Catherine Dee Benouis

Cathy was very helpful in guiding me through a mostly peaceful and amicable collaborative divorce. She and her team were very attentive and responsive to my case. She is a calming influence but also represented my interests very well. I highly recommend hiring Cathy for anyone looking for family... law assistance.

As a parent, one of the most terrifying, emotionally charged situations I've experienced is finding myself in a child custody lawsuit. To compound that fear, I had no idea of who could or should represent me in the most important battle I may ever face, and it was paralyzing. Catherine was highly rec...ommended to me by a prominent Austin attorney who practices law in another field. There are numerous reasons Catherine is both revered by her peers and ranked as a top Family Law attorney by the clients she has represented. She actively listens to absorb every detail of your case which allows her to identify all of the relevant information, to formulate multiple strategies, and then to analyze each angle to identify the most effective strategy. Catherine seamlessly navigates the nuances which make each case unique, and her execution and implementation is consistently thorough, well thought out, and diplomatic There is a singular, unknown skill set that very few of us are aware to look for when researching attorneys, and it is vital. I learned this from closely observing Catherine's conduct and process during our court hearings, and I only understood the importance when I experienced it firsthand. The attorney you hire needs to possess the instinct and intuition to accurately perceive, discern and react to everything that is not being said by the judge, the opposing council, any witnesses, and all other parties involved. In court, every statement made on behalf of both the Plaintiff and Defendant is intended to serve as evidence to either support or invalidate your argument, and no one is going to voluntarily reveal the cards in their hand. I believe Catherine’s ability to read people well enough to hone in on things that are not being spoken is exceedingly rare as it is not an attribute one can learn in law school, and this is exactly reason she has been able to establish an impeccable track record. When all of these strengths are combined with integrity, you get Catherine. She is a force to be reckoned with, and the only reason I maintain custody of my children. I strongly recommend her to represent anyone in any family law matter you’re facing because she earned my trust and respect.

Catherine Benouis handled my very emotional and difficult divorce with grace and strength. When I felt there was no hope, she was encouraging and helped me come to a resolution that was more than I had hoped for. She is smart, tactful and compassionate. I would reccomend (and have already!) her servi...ces to anyone. Thank you, Catherine!

Cathy was perfect for our custody case. She was a great combination of efficient and effective as well as compassionate yet firm. She was always responsive and made herself immediately available when we had a few urgent issues arise. She came highly recommended to us, and now we can highly recommend ...her to others.
