1) working for a family law District Court Judge in Tarrant County, as a Court Coordinator, for over eight years;

Mrs. Bazan believes that each individual has the right to competent, responsible, and trustworthy representation. The area of family law is one of the most contentious areas of law and places people in an emotional, life changing, rollercoaster. An attorney focusing their practice on family law must understand the legal needs of a client and consider the client's desire for a fair and just outcome. While Mrs. Bazán believes that cooperation among attorneys is essential, she is resolved in representing a client's legal rights with conviction to insure a proper and just outcome.
