Robert E. Raesz Jr.

Bob is a straight shooter and a good man to have on your side. Thankfully we settled in mediation for 50/50 custody and looking back I wish I had been more aggressive as Bob advised on the child support and financial aspects but that's my fault not his. He was a rock in the mediation room and thoug...h we didn't have to go to a courtroom I have first-hand accounts from others that he's a fine litigator. He's very fair with his billing, farming out the more time-consuming aspects of documentation, financial spreadsheets etc to Blake at a lower rate. My total fees were less than half of my ex's despite hers being nominally a lower hourly rate than Bob. Highly recommended.

I was referred to Law Office of Robert E. Raesz, Jr. at the time of extreme stress and despair, when the only thought going through my mind was to protect my children from an unhealthy and unsafe marriage I was in. Bob was amazing: years of experience in the legal system, confidence, and invaluable p...ersonal advice he shared with me throughout this process helped me tremendously to not lose my mind and fall apart. Divorce is never easy, and I would not be able to go through this without Bob's expertise and emotional support. To add to that, I am extremely pleased with the outcome of the proceedings, and continued legal assistance and professionalism in representing me in all matters related to child support, decree provisions enforcement, and general legal advice.

My experience with Bob started with a difficult divorce process in 2013 and culminating with a second round of proceedings about child visitation rights in 2020. Bob and his team guided me through these proceedings with skill, diplomacy, vast knowledge in family law. Bob takes a low pressure approac...h that makes the anxiety of these situations bearable.

We sought out Bob Raesz after having an unsavory experience with our first lawyer. She was dramatic, disorganized and did not keep up on her deliverables. We experienced a complete 180 when we signed up with Bob - he was able to keep his commitments from day one. From the start, Bob and everyone in h...is office took the time to listen to us without judgement. His questions were always thoughtful and he consistently brought an air of calm consideration and power to both our meetings and in the two-day long trial. Emily, was a remarkable part of this team who, with Bob, supported us through a very stressful, emotional and difficult time in our lives. The two of them were a dynamic duo. We worked with Bob to fight against a lawsuit and for the custody of our daughter and after 9 months, we settled in court. Our wants were for our story to be heard, communication to be timely and our family and daughter to be protected. Bob and his team fully delivered on every one of those points, even when it was a slightly different outcome than our initial expectations. Our life now feels better protected, with less worry; our relationship with our daughter is healthy and strong - we owe much of this to Bob and Emily and would undoubtably go back to him if we ever need help.

I hired Bob Raesz after I was forced to pursue modifications to the terms of my child custody and child support arrangements. The issues were complicated and the outcome was uncertain. I was very pleased with the outcome of the proceedings and believe the modification was absolutely in the best int...erests of my children. I also believe my family would not have been as successful had I not turned to Mr. Raesz. I would recommend Bob for any family related issues, especially hotly contested issues. Bob has a way of weaving through wreckage to focus on the issues deemed critical in the eyes of the Court. He was very helpful in removing the emotional roadblocks and focusing on what really matters! His approach was professional and straight-forward. Bob is direct, confident, and focused. He is well respected throughout the local judiciary systems. His experiences as a former Judge in Bastrop County sets him apart in comparison to his peers. Needless to say, he will always be my family law attorney.
