Loveless enjoys all aspects of his profession, from courtroom drama to dealing with the complex financial evaluation of his high-dollar clients. With his insight and sagacity, most of his cases are resolved without a trial, with optimum outcomes for his clients. Loveless is always a thorough advocate for his client, as well as a professional adversary to the opposing party. The result is that most of the time, both parties feel they received an equitable resolution.
In court or out, Loveless never forgets his main goals: treating his client with respect, and winning his cases. This philosophy has resulted in many referrals from satisfied clients, or other attorneys and even opponents. Loveless has successfully concluded and resolved the representation of some of the highest profile and most successful business and professional clients in the Metroplex. "The most satisfying aspect of my vocation is giving people back their lives," he says.

He is also a Fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, Director of the Texas Academy of Family Law Specialists, and past president of the Texas Chapter of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers.
Most of Loveless & Naylor' cases involve affluent couples, professional practices or closely-held business interest. He represents both women and men and is a strong advocate of women's rights. But no matter which side of the case Loveless is on, both sides know they are witnessing a quarter-century of experience and knowledge in every aspect of matrimonial law.
