A Houston Family Law Attorney Focused on Modifications, Enforcement, and Complex Family Matters

Family law cases don’t always end with a final order—sometimes they need to be corrected, enforced, or adjusted as life changes.

Carrie Marquis is a senior Houston divorce and family law attorney with more than 30 years of experience handling child custody modifications, enforcement actions, and complex property matters. With a background in accounting and finance, she brings a strategic and practical approach to resolving issues that arise after a case is already in place.

At the Law Office of Bryan Fagan, founded by Houston family law attorney Bryan Fagan, Carrie works closely with clients to fix what isn’t working and create outcomes that better reflect their current situation.

“A family law case doesn’t end with an order—it evolves as life evolves.”

A Strategic and Child-Focused Approach

Carrie’s approach to family law is rooted in both experience and perspective.

She has spent decades working in family law and began her career gaining experience in the domestic violence unit of the Harris County District Attorney’s office, which helped shape her understanding of family dynamics and legal protection.

She also brings a strong financial background, having worked as a public accountant in the oil and gas industry, which allows her to effectively handle complex property and financial issues.

Carrie believes that:

• children benefit from having both parents involved
