I could not have possibly made a better decision in retaining Matthew & the entire group. Professional, honest, ethical & straight to the point. My appreciation for the knowledge & effort this firm provided me throughout the most difficult time in my life left me with a sense of security & faith that I was in the best hands possible. Without hesitation myself & my family would strongly advise utilizing this firm in the absolute best interest for a problem that deserves the best results for oneself & ones family.

After two horrible experiences with family law attorneys, but not willing to give up the fight for my son, I decided to give Matthew Hill an opportunity. My initial consultation I was on the defense with Mr. Hill because of my frustration with my divorce decree and an ex who I felt was breaking the decree left and right and “getting away with it”. I was very open about what I wanted changed (and it’s quite a bit) but most importantly wanted my son to come to school with me, as I am a teacher. He was quite blunt, telling me what I wanted would need to happen in steps, if at all, and he can’t guarantee the outcome. Frustration set in again, but didn’t last long. After multiple phone calls/emails (that were ALWAYS answered right away) *** Thank you Tina (she is very knowledgeable and empathetic) *** we were able to have a court date to set a temporary hearing. Hill was professional, calm and very prepared. 3 hours later, my son is now enrolled at my school and the rest of the details played out in my favor as well. We are still working on other issues and Tina and Matt have continued to be just as responsive, professional and “in my corner” as they were from the beginning. I couldn’t be more thankful.

Mr. Hill exceeded all expectations throughout my divorce process, ultimately helping me settle with my wife in mediation. It becomes very clear when searching for a divorce attorney that there is no shortage of them, but finding a quality attorney like Mr. Hill truly put my mind at ease during this difficult time. From the initial consultation, he set himself apart from all others I spoke with regarding my situation. Mr. Hill listened to what was important to me and went about accomplishing that as efficiently as possible. I highly recommend him.

Recently used mr. hill for my divorce excellent attorney and a nice person made me feel comfortable n confident. And paralegal Tina went way above and beyond spoke with me several times not just about the legal part of my divorce but on an emotional level to help me get through it. I hope I never need a divorce lawyer again, but for anybody who is looking for a good attorney I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MR. Hill. Thank you very much

I would recommend Mr. Hill to anyone dealing with family law issues. He was very upfront with me and explained anything that I did not understand. His staff was very helpful and friendly. I'm thankful I had someone with the knowledge Mr. Hill possess on my side.

Atty Barger provided me with the utmost professionalism & expertise while representing me through a divorce. He offered honest opinions about my case based on his wealth of knowledge without false hopes & upfront on potential outcomes. Responsiveness was prompt to all issues I brought forward & was easily accessible via email/phone. Going through this process was less than enjoyable and extremely stressful. I appreciate all that was done for me, felt that I was represented well and am satisfied with my outcome. I highly recommend Atty Jason Barger.

Jason Barger was incredibly professional, comprehensive, personable, and dedicated in helping me bring a complicated divorce to a close. He lowered the temperature of the proceedings by looking for common ground and opportunities for cooperation which culminated in a favorable settlement agreement. Super team and I'm absolutely glad I chose this firm to represent me!

Jason Barger is very knowledgeable and professional. He knows where to pick the right fight for you so you don't waste your money. We did everything through phone calls and emails. I was a little concerned because we didn't have the chance to meet each other in person but he managed to get everything resolved at the end. I am very pleased with the result. His assistant is great to work with as well. They are a great team!

Jason was great to work with. Very professional, prompt, knowledgeable, and to the point. When I was searching for an attorney, his office staff was the only one that took time to call me back.

Trying to go through the name change process on my own turned into a nightmare. I hired CHA Law Group to take care of it and, from the initial phone consult to getting my certified copies of the name change order, it was stress free. Communication was excellent and they were friendly and professional throughout the process.

The consultation cost $125. However, I spent 35 mins trying to explain the custody order he had access to the entire call. Don’t waste your money.

Not sure why google isnt showing my review, but i am going to reword it then: I hired Will Shindler for a family law case. All I can say is I had a good case with good proofs, pictures, etc. He was very submissive to the opposing party and disrespectful to me and my case. He would ask me to do everything the oppossing party was asking for and would not really fight for me. Also, In family matters you have to be professional with everyone involved, these are painful moments for both parties yet he was heard many times laughing it up with the opposing party's lawyer, so much so that the oppossing party plaintiff noticed it too. I felt like all my money went down the drain, not to mention the emotional pain left after a "professional" didn't want to fight for you.

After we adopted our two children internationally, we wanted to "re-adopt" them in Texas so they could obtain Texas birth certificates. Not many family law attorneys even know this is an option for internationally adopted children. But Christine knew, and also knew exactly how to get it done quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend Christine!

The CHA Law firm went out of their way when my son was dying of cancer. He only had two weeks to live when we contacted them. They spoke with him on the phone, wrote his will, came out to the house to ensure he had all his faculties, brought witnesses to the will signing at his house, and was warm and caring during his last days. As a father, you couldn’t ask for more.

Always remember that your attorney is NOT your friend, no matter how much they try to act like it while you still have billable hours flowing for them. It's after the billable hours get cut off that you find out the truth.

Micah and his team are phenomenal at what they do. MIcah is very diligent about helping keep you calm during a daunting process. He not only holds you accountable to what you say is the right thing, he will push to make sure you are keeping the long term abreast of mind especially when there are children involved. There were times I confused how calm he is in the pocket with a lack of aggressiveness, but that couldn't be further from the case. When it was crunch time, he delivered without me having to compromise my principles. Micah and his team also push the most amicable way to solve issues which you may not feel good during the process, but means the world when it is over. I would highly recommend Micah and his support team especially Kimberly.

Going through the most difficult time of my life, I had the tremendous good fortune of being represented by Micah Royer. Micah invested himself in my case, my situation and my life. His integrity, expertise, and compassion eased the stress and brought clarity where I had none. Through his efforts, I was able to get through the proceedings and begin the healing process much more smoothly and with confidence that the future was full of hope. I highly recommend Micah Royer.

This review is long over due. There is no way to put into words how wonderful my experience was with Micah and Kim. Divorce was the most difficult life experience I’ve ever had to navigate. The thoughtful and caring guidance I received helped me maintain my sanity throughout the process. I was an emotional mess and unable to make decisions. I appreciated the calm and calculated approach to handling the seemingly endless and often ridiculous attacks from the Ex. Despite the circumstances I actually looked forward to meeting with my team. I can honestly say that I miss seeing my new friends at this office. Possibly more importantly, my case was settled efficiently and ethically. They say only lawyers win in court but everyone involved knows I WON this one. Micah came through in a huge way for me. I’ve passed his card on three times. I’ll continue to do so.

I hired Micah Royer to help me with child support modification and enforcement. I reside out of state, so I trusted Micah to handle everything without me ever having to be present. What is normally a fairly simple process was unsurprisingly challenging due to the other party, but Micah and his paralegal, Kim, took a very trying situation and handled it with care and ease. I always felt that Micah had my best interests in mind and was ready to do whatever was necessary to see those interests pursued. He is not only skilled at what he does, but he handles his cases with compassion and care. It is easy to see that he truly cares about his work. I would readily hire Micah again and would highly recommend him.

I really feel as though you are an amazing lawyer: caring, brilliant, fair, and effective. I wish I had found you first! After almost a year of inaction by my previous two attorneys, I found and hired Ben. Not only has Ben's billing been amazingly fair, in a single hearing Ben's expert preparation and his brilliant and effective counter arguments resulted in my estranged, year long stalling, ex-wife to finally ask to schedule a mediated settlement, that same day. Best of all, one month later my divorce was settled. - Thank you Ben, Peter

Absolutely, hands down, the best family lawyer in Austin. I cannot thank Ben enough for assisting me in a very difficult child custody case. He is honest, articulate, and really cares about his clients. I feel fortunate to have had him on my side through a difficult custody battle. When I started my search, I visited websites of many attorneys and it almost seemed like an impossible task when every website seemingly look the same. But just after spending few minutes on Ben’s website, I knew right away that I found an attorney who would be able to help me. I was really impressed by his straightforward explanation of how he does business, his credentials, and reviews from other clients. I ultimately decided on Ben after speaking with him. Ben worked very hard on my case. He takes that extra level of care when you need it most, responding to emails and phone at night and on the weekends. This was very much appreciated. In my case, my ex-wife’s attorney used dirty & unethical tactics but Ben handled it with impressive aplomb. Ben did a superb job of presenting the facts in the courtroom. The extent of Ben’s preparation in comparison to that of the opposing attorney was obvious during the hearing. His courtroom performance is unparalleled. Ben is a good man and a phenomenal attorney. While I realize I was not his only client, he made me feel like I was. I was impressed by his confidence and obvious capability to handle anything that was thrown at him. Ben was responsive, timely, aggressive when needed, and throughout the whole process, I knew I was in good hands. While this was one of the toughest things I've gone through, I could not be more grateful for the results I got through Ben. Thank you so much, Ben.

Ben was absolutely amazing, to say the least. I came to him in a frenzy after getting ghosted by a different lawyer that I ended up reporting to the board. He was eager to pick up my case right where it was left off at. He’s sharp & quick witted. He doesn’t over promise and is a realist. He’s also very responsive. Watching him in action is a beautiful thing. He’s worth every penny! The piece that completely sets Ben apart from the rest is his focus on the client. I never imagined I would have such attentive service from a lawyer, honestly. Thank you for everything, Ben! Your representation helped me get through this process nearly stress free!

Ben was great to work with through my divorce and always responded promptly with any questions I had. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable.

Ben Carrasco is an excellent and attentive attorney. He defended the enforcement of a pro se settlement agreement at my hearing flawlessly. The day before, he got a continuance hearing dismissed - which is difficult to do. He is sharp and concise but also thorough and relevant in his delivery and defense of the facts. His logical approach, evidence based offensive style and understanding of the law can't be beat. He managed my situation perfectly without compromise. I was impressed by his presentation and preparation of my case to the judge and I'm grateful for his very professional and value added representation. Don't look any further than Ben Carrasco!

    Absolutely, hands down, the best family lawyer in Austin. I cannot thank Ben enough for assisting me in a very difficult child custody case. He is honest, articulate, and really cares about his clients. I feel fortunate to have had him on my side through a difficult custody battle. When I started my search, I visited websites of many attorneys and it almost seemed like an impossible task when every website seemingly look the same. But just after spending few minutes on Ben’s website, I knew right away that I found an attorney who would be able to help me. I was really impressed by his straightforward explanation of how he does business, his credentials, and reviews from other clients. I ultimately decided on Ben after speaking with him. Ben worked very hard on my case. He takes that extra level of care when you need it most, responding to emails and phone at night and on the weekends. This was very much appreciated. In my case, my ex-wife’s attorney used dirty & unethical tactics but Ben handled it with impressive aplomb. Ben did a superb job of presenting the facts in the courtroom. The extent of Ben’s preparation in comparison to that of the opposing attorney was obvious during the hearing. His courtroom performance is unparalleled. Ben is a good man and a phenomenal attorney. While I realize I was not his only client, he made me feel like I was. I was impressed by his confidence and obvious capability to handle anything that was thrown at him. Ben was responsive, timely, aggressive when needed, and throughout the whole process, I knew I was in good hands. While this was one of the toughest things I've gone through, I could not be more grateful for the results I got through Ben. Thank you so much, Ben.

    Ben was absolutely amazing, to say the least. I came to him in a frenzy after getting ghosted by a different lawyer that I ended up reporting to the board. He was eager to pick up my case right where it was left off at. He’s sharp & quick witted. He doesn’t over promise and is a realist. He’s also very responsive. Watching him in action is a beautiful thing. He’s worth every penny! The piece that completely sets Ben apart from the rest is his focus on the client. I never imagined I would have such attentive service from a lawyer, honestly. Thank you for everything, Ben! Your representation helped me get through this process nearly stress free!

    Ben Carrasco is an excellent and attentive attorney. He defended the enforcement of a pro se settlement agreement at my hearing flawlessly. The day before, he got a continuance hearing dismissed - which is difficult to do. He is sharp and concise but also thorough and relevant in his delivery and defense of the facts. His logical approach, evidence based offensive style and understanding of the law can't be beat. He managed my situation perfectly without compromise. I was impressed by his presentation and preparation of my case to the judge and I'm grateful for his very professional and value added representation. Don't look any further than Ben Carrasco!

We consulted with Margaret in March 2019 to represent my sister for her divorce. From the moment we met Margaret, we knew we had the right person in our corner. Her knowledge and caring demeanor made a very ugly situation as painless as possible. During the entire process, Margaret kept us informed of what was going on and was readily available for any questions. She fought hard for my sister and the outcome was more than favorable. In October of 2020, following the death of my sister's son-in-law and unforeseen death of her daughter to Covid-19, we had to retain Margaret's services to handle the adoption of my sister's grandson. Again, Margaret acted promptly and efficiently. There was never any hesitation on who should handle this very sensitive matter. Yesterday, not even 4 months later, we received the news that the order for adoption had been granted and signed by the judge! Words cannot express the gratitude we have for Margaret.

Very respectable and caring attorney. She answered my first call attempt from her cell phone.....while on vacation! Unheard of!!!! I’m so thankful for Margaret’s attention regarding my elderly mothers situation. She stayed in constant communication and provided legal knowledge. After all this, she was so kind & understanding when we had to cancel the appointment with her due to my mother moving to another state. Thank you Margaret!!!❤️

Having known Margaret both socially and professionally for 20 years, I would highly recommend her legal services. She possesses the highest degree of ethical standards and her integrity is bar none. She is knowledgeable in estate planning and has helped me navigate these complicated waters with her expertise. Margaret also represented my daughter through a sticky divorce with ease.

Margaret handled my will with great professionalism and concern for my personal wishes. Her suggestions and questions were so helpful for this intimate endeavor. The work was done in a timely fashion and she was available for changes as time passed. I would go to her office again if other issues arise.

I cannot give enough praise to Margaret. I had hired another attorney in the beginning who was basically going to railroad me. She took a large amount of money and was going to do the least amount of work she could get away with. When I fired that attorney and hired Margaret I was pleasantly surprised to find someone who was willing to back me up and go to bat for me. I think my life would have been much worse if it wasn’t for Margaret’s help. I owe her my and my daughter’s life ❤️

Mike skillfully and patiently guided me through an uncontested decree modification. Despite occasional friction between the parties, he was there with humor, insight, experience, and humanity. Anyone who is in need of down-to-earth, kind, fair representation should give him a call. An excellent choice.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Mike as a friend and colleague for years and consulting with him on a number of cases. He is compassionate, thorough and works very hard to get the best possible outcome for his clients. Family law cases are often the worst moment in a person's life, and anyone would be lucky to have Mike by their side to guide them.

Mike is a fantastic lawyer, he really cares about his clients and works hard on his cases.

This man was an ad lietem for my daughter and she is a troubled teen. He is placing her in an unsafe environment with a family member known for abuse and sexual abuse. They are drug addicts and prostitutes and he wants my teen girl to go live with these people OUT OF THE STATE OF TEXAS SO HE CAN GET PAID . He does not care about anything but the money. period. HE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT PEOPLE OR CHILDREN,what so ever. He is very rude, calls people names,he is a snake. HE IS A SHARK OUT FOR HIS OWN. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS SCUM. I had to give a star is why there is 1.

I would love to express how amazing David Kazen and Mary his legal assistant are in handling my case. He has defended me through unjust accusations and fought for my daughters and myself . Both he and Mary possess such an empathetic demeanor throughout my case and have been comforting and helpful during our professional time together. They both have had ethical and legal advice the entire time, and never made me feel like I was less than an important client. In times where I have been worried about ongoing issues occurring I have been able to reach them immediately even on the weekends. I would highly recommend David Kazen's girl to anyone needing a just and ethical family lawyer to represent them in their case. I only wish I had of found him sooner as the other attorneys I worked with in Austin were unethical in many ways and did little to nothing to help end this process. David is much different in assisting in closing things out so that the case will not continue to drag on.

David took over our case after our attorney passed away. His office came recommended from our precious attorney’s office. David jumped in and listened to our case and circumstances and was fully committed. David was even not too familiar with military retirement issues but allowed us to be fully involved in every step and was appropriately aggressive with opposing council to encourage a timely response. We would recommend David for anyone needing help in the family law arena or military retirement issues. And Mary in his office is a doll and so helpful all around wonderful experience.

David Kazen is hands down the lawyer I recommend to anyone seeking legal counsel. David represented me through my divorce as well as a custody battle a year later and I couldn’t have been more pleased. David and Mary, his legal assistant, are responsive, caring, and very knowledgeable of not only family law, but the workings of The Travis County judicial system as well. Usually being the father in the state of Texas already puts you behind the eightball when it comes to custody battles, but with David’s help and guidance I was able to get exactly what I had asked for in mediation. If you have any legal needs contact David Kazen.

I would like to say that having David Kazen represent me during divorce and child custody matters was a very comforting experience. David and his team kept me updated, educated and helped to reduce my anxiety during a very stressful and difficult time in my life. David remained diligent and committed to our case throughout more than a two year long legal battle that had a happy ending. I would like to say "Thank you" to David" for reuniting me with my children. I would highly recommend David Kazen Law.

David has been my attorney for almost a decade now and has artfully worked is way through an incredibly difficult divorce. I have appreciated his thorough knowledge of the law coupled with his rational and sensible advice throughout the process. It was extremely important to me during such a stressful and emotionally trying process that I could not only trust, but also rely on. I consider David top notch and would not hesitate to recommend him to any of my friends or family if they were ever to need the services of a family law attorney.

Chris through and through was a professional who understands the system and will prepare you on what might happen and will happen. He's honest and gets straight to the point of the situation. I had been dealing with a child's medical payment lawsuit that I should've never been sued for as well as TX AG's Office mistakenly setting up wrong child support payments amounts that without Chris, the issue would've never gotten resolved. Grateful that I found Chris and I highly recommend him to anyone going through hard co-parenting times.

Chris Is the best lawyer I could have ever been lucky enough to work with. The idea of getting a divorce was so hard to even think about but Chris made it very comfortable for me because he understood the difficulty , the decisions and how brave one must be as to leave hard marriage. He was there with understanding and helped me through every hoop. I have learned a lot from my experience and I would thoroughly recommend Chris if you are married to someone who is very manipulating. It’s gonna be hard no matter what but it’s really important that you have somebody like Chris in your corner to help you. He knows best how to get you through this process. You can put your trust in Chris. So, Hang in there , it will get better and when it’s over , it’s very important for you to have someone who knows the ropes as to how to take very good care of you and your concerns. Chris will do his best for you. He did this for me. .

I am grateful to have had the support of a fantastic attorney in the matter of my uncontested divorce. Chris Merritt made the process painless and quick. He is smart, experienced, thorough, approachable, and kind. His rate is fair. I recommend him highly.

Mr. Merritt is brilliant in the courtroom and works extremely hard for his clients. I saw this firsthand. Highly recommended.

Chris is a rare find in his field. He was very consultative in helping me find a solution for my family issue. He walked me through each option and stage of the process. He was forthcoming with which route was the best route for me. The route we chose for me ultimately paid him less than all others. He truly puts his clients before himself.
