About Taylor
Biography
Taylor Romero is an associate attorney with Cain & Skarnulis PLLC. Ms. Romero’s practice focuses on civil litigation and appeals, but Ms. Romero has additional and wide-ranging legal experience in divorce, SAPCR, enforcements, modifications, temporary restraining orders, injunctions, protective orders, breaches of contract, personal injuries, business formation and transactions, contract review and drafting, landlord-tenant disputes, estate planning, and probate.
Upon graduating law school, Ms. Romero turned down an established firm position to return home and build a successful legal practice, which she managed for three years before joining Cain & Skarnulis PLLC. This provided her immediate and significant experience in and out of court, advocating and resolving complex legal issues on behalf of her clients. She has appeared as lead counsel before most district and associate judges in Travis, Williamson, Hays, Caldwell, and Tarrant counties, Texas; the Third Court of Appeals; and on petition for review and amicus curiae letter briefing before the Supreme Court of Texas. Ms. Romero also specializes in jury selection and witness preparation and has been retained by other firms to assist with their preparation for trial.
Ms. Romero graduated summa cum laude from St. Edward’s University in Austin, Texas, with a B.A. in English Language Arts and a minor in Education. For two consecutive years, she was an award-winning teacher with the Academy for Global Studies at Austin High School. She then received a full academic scholarship to attend Baylor Law School where she received her Juris Doctorate.
Baylor Law School is known nationally for its emphasis on both the practical application of law and its advocacy program. While at Baylor Law School, Ms. Romero became one of the school’s top advocates, competing on five moot court and mock trial teams; winning regional, state, and national competitions; and earning over six different speaker and evidentiary awards at all levels of competition. These accolades include winning the Stetson National Pretrial Competition and the Texas Young Lawyer’s Association State Moot Court Competition, where Ms. Romero argued before the Supreme Court of Texas. In recognition, Ms. Romero was inducted into the National Order of Barristers for her skill in advocacy.
Ms. Romero graduated from Baylor Law School in 2013, and is licensed to practice law in Texas. She and her husband, Kyle, who is another Baylor lawyer practicing in Austin, live on the east side of Austin with their two dogs. When they are not working, they are outside rock climbing, backpacking, swimming, or traveling.

Taylor Romero's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. When I informed Taylor that I wanted to open a law firm, she personally took time out to run down all the things I would need to consider. Taylor is generous with her time and seeks cost-effective solutions for her clients."
"Taylor is a fierce advocate for her clients. I recommend Taylor at every opportunity I get. I'm always so impressed by her knowledge of the law and her dedication to her clients. Unlike a lot of attorneys, she genuinely cares about her clients and her kindness and compassion sets her apart from her peers. Further, she is always willing to help other attorneys in the community and has helped me out many times. I highly recommend Taylor Romero."
"I had the pleasure of working with Taylor in law school and in practice over the past four years. I would be hard-pressed to find an attorney more dedicated and resourceful than Taylor. She brings an unbridled passion to her job and makes it her personal mission to ensure that her clients get the best result. In my own interactions with Taylor, I discovered her to be one of the most hardworking attorneys I have ever met. Taylor is also a brilliant problem solver whose tenacity helps her analyze a thorny legal issue and reach a uniquely intuitive solution; this skill, paired with her unmatched desire to help others, makes her an indomitable force—one I would fear facing in a courtroom. Taylor also has the rare gift of breaking down complex issues. Her articulation and sharp mind earned her national recognition in the moot court competitions she won across the country. These same skills have helped her clients win in court and obtain favorable settlements. I fully endorse Taylor."
"Taylor Romero is a professional and intelligent attorney, and anyone would be lucky to have her representation. When dealing with Taylor Romero, one gets the sense that she truly cares about her clients. It's clear that she became a lawyer to help others, which is something that many other lawyers have forgotten. She has and will continue to fight for what's right."
"Taylor approaches everything she does as an attorney with the utmost dedication and passion. Having worked with her in law school, I know she will be a zealous advocate for all of her clients. I respect her fearlessness and ability to use creativity and intellect when tailoring the appropriate legal solution for each individual's needs. She is the type of person this profession needs, and I am fortunate to know her as both a colleague and a friend."
"Taylor demonstrates sheer skill at the craft of lawyering. She enjoys a reputation as bright, enthusiastic, and exceptionally industrious. I have witnessed firsthand Taylor’s tenacity in tackling difficult problems with aplomb. Briefly stated, she is a consummate professional. Her substantial professional skills aside, Taylor possess a rare level of maturity and self-confidence as an advocate. In law school, she impressed a demanding audience of judges across the country through numerous moot court and mock trial competitions. Taylor exudes confidence and patience in every aspect of her job, conducting herself with grace and poise under pressure in the courtroom. Taylor brought this excellence in advocacy with her to Austin. Most importantly, however, Taylor is a champion for her client; her commitment to her clients is unwavering and her work ethic unparalleled. To that end, she has set herself apart from other lawyers, and I recommend her without hesitation or reservation."
"Taylor is an exceptional attorney whose passion for achieving the best possible results for her clients is matched only by her formidable skill in the courtroom. At a time when many lawyers never see the inside of a courtroom (and are frightened to do so), Taylor's grace, confidence, and eloquence in the courtroom exude at a level that many attorneys require decades to master. Taylor has the passion and the drive essential for those few attorneys who are truly committed to excellence, and she has the tenacity needed to fight for her clients from the start of her representation to the very end. Simply put, no matter what your legal difficulties are, Taylor will get it right. She is the first person I contact when I need an Austin-area attorney, and I recommend her for all your legal needs."
"I endorse Taylor Romero. She is an excellent contributor to the question & answer section of AVVO. Her advice is consistent and to the point. Moreover, Ms. Romero's reputation in the legal community is A+."
"I endorse this lawyer."
