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.

Top notch criminal defense attorney and divorce attorney
Robert represented my son in a DWI case. He did an excellent job. The case was ultimately dismissed. I was very impressed with how he handled the overzealous prosecutor's office. He returned all of our phone calls. I also hired Mr. Thornton to represent me in a divorce. The case was handled ef...
"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."
