About Christian

          You don't have to do this alone. Christian can help you navigate the complexities of your family law matters with dignity. Christian knows what you are going through, and she is fiercely protective of her clients and their interests. She is self-made, nontraditional, works hard, and loves to get to know each client to find custom solutions to their needs. Her favorite phrase is: "You can't get what you don't ask for."

         

          She accepts and welcomes all types of families, all types of clients with challenging facts and assets, and refuses to pass judgment on people who have gone through hard times or made some mistakes. With her charming demeanor, her quick wit, and her pitbull-like tenacity she is exactly the type of attorney you want by your side when you find yourself in the courtroom or staring down the barrel of a legal labyrinth.

         

           Christian graduated magna cum laude from the University of Houston and went on to study law at South Texas College of Law Houston. She is the recipient of many awards including the 2019 National Association of Family Law Attorneys Top 10 under 40 Award, the 2017 Emerging Leader Award, and the Harry L. Reid Oil, Gas, and Mineral Law Award. She is also a recipient of CALI awards in Texas Family Law, Texas Oil and Gas Law, Legal Research and Writing, and Education Law Writing Seminar.

Review Christian Smith

Highly recommended divorce attorney.

Posted by

I worked with Christian Smith for my divorce. And from beginning to the very end she has been with me step-by-step. Very professional and extremely warmed hearted. Especially during a very difficult situation. Definitely recommended for anyone. I personally have 2 young kids as a father she was a great attorney to represent my interests.

Great Divorce Lawyer!

Posted by

I am so happy I went with Christian Smith to represent me during my divorce. Anyone who has been through divorce knows it is one of the most stressful life events anyone can go through. Christian made the process as smooth and quick as possible. She is very easy to communicate with and always responsive in a timely manner. She worked hard to resolve my case and did so with integrity and professionalism. Best of all, she understood the cost associated with legal fees and was mindful to not nickle and dime my case. I would definitely recommend her to a friend or loved one going through a divorce.

Christian is an old friend and a fellow family law attorney. She is one of the most dedicated, professional and whip-smart people I have had the pleasure of knowing. Even though I practice the same areas of the law as Christian, I would not hesitate to hire her as an attorney myself. If you are in need of a skilled and compassionate advocate in the Austin, Texas area, look her up.

I am honored to have Christian as an associate. I am continually amazed by her knowledge and intuitive grasp of the law and procedure. I've had the opportunity to observe her in the courtroom, where I find that she is honing a style that is calm yet assertive. Christian is a natural and has a bright future ahead of her.
