A: Many family law attorneys handle adoption cases. Assuming your grandson's parents are dead, an adoption proceeding should be relatively simple. If either parent is still living, it becomes a little more complicated if the living parent(s) is agreeable to the adoption. If there is one or more living parent who disagrees with the adoption, your prospects for a successful outcome go way down, and the likely cost of the proceeding goes sharply up.

While you are looking for a "bro" lawyer, many female attorneys are perfectly capable of handling such a case at every level of complexity. You are likely to find more female attorneys practicing in the area of family law in most counties in Texas.
