I came to Attorney Gary Austin’s family law office after my previous attorney fell ill in the middle of a highly contested divorce. The other side was misrepresenting things and dragging the case out, and I felt drained financially and emotionally.

Mr. Austin stepped in with genuine concern and sharp strategy. He focused on the agreement we had already reached and skillfully convinced the court to accept it, even when there were delays and objections. His staff kept clear communication with me about next steps, even when the court made mistakes, and together they made sure I was never left in the dark.

It was truly a team effort, and thanks to their persistence my long divorce finally came to an end. Attorney Gary Austin combines skill, foresight, and a human touch—he and his team really aim to get the best results for their clients.

If you’re facing a tough divorce, I highly recommend Attorney Gary Austin and his office.

I just had a consultation with Gary Austin, having spoken with quite a few attorneys and having retained two. Unlike my other experiences, I felt listened to and understood. Not only did he listen, but he asked detailed questions, which made me feel like he heard my side of the case, understood where I was coming from, and had a sense of how to move my case along. He helped me see my case clearly, explaining patiently what I’m up against in a way I could understand.

I came away from our time together with clear, realistic advice and options about how he would handle my case and get things moving. I’ve been hopeful before that I would get help, but this was better: practical, considered advice about what he would do. Gary Austin strikes me as knowledgeable but personal, and as someone who is clearly invested in helping clients.
