Raul Natividad Law represents individuals, families, detained immigrants, crime victims, workers, and businesses in a broad range of immigration matters. Immigration law is rarely limited to completing a form. A successful case may require legal research, document preparation, evidence development, written advocacy, government interviews, immigration-court appearances, waiver applications, and strategic coordination between multiple agencies.
As a former United States Marine, Raul Natividad brings discipline, preparation, persistence, and a mission-focused approach to every case. The firm carefully evaluates each client’s immigration history, family relationships, manner of entry, prior applications, criminal record, removal history, and available forms of relief before recommending a legal strategy.
When a person is detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, immediate legal action may be necessary. The firm evaluates whether the individual may request release and develops evidence addressing eligibility, danger to the community, flight risk, family ties, employment history, rehabilitation, and the likelihood of appearing at future proceedings.
Services may include:
Bond proceedings are separate from the underlying removal case. Winning release does not terminate the immigration case; it allows an eligible person to continue defending the case outside detention.
The firm represents individuals who have received a Notice to Appear or who are otherwise facing proceedings before the immigration courts.
Removal-defense services may include:
A prior immigration order does not always end the legal analysis. Depending on the facts, the law may permit a person to ask the immigration court or Board of Immigration Appeals to review the case again.
The firm may assist with:
Because motions may be subject to strict time and numerical limitations, these cases should be evaluated immediately.
When an immigration judge issues an adverse decision, the firm may evaluate whether the decision should be appealed.

A prior immigration violation, criminal matter, misrepresentation, unlawful presence, or other ground of inadmissibility may prevent admission or adjustment unless a waiver or other exception is available.
Waiver services may include:
A strong waiver application does more than state that separation will be difficult. It presents organized, credible evidence demonstrating why the qualifying relative would suffer legally significant hardship.
The Violence Against Women Act permits certain abused spouses, children, and parents of United States citizens or lawful permanent residents to seek immigration relief without relying on the abusive family member to file or support the case. VAWA protections are not limited to women.
Services may include:

Every immigration case presents different facts. A filing that is appropriate for one person may expose another person to detention, removal, inadmissibility, or denial. Raul Natividad Law does not treat immigration cases as routine paperwork.
The firm provides:
From family petitions and green cards to immigration bonds, deportation defense, VAWA, U visas, waivers, asylum, citizenship, and employment immigration, Raul “Rudy” Natividad is prepared to help clients understand their rights, evaluate their options, and pursue the strongest lawful path forward.

Raul “Rudy” Natividad Law represents individuals and families injured because of another person’s negligence, unsafe conduct, defective equipment, or failure to follow established safety rules. From highway collisions and commercial-vehicle crashes to oilfield incidents, construction accidents, dog attacks, and dangerous-property claims, the firm works to identify every responsible party, preserve critical evidence, and pursue the compensation available under Texas law.

The firm investigates how the incident occurred, determines who may be legally responsible, documents the client’s losses, and develops a strategy designed to protect the client’s health, financial security, and future.

Raul Natividad represents business owners, companies, executives, investors, professionals, and entrepreneurs in commercial disputes throughout Houston and across Texas. Business conflicts can threaten revenue, operations, contracts, customer relationships, confidential information, and the long-term value of a company.

He evaluates the facts, contracts, financial records, communications, and applicable law to identify the strongest claims, defenses, and paths toward resolution. Whether the matter requires negotiation, mediation, emergency court relief, or trial, the firm works to protect the client’s legal and business interests.
Contracts are the foundation of most commercial relationships. When one party fails to perform, refuses to pay, abandons an agreement, or violates a material obligation, immediate action may be necessary.

Raul Natividad represents corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships, sole proprietors, business owners, shareholders, members, managers, officers, directors, investors, and individuals operating under assumed names or DBAs in business disputes throughout Houston and across Texas.
Business disputes can arise at any stage of a company’s existence—from formation and ownership disagreements to contract breaches, management conflicts, unpaid obligations, fraud, dissolution, and litigation. These disputes can threaten the company’s revenue, operations, reputation, assets, customer relationships, and long-term value.
Raul Natividad evaluates each dispute from both a legal and business perspective. He reviews the company’s organizational documents, contracts, financial records, communications, ownership structure, and governing law to identify the client’s rights, obligations, claims, and defenses. The objective is not merely to litigate, but to protect the business, preserve its value, and pursue a practical resolution.
Corporations are governed through shareholders, directors, officers, bylaws, shareholder agreements, and applicable corporate law. Conflicts can arise when owners or managers disagree over control, compensation, distributions, business opportunities, or the direction of the company.

Limited liability companies are often governed by a company agreement or operating agreement that establishes ownership, voting rights, management authority, distributions, and procedures for withdrawal or dissolution.

General partnerships and limited partnerships may be created through written agreements, oral agreements, or conduct. Disputes often involve authority, profits, losses, management rights, or the use of partnership assets.

Raul Natividad represents individuals, parents, spouses, grandparents, and families in divorce, custody, support, property, and other domestic-relations matters throughout Houston and across Texas.
Family-law disputes are deeply personal. They can affect a person’s children, home, finances, business interests, retirement, safety, and future. These cases require more than legal knowledge. They require careful preparation, practical judgment, discretion, and a clear understanding of what is at stake for every member of the family.
Raul Natividad approaches family-law matters with discipline, preparation, and determined advocacy. He works to protect the client’s parental rights, financial interests, personal safety, and long-term stability while pursuing practical solutions whenever possible.
Divorce involves more than ending a marriage. It may require decisions concerning children, property, debts, support, businesses, retirement accounts, and the use of the family residence.
Raul Natividad may assist with:
An uncontested divorce may be appropriate when both spouses agree on all major issues, including property division, debts, conservatorship, possession, support, and other terms.
The firm may assist with:
Even when spouses agree, the final decree should clearly address property, debts, children, taxes, insurance, retirement, and future obligations.
A divorce becomes contested when the spouses disagree about one or more material issues.
Contested matters may involve:
Texas family law generally uses the terms conservatorship, possession, and access rather than custody and visitation. These cases determine who will make important decisions for the child and when each parent will have possession.
Raul Natividad may assist with:
Possession schedules should provide children with stability while preserving meaningful relationships with both parents when appropriate.

Raul Natividad may assist with:

Family circumstances change. A prior order may no longer serve the child’s best interest or reflect the parties’ current financial or living conditions.
Raul Natividad may assist with modification of:
Modification cases may involve changed employment, relocation, remarriage, safety concerns, a child’s needs, persistent denial of visitation, or a material change in circumstances.
Court orders must be followed. When a party violates a custody, support, property, or possession order, enforcement may be necessary.
The firm may handle:
Family-law cases may take months to resolve. Temporary orders establish rules while the case is pending.
Temporary-order issues may include:
Texas divorce courts divide community property in a manner the court considers just and right. Proper classification and valuation of property can significantly affect the outcome.
The firm may assist with:
When one or both spouses own a business, the divorce may require detailed analysis of ownership, value, income, control, and the distinction between business and personal assets.
Raul Natividad may assist with:
Retirement benefits may be among the most valuable marital assets.
The firm may assist with:
Spousal maintenance may be available in limited circumstances. The amount and duration depend on statutory requirements and the facts of the marriage.

A negotiated resolution can reduce cost, delay, and emotional strain while allowing the parties greater control over the outcome.
When an agreement cannot be reached, Raul Natividad is prepared to present the case in court.
