Biography
Jennifer Caras graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Science degree. After college, Jennifer attended the University of Houston Law Center. It was during Jennifer's summer law school internships at Aid to Victims of Domestic Abuse and the Texas Council for Family Violence that she became interested in family law issues and advocacy. She was inspired by her work and felt like she was making a difference in people's lives and serving to protect those in need. Jennifer will tell you that her favorite part of being a family law attorney is helping her clients get through one of the most difficult times in their lives.
Jennifer has handled many complex family law matters, and her approach is to resolve her cases using the best medium possible. Therefore, she has experience negotiating, mediating, and litigating. It is also important to Jennifer that she give back to the community. She is actively involved with the Anti-Defamation League and was selected to be a part of the Anti-Defamation League's Glass Leadership Institute. Jennifer is also an advisor to college students at the University of Texas at Austin and was recently selected to be part of the 2013 Austin Young Lawyer's Association Leadership Academy.

She works @ Judy’s office, ABSOLUTLY money hungry. No emails reply on time. Documents always contained many inaccuracies.

Jennifer Suzanne Frank Caras's Lawyer Endorsements
"Jennifer is an outstanding lawyer. I strongly endorse her services."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"When I say that Jennifer puts her whole soul into a case, it means that she stays up at night thinking about creative ways to deal with difficult issues, talks to everyone available about ways to deal with novel legal claims, researches every handbook, journal, and encyclopedia, then looks up the caselaw. She really takes an interest in her clients, in learning for them, and in helping them, more so than any other young family lawyer in the Austin area. Jennifer is an asset to any case and will doggedly pursue a positive outcome until she attains it."
"I endorse this lawyer. Jennifer is a strong advocate for her clients and also a pleasure to work with. She has a keen sense for the issues and getting to the heart (or heat) of the matter. She's a true asset to the Travis County and Williamson County communities."
