The first working day of 2026 started off great! Had a few hearings in Cleburne in the morning and then drove to see several of my CPS kids in Hood County - and got to build an awesome tower with one my kids! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday heading into 2026!

So honored to have received this today from the State Bar of Texas! Only about 10% of attorneys are members of this group!

I am excited and honored to be a presenter at the 2025 Family Law Advanced Seminar in Tarrant County this November - I will be doing the Statute and Caselaw Update for Child Welfare Law! I always do my best to make my CLE presentations fun and engaging - even on tough subjects!

Beautiful morning today! I've been driving everywhere lately in my little Fiat - named Benny! The past few weeks I've mediated and settled multiple cases and got great results for kids and parents! Everyone have a great rest of your week!

I will be the presenter for the Case Law Update portion at the Child Welfare Seminar in September. This is the 4th year in a row I have been asked to do the case law update, and I am honored I keep getting asked back each year to help keep our local legal community educated on changes in the law regarding child welfare. Each year I work really hard to make my presentation entertaining and fun to listen to! 🙂

This Wednesday night I took nine packs of toilet paper with me to the Legal Aid Clinic in Cleburne. I am often the only attorney in my community that volunteers at the clinic. We had overbought on sale for our home, and I figured maybe Legal Aid had a partner organization that could use it.

What I didn’t expect?

Legal Aid said they needed it.

Their funding has been slashed and threatened so badly — especially under the Trump administration — that they can barely afford basic office supplies. Yes, even toilet paper. Legal Aid staff attorneys are juggling eviction defense, domestic violence cases, and custody battles — while wondering if they’ll have enough paper towels or printer ink to get through the week. They have enough funding through 2025, but after that who knows - and more importantly - no one seems to care if they shut down.

It’s not just the office, either.

A woman who came in late overheard me mention the toilet paper. Quietly, she asked if she could have a pack.
She couldn’t afford any.
I gave her one.
She almost cried.

That’s where we are now.

Toilet paper isn’t just a household item — it’s a lifeline.

We cut funding for the poor and reroute it to billionaires. We pass laws that make it harder for working families to survive — while pretending it’s about responsibility. We gut legal aid, knowing full well it’s often the only line of defense between a desperate parent and losing their children, their home, their safety.

If that doesn’t tell you how broken things are, maybe this will -
Even without a pandemic - toilet paper matters again. That’s how far we’ve let things go.

At Edmonds Law Firm we know that families come in all shapes, sizes, colors and all types of parents and kids. From day one, our website, social media, business cards, etc. have always said "Safe Space" - because we are just that - a safe space for you and your family to discuss your legal situation with nothing but acceptance and value for your family - just how it is, not how others think it should be. HAPPY PRIDE MONTH TEXAS! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

Edmonds Law Firm helped to raise money today for The Women's Center of Tarrant County. Scott ran the 5k in 25.5 minutes. Scott is on the board of directors for the Tarrant County Young Lawyers Association and TCYLA also entered as a group for the 5k fundraiser today in Trinity Park.

Haven't posted much on here at all this year - it's been a BUSY 2025 for Edmonds Law Firm! I'm out running around in Hood County today visiting some of my CPS kids that are placed all over the place lately. Saturday I'll be doing more CPS visits in Johnson, Tarrant and Wise counties! Family law and CPS never seems to take a day off! 🙃
