Andi truly believes that the best way to end a marriage, or resolve a dispute between people who have been in a relationship, is by reaching an agreement so that an already strained relationship does not become damaged further by the intensity of the litigation process. But not every case settles. That is why Andi engages in thorough preparation: so that if a case must be tried, it is tried well.  Working hard to settle a case while being thoroughly prepared to try the case in court is the pinnacle of effective lawyering to which Andi strives with the help of her able paralegals and assistants.. Andi has a penchant for the tough custody cases,  and has tried many in her 19 year career. She also enjoys the rigor of a good property case that focuses on valuing business entities, tracing separate property and/or interpreting premarital agreements.  She enjoys helping people during this turbulent time by offering them information, guidance and compassion as they make important decisions about their futures.. Andi’s dad is a doctor and her mom is a nurse, so they clearly care about people (and are averse to lawyers.) Andi found her way to law school through her shared desire to help people. She wanted to work with people, not for corporations (and definitely not in medical malpractice.) Family law was a natural fit that allowed her to spend her day with individual people as clients.. Andi hales from northwest Indiana (the Region). She attended Munster High School (National Speech Champion in 1990), Miami University in Ohio for her bachelor’s degree and Valparaiso University School of Law. She did not return to the mid-west after coming to Texas for her law school internship in Austin in 1998 and found that she was not a lonely transplant. Midwesterners are everywhere, y’all.. She was effective in transplanting her husband, Christopher, from Indiana in 2003. She later persuaded her parents to relocate to Texas by having two children. They all happily reside in Lockhart, Texas, just 30 miles south on 183 where the barbeque roams. Her children share in her passion for physical activity and performing arts; so there are a lot of dance, singing and theatre classes being coordinated on the official family calendar.

After thirty years of practice, having been licensed in Law School as a student working for the U.S. Attorney, Fourth Court of Appeals and Legal Aid, I have practiced in most areas of Law.  In 1986 at the request of my aunt and uncle I moved to Pennsylvania to help them with their antique business.  I became licensed in Pennsylvania and worked for two judges, one criminal and one civil.  My job was to draft opinions of the judges after researching the law and recommending the outcome of the rulings based on the research.  I was also appointed a Master for the Courts after serving on panels with other attorneys in matters that would be considered small claims or county court level in Texas.  I withdrew my license in Pennslyvania after coming back to Texas since I missed my family and friends, beside wanting a warmer climate.. Once back in San Antonioi,Texas in 1988, I began my solo practice with several other former fellow students at St. Mary's Law School.  We consulted with each other and helped with referals and support.  I moved to another location when my practice grew, then a former fellow student bought a building and wanted me to be his tenant.  During my early years I practiced in Contract Law, Torts (Personal Injury), Real Estate, Criminal and Family Law.  A few years later I focused on Real Estate and Probate, but I still assisted clients in other areas that were affected by their needs.. Recently I moved to Austin where I have been representing real estate developers, entrepreneaurs and investors.  I supply funds for their ventures that I form and help businesses and individuals with their real estate and investment needs.  Although I still practice in several areas of law, generally I advise those who need my experience and knowledge in most areas of law as a consultant or drafter of legal agreements.

After more than two decades as an attorney, most of them serving as Assistant General Counsel at a large Texas non-profit association, I decided to open my own firm so that I could provide very affordable assistance to small businesses and non-profits. I specialize in basic corporate and business issues, human resource support and non-profit law.. I'm passionate about creating contracts in Plain English that clearly reflect the deal at hand. I've helped clients understand how to successfully navigate contracts on their own so that they are less intimidated by basic contracts and more self-sufficient when it comes to protecting their business.. As an accredited human resources professional (PHR), I'm able to fully support businesses with HR administrative issues. My passion for clear, concise language extends to employee handbooks and policies.. As a trainer, I specialize in:. - contract interpretation. - management issues, including diversity issues. - fiduciary responsibility training for board members and key executive staff

After law school, I founded a computer OEM/White Box manufacturing company in Austin, Texas which I ran successfully for 8 years.  During that time, I really learned what it takes to operate a business, which is why my clients are so happy with my bills.  Well, not really happy, but they appreciate all the work I do to keep their costs down - one case my firm was involved in which settled last year, my client spent less than one-half of what the opposing side spent on attorneys' fees - the secret - we don't nickle and dime and automate a lot of the practice, passing the savings on to our clients.  Of course, litigation is still expensive and to be avoided unless absolutely necessary.. We also help people injured in Texas - all of Texas.  I'm very passionate about helping the injured, many of whom are in serious financial difficulty because of someone else's carelessness, sometimes even lacking health insurance.  Unfortantely, "tort reform" in Texas has made it even harder for hard-working, honest people to have their day in court - and frankly, it pisses me off.  I also get steamed when insurance companies make low ball offers to my clients.  We work hard for all our clients, but we don't take on every case.. We do provide free information on our website for auto accident injuries and a legal blog with information about what's going on in tort (harm) law.  You can get free resources without having to speak to a lawyer - just go to the website or call 1-888-HURT-007.. Cheers,. Andrew

After growing up in Victoria, Texas, I left for college among the big-city lights at St. Edwards University, eventually transferring and graduating from Texas A&M University in College Station. After college, I interned with State Representative Tan Parker, but before too long I was back in school–this time South Texas College of Law in Houston.. At STCL I served as an Editor on Currents, the school’s international trade law journal, where I published an article on the landmark European copyright law ruling UsedSoft v. Oracle. I took advantage of the Frank Evans Mediation Clinic, mediating landlord-tenant disputes, and earning my certification as a mediator while still in school. Before graduating I also worked as a research assistant for a favorite professor, reviewing European civil codes for an art law (who knew there was such a thing?) article he wrote on the so-called “Getty” bronze.. Upon gaining my state bar license, I spent about three years working for (primarily) family law firms in Denton and Pearland, picking up valuable experience in probate, estate planning, real property, and general litigation along the way. I’ve appeared before judges in counties with populations in the millions, advocating against one-size-fits-all custody orders; and before judges in counties with a single family law judge, arguing for a fair shake before courts that sometimes saw the same people repeatedly, where familiarity breeds contempt.. In my free time, I enjoy hunting, writing fiction, and exploring this beautiful city with my even more beautiful wife and young daughter.

29 years of practice is a long time.  Many things change but one does not; respect, the right to fight, and the right to an attorney who will fight for you.  I have seen my share of the innocent accused, pre-judged by those who seem to believe that the police (or they) never make mistakes.  My job is to expose them.  Everyone deserves a helping hand now and then.
