About Candice

Learn Candice’s areas of practice.

Candice B. Deyerle is a founding partner of Deyerle Silva Smith, PLLC and is board certified in family law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. Clients with particularly complex family law issues, including divorce with businesses involved, multi-million dollar estates, privacy or publicity concerns, contested custody matters, children or parties with disabilities and/or special needs, or difficult issues such as alcoholism, drug abuse, addiction, mental health disorders, or personality disorders involved particularly benefit from Candice’s expertise. From the initial consultation, she will listen to and thoughtfully evaluate the facts of your case and work with you to develop a case plan with individualized goals of what you want to accomplish. With her specialized knowledge and experience in the courtroom, she’s able to provide exceptional legal advice for each client’s unique case. Since being licensed in 2010, she has a long track record of success and has successfully tried several jury and non-jury matters as lead counsel. Present and past clients of Candice consistently praise her for her responsiveness, dedication to their cases, and successful results.

 

While Candice has built a reputation of litigating excellent results for her clients in court, she knows that for many clients, a courtroom is the last place they want to end up in their divorce or custody dispute. It was for this reason that Candice completed mediation training through the A.A. White Dispute Resolution Center and is a certified mediator. With this training and negotiation skills, she has been able to reach amicable resolutions outside of court for numerous clients when appropriate.

 

Candice was born in Austin, Texas and lived there until moving to College Station to attend Texas A&M University. After graduating magna cum laude from Texas A&M University with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and minor in Business, she moved to Houston to study law. Candice earned her Doctorate of Jurisprudence from the University of Houston Law Center and was admitted to the State Bar of Texas in 2010. In addition, she became Board Certified in family in 2016 by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. She is licensed to practice law in all state courts throughout Texas.

 

From 2009 to 2017, Candice worked at a premier family law firm in Houston, Texas handling complex property and custody matters. In 2017, she joined and became a partner at another family law firm in Austin specializing in family law matters. In 2023, Candice established Deyerle Silva Smith, PLLC so that she could continue to provide to clients exceptional legal services as a managing partner and owner.

 

In addition to practicing family law, Candice enjoys spending time with her husband and two children.

The right team at the right time
I hired Kicker Davis to represent me during my recent divorce. After reading reviews on Avvo and an initial meeting with Chris Kirker, I knew this was the firm for me, and they certainly did not disappoint! During that first meeting, we discussed and developed our initial strategy that ultimately carried us through to the end. I especially liked that I went in feeling very defensive due to the fact I was served divorce papers just a few days earlier, but I left the office knowing those tables would be turned and we would take the offensive. Candice was my primary attorney who kept the pressure on by setting hearings, driving deadlines, and negotiating like no other. She initiated every interaction and set the tone accordingly. Candice and the entire support team at KD was also very empathetic during this time in my life. They listened to my needs and wants and gave me very sage advice along the way. At one point, my now ex-wife even said "Your attorney is much better than mine." I simply replied "I know. I hired the best in town for a reason." Thank You Kirker Davis!!

Candice Deyerle
Attorney Candice Deyerle and Paralegal Laurie Theriot provided expert guidance through a very difficult life situation. They were professional, knowledgable, and excellent communicators.

No Better Attorney Than Candice
If you are considering an attorney, especially for a family law matter like divorce, you are facing a difficult, emotional situation. You need a steady hand, brilliant mind, compassionate counselor and an efficient, effective litigator. There's no one that fits that profile better than Candice Deyerle. She knows the law, but she also knows people. She can filter complex situations and find the kernel that's most important. She is always well prepared for court...I saw it 10 times! She also has a disarming ease and presence, outside and inside the courtroom. She is patient and collaborative, but confident in what she feels will bring the best outcome...even if you as a client aren't as sure. You can trust Candice implicitly. Be a great client by being prepared and responsive, then let Candice do the job you hired her to do. You will be glad you did.

Empowering and intelligent
I cannot recommend Candice and her team highly enough. Candice is deeply knowledgeable about all aspects of family law and made an inevitably difficult process as smooth as possible. She is incredibly empowering, kind, and clear. She helped me understand my rights, advocated for me firmly and unwaveringly, and saw all potential challenges/obstacles well before they came to fruition. She is truly excellent, and I feel lucky to have found her!

Detail oriented & prepared
I worked with Candice and Kate (PA) over the past year. My situation was nerve racking, but I felt confident in their attention to detail, experience, and preparation. We ended up not needing to go to trial, which I opted for vs the stress/cost of litigation, but I feel strongly that trial would would have resulted in our favor. Hopefully never need go use a family attorney again, but I will contact KD if the need arises.

Highly Recommended
Candice and her paralegal Aleks, offered truly amazing support during what is quite clearly one of the most difficult things anyone can go through. Not only did they offer and execute excellent legal representation in my divorce, they showed tremendous empathy and listened to hear even if the issue at hand wasn't one that necessitated legal resolution. They were patient and professional through the entire divorce process and fought for what was in my best interest. No one is prepared to go through divorce, and I'm grateful for Candice and Aleks' guidance and perseverance. I can't thank them enough for all that they've done for me and I would not hesitate for a second to recommend them to anyone.

Above and beyond the best divorce Attorney in Austin
Candice Deyerle and her paralegal Laurie are an amazing team. I never had one doubt in my mind that they were both meant to represent me the first time I met them.Candice truly cares for her clients. She will go above and beyond. She always has your best interest at heart. She is very strategic and will be honest with you from the get go. She is also very mindful of your financials and would always propose cost effective ways. She is incredible at what she does and is without a doubt the BEST in her field. I highly recommend her. Laurie was my rock when anything came up. She made me see the light when I was placed in difficult situations. She was ALWAYS readily available to answer ALL my questions no matter how minute they might of been. I felt they were a blessing for me and I can't thank them enough for all the hard work they have done for me. You cannot go wrong choosing this Duo team.

Candice Deyerle- Child Custody Order
Candice Deyerle helped me immensely when I hired her to modify my child custody order. She was extremely patient with me during a time where I had many emotions. She came up with an inventive way to help me get what I was asking for, that was also fair for all parties. She made me feel that she truly cared about me and my situation by thoroughly explaining and helping me work through any of my concerns. I really appreciate all of her hard work, time, patience, and understanding during this troubled time. I couldn't have hired a better lawyer for my case!

Great divorce attorney
I found Candice to be very a professional and knowledgeable attorney. She kept me informed about the progress of my case as needed and were always quick to respond to any of my questions or concerns. I always got clear guidance and/or assistance from her with document preparations and what my next action steps should be. With an excellent team of paralegals behind her I will highly recommend Candice!

True professional, very responsive
Candice is a true professional, great listener and very thoughtful. She was very responsive, answering all my queries (dumb or otherwise) within hours if not minutes, always advising me to do the right thing and in a ethical manner and representing me professionally and protecting my best interests. The process was difficult as anticipated but her guidance made the journey lot easier. I truly appreciated having her by my side.

Helped me through the most difficult time of my life
Candice was an amazing attorney to have in my corner through the most difficult time of my life. She handled my divorce, my child custody and the events surrounding international child abduction with power, confidence and grace. Both herself and her paralegal, Julie, made what was an incredibly trying time easier. They were able to resolve my issues and guide me every step of the way. In court, I was so glad to have Candice as my attorney. While I hope I never have to use her again, I know that she is always there when I need her.

Candice is top notch
Candice handled our long drawn out and extremely complicated high net worth modification suit, involving possession and multiple complex issues. She is 100% professional, understands and handles issues well. She doesn’t get emotional about things and tells it like it is. She helped us win everything we wanted and more, by using the right approaches, strategy, and methods. Highly recommend her!

Great Attorney!!!
Candice is an all-around amazing attorney, and I give her my strongest recommendation. Candice demonstrated incredible knowledge and strategy in her field, was beyond prepared every day, and communicated extensively with me throughout the entire process. Furthermore, she showed a great level of concern and care about both me and my case, and made a difficult custody situation much easier to handle. Candice was able to secure a successful outcome for me in my family law matter – to say that I am impressed and happy with her representation is an understatement.

A strong, knowledgeable attorney you can win with...
I went through a divorce from a very feisty, pathological liar, sociopathic narcissist. Getting free from someone like that you want someone strong, knowledgeable, won't be shaken or intimidated, and who can keep you calm along the way. A shark in lambs clothing - that is Candice Deyerle. She is one sharp cookie. She was by my side in a mediation with the same man years after the divorce. She gave me wise advice, was strong yet very personable with the judge, and brought me through that battle wonderfully. Unlike many other lawyers, she is conscious about your dollar as well, and does all she can to help keep costs down. I have since referred many friends to her, and they have all thanked me, and were very happy with her as well. I highly recommend Candice! I wouldn't want to walk into a family law battle without her in my corner.
