience from running his own practice and a perspective shaped by his personal experience going through the legal system, while Trenton E Wright contributes decades of work in real estate, business, and financial matters that often intersect with family law cases.

Today, the firm represents individuals and families throughout Denton County, handling both straightforward matters and high-conflict litigation. The work is centered on helping clients navigate legal processes that are often unfamiliar, time-sensitive, and consequential.

Our mission is simple:

Protect your future. Reduce your stress. Help you start your next chapter.
