The Attorney who fights for your family

I came to Mr. Austin during a difficult short-term marriage seeking a divorce. After retaining him we immediately jumped in to work out a fair and reasonable compromise. His legal understanding was fantastic but better were his people skills when discussing what to do with the case. In court he was t...horoughly prepared to present what was in my best interest. Still he emphasized the importance of working together to maintain, and improve, the relationship I have with my spouse and are coming child no matter the outcome. He told us, “Family is first.” Shortly after going to court my spouse and I realized that it would be better to try and get along and we decided to dismiss our divorce. Without Mr. Austin's skill and negotiations, it is very possible our relationship would have ended without us ever knowing the importance of coming together as a family instead of separating. If you’re looking to hire an attorney who knows both family law and people, I encourage you to reach out to Mr. Austin's office and put your hard-earned dollars into a professional who fights for your family and gets results

Excellent attorney!

I came to Mr. Austin on a very contentious move away case. I was very nervous about how things would go in the case. Throughout the process he was open, consistent and honest about what to expect. His professionalism gave me comfort but we still had to fight. After an adverse recommendation from the... evaluator I was shocked and believed I'd be forced to choose between moving or separating from my daughter! Mr. Austin reassured me that we would be prepared to reach the result I came to him for - namely, moving my daughter to a better life. After thoroughly preparing me for trial and some skillful negotiation with the other parent, they relented and gave into our desire to have my daughter move with me. I knew what I wanted when I met Mr. Austin and he delivered. I’ve dealt with quotes of a few attorneys over these years but I can honestly Mr. Austin was my favorite to work with. If you're searching for an attorney who stands by you to get what you need, I would have no doubt in recommending Mr. Austin.

Excellent and knowledgeable attorney!

I hired Gary Austin to represent me in my Child Custody case. I could not have hired a better attorney. He was highly professional and extremely knowledgeable. When I needed advice or an explanation of what was going on he gave it to me very clearly. If something came up outside of court he pointed ...me in the right direction. In court he was detailed oriented and passionate for my case. What I really liked was how simple he made the process to go through and his personal commitment to my case. If you need someone that will fight for you, I recommend you contact his office.

Gary Austin- A professional and compassionate lawyer

I hired Mr. Austin to represent me in my family law child custody case. As a father seeking more time with my children, I didn’t know how to effectively argue my case before the court, or what rights and privileges I had. Mr. Austin took my case enthusiastically, and from the get go was compassionate..., understanding of the details of my case, and always made me feel heard. Mr. Austin effectively communicated my thoughts and requests of the court in all declarations and paperwork. He was fast in responding to all queries via phone, email, and text. He also talked with me frequently via phone throughout the whole process and gave me a much needed sense of security going into court. On the day of the hearing, Mr. Austin faithfully argued my side and represented me in all matters to the judge and the other attorney. He was calm, professional, and got me most of what I was requesting from the court. If you want a caring, compassionate, and effective lawyer to represent you in your family law case, I highly recommend Mr. Gary Austin. I will be requesting his services in a heart beat in the future should the need arise.
