Legal Services for North Texas Families and Businesses

Compass Legal, PLLC helps people through some of life’s most consequential areas: family, business and estate planning. From our office in Carrollton, we serve clients across North Texas — Dallas, Denton, Collin, and Tarrant counties — with clear advice, practical strategy, and a team that knows you, not just your file.

We don’t just handle cases. We help people move forward. Whether you’re navigating a divorce, forming a company, resolving a dispute or needing a will, power of attorney or medical directives, we’ll meet you where you are and lead you in the right direction. Every matter starts with a consultation, so you’ll understand your options before you commit to anything.

Family Law

Family legal matters are personal, and they deserve more than a process — they deserve a
plan. Our family law team guides North Texas families through divorce, custody, support, and adoption with steady counsel and straight answers. We protect what matters most to you while keeping conflict, cost, and stress as low as the situation allows, while being thoroughly prepared when courtroom advocacy is what your case requires.

Divorce

Clear guidance through property division, support, and custody, whether your divorce is amicable or contested.

Child Custody

Conservatorship and possession arrangements built around your child’s best interests

Child Support

Establishing, modifying, and enforcing Texas child support obligations.

Adoptions

Guiding families through the legal steps of adoption.

Enforcements

Holding the other party accountable to court orders for custody, support, and property when they don’t comply.

Pre & Postnuptial Agreements

Protecting assets, businesses, and expectations — prepared while everyone agrees.

Business Law

Strong businesses are built on strong legal foundations. Our business law practice helps Texas owners form the right entity, put enforceable contracts in place, and maintain ongoing counsel as they grow — with an emphasis on preventing problems before they become disputes. From a first LLC filing to outside legal counsel for an established company, we work the way good business advisors do: proactively, practically, and in plain English.

Entity Formation & Restructuring

Choosing and forming the right Texas entity, plus conversions, mergers, and ownership changes.

Contractual Agreements

Building the complete contract stack your business needs, from company agreements and bylaws to NDAs and employment agreements.

Contract Preparation, Review & Negotiation

Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating contracts before you sign — to ensure you’re protected from the beginning, and not after problems surface.

General Legal Support

Ongoing outside legal counsel for businesses that need a lawyer in their corner, not on their payroll.

Mediation

Not every dispute belongs in a courtroom. Our mediation services give families and businesses a faster, less costly, and more private path to resolution — one where you shape the outcome instead of leaving it to a judge. Mediation is not only the smartest first move in divorce and custody matters, partnership conflicts, and contract disputes, most courts require it, and it frequently preserves relationships that litigation would destroy. We help parties find workable common ground and memorialize it in a binding Mediated Settlement Agreement which is filed with the court and incorporated into any remaining final documents.

Angela is an outstanding family law attorney. Not only does she really know the law inside out, she is compassionate and gets to know her clients intimately, to better be able to serve them. She is ethical and works diligently to achieve the best possible outcome for those she represents. I am grateful for Angela’s professionalism, swift responses, attention to details and being proactive in always communicating next steps in a clear and concise manner. She made a very stressful divorce process less daunting. She was collaborative, efficient and kinds throughout the process and her communication was stellar. Angela was a great recourse on questions pertaining not only to the divorce at hand, but the process as a whole. She took the time to explain the logistics of navigating the judicial system, in detail. This is a rare gift that eliminates stress, money waste and guess work. Angela did a fabulous job of understanding what my own priorities were and helping me find the best way to patiently work through the process to achieve those goals. I feel that with Angela as my attorney, I received excellent legal representation. Her professionalism is remarkable, along with her knowledge and execution of the law. This was an extremely sensitive and emotional time in my life and Angela handled this case from beginning to end with grace and professionalism in every aspect. I feel that when people are faced with the fear of the unknown and are then given a sense of peace throughout this unfamiliar legal process, then they have found the correct Legal Representation. I definitely found just that in Angela and for that I’m grateful. I’m moving forward with my new life on a very positive note, knowing that I was represented by the most professional and well-rounded attorney that anyone could ever ask for. You can take comfort in knowing that if you retain Angela for your legal needs, you have hired THE VERY BEST !! Angela projects a calm confidence in every situation and that’s clearly a result of the dedication, preparation, and experience that she put into representing her clients. She guided me through an extremely difficult and foreign process. She did not flinch when it was time to give me tough feedback and her advice and support has been right on the money. I feel blessed to be working with Angela as she had my back from day one. I would recommend Angela to people ready to be honest to themselves and to do what’s best for their families. Conscientious, smart, excellent trial lawyer. Ethical, honest and knowledgeable, Outstanding. Great advice. Informative, patient and transparent and keep me up to date on the process. Makes the process as stress-free and straightforward as possible. Thoughtful and detailed

Angela represented me in a very difficult and uncommon family case involving complex out-of-state issues. It was an emotionally challenging situation with many moving parts, and I truly appreciate the professionalism, dedication, and steady guidance she brought to the process. My case was not typical, and there were layers of complexity that I imagine are not encountered every day, yet she handled it with experience, composure, and persistence. I know that both Angela and Ashtyn worked extremely hard behind the scenes on my behalf. Their effort, preparation, and attention to detail did not go unnoticed, especially given how stressful and high-stakes the situation was for me and my family. Navigating a case like this requires not only legal skill but also patience and resilience, and I am grateful for the work they put in throughout the process. I was ultimately able to achieve the outcome I had hoped for, which meant a great deal to me. Having strong representation during such a vulnerable time made an important difference. Ashtyn was also an invaluable part of the team. This case was very emotionally taxing, and her support helped keep communication calm, organized, and manageable when things felt overwhelming. She was responsive, reassuring, and helped maintain a sense of stability during a very uncertain period. While no legal process is ever easy, I appreciate the professionalism, time, and effort both Angela and Ashtyn invested in my case. I am thankful for their work and the role they played in helping me move forward.

I highly recommend Angela for legal services. I’ve consulted with her on both family legal concerns and business-related matters, and each experience has strengthened my confidence in her professionalism and legal expertise. What stands out most about Angela is her honest, straightforward communication and practical approach. She takes the time to walk through realistic scenarios and potential outcomes so you fully understand your options before moving forward. That level of transparency earned my trust and appreciation for how she approaches her work. Angela strongly advocates for her clients’ best interests. She provides thoughtful, well-informed guidance and is responsive when questions arise, always following up with clear explanations and practical recommendations. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and trustworthy attorney who communicates clearly and focuses on practical solutions, I confidently recommend Angela.

- Megan Brilman

Magali has my full trust, and I wouldn’t want anyone else on my team. Her dedication and attention to detail in my case have gone far beyond my expectations. She took the time to walk me through every step of the process and has always been straightforward and honest.

I’ve had the privilege of seeing her in the courtroom, and all I can say is I’m grateful she’s on my side. She helped me set court ordered boundaries that keep my family safe and healthy, and she truly cares about the best interests of my daughter.

If you are thinking whether Compass Legal is the right fit for you, all I can say is they gave me peace of mind during one of the most difficult times in my life.
