I grew up in South Georgia where I was raised on traditional values and southern cooking. It comes down to minding your manners and finding joy in the simple things, really. I was always near woods or a farm. Even as a child I found peace in those woods and being around horses, cows and dogs. I was trusted with firearms at a young age. Hard to imagine a 12 year old boy, alone in the woods with a rifle these days.
I know what it means to take on a responsibility. I know the value of someone's trust.
Coming from a long line of musicians, I played in bands professionally, even doing a stint at Disney World. I still record from time to time. Music heals many wounds. And draws us together.
I have two children and two dogs. The wife decided to split, so I know what that feels like.
I went to law school in Alabama where I met some Texans. Texas and Texans struck me as different and my kind of people. So, here I am. I do love Texas.
In the past fourteen years I have practiced divorce, custody and criminal law in Texas. I have seen the good and certainly the bad. People make mistakes and people have mistakes done to them. Sometimes, you just need a little help. When you have a legal problem on top of an emotional one, it is mighty hard to sort through it yourself. That is where I come in. I know the law, and I know what going through a divorce feels like.
I don't believe in drawing a case out for no good reason. If you need to split the sheets, best get it done quick and turn the page. Problem is, not everybody feels that way. Most folks don't really want a trial. So, get the thing set, get ready, then settle up. The good news is, it will end. I will be with you. Do right by me, and I'll do right by you.
If you are having some legal trouble, give me a call. I can help you.

Superb, Smart, Knowledgeable and Communicative WITH PHENOMENAL RESULTS..
I retained Mr. Thornton when I was charged with a DWI. Mr. Thornton made me feel comfortable from day one. He was both honest and optimistic about my case. He told me the truth, the worst case scenario, then ultimately fought for and achieved the best case scenario. He made sure every move we made wa...

Excellent results!
Mr. Thornton did an excellent job of guiding me through the process of appealing a municipal court verdict. This can be a somewhat anxiety provoking experience for someone with no prior contact with the court system, and Mr. Thornton's calm demeanor and good advice went a long way to reassure me as ...

Outstanding Lawyer
Robert represented me in a Criminal Case and I am very satisfied with his job. He dismissed my criminal case and he managed to handle it very well when I didn't think it was possible to get the case dismissed. If you are looking for a Outstanding Lawyer, he is the one.
"Robert's passion is criminal law. His attention to detail; his knowledge of the law and persistence has resulted in outright dismissals, acquittals and some just over the top good deals. He is very careful and astute. His arguments are persuasive. Robert Thornton was opposing counsel in one of my cases. His attention to detail and aggressive posture impressed me very much such that he became a part of my team. He is of counsel to the Jackson Law Group. He has assisted me in several matters - especially, high end complex litigation. As a result, he has become well known to the bar."
