Is More Than

Thomas Little, a family law attorney in Flower Mound, has one of those last names that begs to appear in a “cutesy” headline. So, mission accomplished!
While earning a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science at Texas A&M, Little played football as the 12th Man on the kickoff team. He next enlisted in the Army and attended Officer Candidate School. He was stationed in Germany and deployed to Kosovo, using leaves to travel throughout Europe whenever possible.
After the Army, Little returned to Texas A&M for an MBA in business. He became a licensed project management professional, spending six years traveling the world as a consultant. That’s how a young, adventurous man from Texas happened to work in Saudi Arabia.
It was in those six years that Little discovered his passion for the law. He pulled out his GI Bill and, at 37, walked through the doors of St. Mary’s University of School of Law. Little passed the bar and began practicing at Hayes, Berry, White & Vanzant, LLP, in Denton in 2015. He hung out his private practice shingle two years ago.
Now, what does Thomas Little bring to the table as a private practice, family law attorney?
His clients remark on his ability to truly listen to them and to understand. One client used all the niceties to describe Little but added, “He can also be a shark!”
As a family law attorney, Little deals with a long list of sensitive issues. Divorce. Child custody. Property division. Wills and probate. Spousal support. Mediation. Powers of attorney. Even adoption. All these are vital, family-related, lifechanging situations. Little, with para-legal Sharron Dowdle, is acutely aware of the landmines.
“It’s critical that we use a strong moral compass that includes respect and integrity if we intend to earn the best outcome for our clients,” says Little. “That’s why everything we do must be client focused. Almost everything we deal with is sensitive and delicate, sometimes unpleasant and emotionally charged. That’s why we’re so persistent about making every effort to take the high road.”
Respect, integrity and client focus are three of Little Law’s most important building blocks. You can be sure of that and, also: When the client speaks, Little listens.
