Child custody

Austin, was beyond excellent in handling my case. Worked day and night in the short time we had to prep for trial. He prioritized my situation first and foremost. He’s an expert at litigation and if you want to win then pick him.

Brilliant, Excellent Writer, and Genuine Personality

I hired Austin for a high conflict case about parenting time & decision making. My daughter will benefit in big ways, both now and in the future. I got the exact outcome I was looking to achieve and more. Austin’s understanding of the psychology behind the case was remarkable and the psychologist th...at were involved raved that I choose the right lawyer. In the very beginning, he genuinely tried to settle, but the other side would not budge. So then he wrote a legal motion that was exceptional. It was highly professional the way he wrote about the weaknesses in the other side’s case without insults or being catty. During the deposition, Austin had my ex talking in circles - and he did it with tact and grace. 3 weeks before the trial, the opposing side got the Judge to let them use an expert witness and evaluate my daughter the next day, which was on a Saturday. Austin stayed up all night on Friday and wrote a letter with evidence to the other side’s expert and made sure it hand delivered the next morning before the evaluation. When the other side’s expert released the report, it did not help my ex and aligned with the same information in Austin’s letter. Then 2 days before the hearing, the other side gave up. I would also say that Austin has a very genuine personality and really cared about helping me and ensuring my daughter was the one that got the most benefit from the case. Austin has my highest recommendation.

Excellent, thorough, and highly competent attorney

From the first time I spoke with Austin and explained my situation, I knew that he was the right attorney for me. He treated me as a partner in achieving my goals and not just as a client. He is very competent and detail-oriented. Austin asked all the right questions; listened to me intently; reque...sted all the right documentation; educated me on the law; and asked me about the outcome I desired. He was very professional and consistently upfront with me. He provided the pros and cons regarding possible outcomes and costs – both personal and monetary - of pursuing a path, leaving the final decision to me. I found him to be both considerate and a straight shooter. He was well prepared at my divorce proceedings and the judge thought so, too! The judge noted and complimented him on his thoroughness regarding documentation filed with the court and case law cited to support the arguments on my behalf. In addition, the judge was impressed with the spreadsheet exhibit he created that enabled the judge to quickly view the totality of the marital estate along with the proposed assets & debts to be allocated to each spouse. In the end, he formulated a strategy that worked out well. It incorporated my goals and achieved the best possible outcome for me. Austin is an excellent attorney and I highly recommend him!
