Since 1976, licensed Texas attorney John W. Mikus has been working on behalf of his clients in probate, real estate, and family law transactions and litigation, both simple and complex, serving Harris County and surrounding counties within about a 100-mile radius of Houston. During the initial telephone consult, Mr. Mikus is willing to listen to the potential client, ask questions about the facts, and describe possible solutions and costs and fee arrangements needed to represent his potential client's interest before confirming the scope and fees of his employment by either email or after meeting with the potential client at his office or a place more convenient to the potential client to sign a mutually acceptable written fee agreement providing for the negotiated initial retainer to be paid in advance by the potential client in order for Mr. Mikus to be responsible to start providing the agreed legal services.

For the last 30 years, I’ve been helping people like you handle the trauma of being injured or disabled. Over the past year and half my clients have received settlements in excess of 8 million dollars. Approximately half of my practice is personal injury where I help individuals recover from the effects of being hurt in a car, motorcycle, or truck accident. I’m paid on a contingency fee basis which means you don’t pay me until the insurance company settles with you, so essentially they are paying my fees. Approximately fifty percent of my practice is helping people navigate the social security disability maze. The government pays my fees, so please don’t hesitate to ask for help if you need it.

My practice focuses on estate planning and litigating complex trust, estate and guardianship disputes. With over 20 years of civil trial and appellate experience, I have represented clients in all stages of litigation from pre-trial, trial, mediation and appeals to the Courts of Appeal and Supreme Court. I have represented clients in over 70 appeals in both the Texas and Federal Courts of Appeal and am Board Certified in Civil Appellate Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. My experience as a litigator and appellate attorney permits to provide my clients with a high level of analysis in all facets of a dispute and find a path to victory. However, my true strength as an attorney arises from my client-centered approach. I understand and accept that my clients come to me with both legal and personal disputes which arise after the death or incapacity of a close family member. As your attorney, my job is to help my clients navigate these disputes and move on to a place in their lives where they can focus on what really matters - their families and loved ones.

PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY Board Certified family law trial attorney with 24 years in practice and more than 400 cases tried to rendition in the family and district courts of Harris and Fort Bend Counties and the Office of the Attorney General child support courts. Founder of a Houston firm handling contested and uncontested divorce, custody, child support, statewide family law appeals, judgment enforcement and exemption planning. Appears daily in the ten Harris County family courts and about twice a week in the four Fort Bend County family courts, and personally tries the firm’s contested cases. Former debtor’s counsel in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 before the Houston and Galveston Divisions of the Southern District of Texas: more than 4,000 bankruptcies filed and over $250,000,000 in debt discharged. Prior careers as a U.S. Marine field artilleryman and a licensed funeral director and embalmer shaped a practice built on disciplined preparation, direct answers and steadiness under pressure. PERSPECTIVE He has sat where his clients sit. Married three times — twice in Harris County and once in Fort Bend County — and divorced twice in the Harris County family district courts (the 245th and the 309th), once as his own petitioner proving up a Rule 11 agreement and once through counsel. He knows the inventories, the temporary orders, the waiting and the cost from the petitioner’s chair as well as counsel table. He is father to three children and stepfather to three more, and has raised a family across Japanese, Honduran and Palestinian households, so a client whose marriage spans cultures, languages or borders is not explaining something foreign to him. That experience shapes the counsel: practical rather than therapeutic, focused on workable co-parenting, firm boundaries and getting the client to the other side with their finances and their relationships with their children intact. The main office sits in Houston’s International District, and the firm works in English and Spanish. His eldest daughter is a Texas Army National Guard veteran; his son followed him into the Marine Corps. An ordained minister, he performs wedding ceremonies at no charge in the office or by Zoom; marrying a couple conflicts him out of ever representing either spouse against the other, a bargain he accepts willingly.
