A Better Idea
Our firm was founded when Houston Munson and Norman Burns teamed up to better serve the residents of Gonzales and surrounding communities. Later, Houston Munson III and Jean Johnson Peterek joined the association. At our firm, our attorneys handle your case from beginning to end. There is no passing off of clients to associates, paralegals or other firms.

- Family law: divorce and related issues such as child custody and child support, property division and alimony/spousal support.
- Personal injury: injuries caused through someone else's negligence in a car accident or other motor vehicle accident; injuries sustained in a slip or fall (premises liability); injuries due to defective products (product liability); workplace injuries (workers' compensation claims).
