No one should ever try to face the complex and difficult process of divorce or separation without the advice and representation of a highly skilled and experienced family lawyer.
You may have the support of friends and family, but as helpful as this may be, nothing can replace the advice and guidance that our experienced attorneys provide.
Our lawyers have practiced extensively in family law for years in and around the Austin area, including Travis, Williamson and Hays Counties, and this enables them to ensure that you obtain a fair divorce and the highest possible chance at a favorable verdict in a litigated or contested divorce.
Our divorce attorneys have years of experience with issues pertaining to dissolution of marriage whether through legal separation, annulment or divorce.
They also understand that other matters arise that are pertinent to divorce or family law cases such as trusts, adoptions, and drafting of wills in their capacity as family law practitioners.

Our attorneys are also qualified to handle any aspect of the divorce process such as child custody issues, alimony/settlement of child support, prenuptial agreements and division of assets.
Even in situations where both partners agree to end a marriage mutually, these parties can retain our divorce attorneys together for legal assistance.
However, in most cases where the relationship is contentious, only one partner will retain us to represent them in their divorce. In this case, our family law attorneys will draft a petition for divorce on behalf on you as the client, seeking dissolution of the marriage.
Your spouse will then be served as required and the process will begin. Our divorce lawyer will then aggressively represent you in court should it come to that. However, many cases end up settling long before we reach the court room
