I am a native of Houston and have been practicing law in Texas since 1982. Although I began my career as an associate attorney at a larger firm, I have been running my own law firm since 1990. I am board certified in family law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. My 25-year career has brought me many successes, not the least of which are the solutions I have brought my family law clients.

I am a family man with children of my own. When my clients talk about their families, I fully understand how important their children are to them. I often take cases to help people who are concerned about their children. I know that children are negatively affected by conflicts, like those involved in divorce, so I tailor my approach to help minimize the impact on these innocent participants in the process.

I am able to tailor my approach specifically to each of my clients' needs because I work as a solo attorney in a small law firm environment. This is a huge advantage to my clients. When you hire me as your lawyer, you get my knowledge and experience, not just the help of a paralegal or inexperienced associate.

At the Houston, Texas, office of Bruce C. Zivley, Attorney at Law, I work closely with my clients to match my approach to their needs in a variety of family law matters, including divorce, child support, child custody, alimony and premarital agreements. I also help clients who need to modify or enforce existing custody, visitation, alimony or child support orders.

I offer a wide range of family law services to people in greater Houston, ranging from uncontested divorce to cases involving complex property division, assistance with step-parent adoption and advice regarding parentage/paternity issues. I also provide divorce planning services to help you protect your interests and make a smoother transition.
