The Law Office of Mae Rathbone Carter, PLLC is a client focused law firm building relationships and loyalty.

I was born in Houston and raised in Pearland, Texas. I obtained my Bachelor of Arts in History at The Ohio State University in 2013. I was then a Dean’s List student at South Texas College of Law, where I obtained my mediator certificate and juris doctorate in 2016.. In my years of practice, I have gained valuable experience in family law, including divorce, child custody, child support, visitation, community property divisions, prenuptial and post-nuptial agreements, domestic relations orders, protective orders, name changes, enforcements, and modifications. Since family law cases can create tremendous financial and emotional hardships on all parties involved, it is my philosophy to first exhaust all possible efforts to amicably resolve the issues through mediation or dispute resolution before going to trial. Should such dispute resolution efforts be unsuccessful, I am ready, willing, and able to take the matter to trial and fight for my clients.. In addition to family law, I also practice probate law, civil litigation, transactional drafting, estate document drafting, and criminal defense.. I am an avid sports fan and movie buff, and I enjoy spending quality time with my family, friends, and my dog, Brutus, in my spare time.

Laura Richardson was raised in Westchester County, New York, by two corporate attorneys, and attended the University of Virginia School of Law after graduating from Dartmouth.

After realizing she wanted to focus more on helping others, Laura moved to Key West and took a position in the prose aid department of Family Court, helping clients navigate the court system. Although she took a step away from practicing law, she always knew family law was what she wanted to have a career in when she came back.. After five years working as a journlaism in Key West, Laura's path led her to the DFW area as an Associate at Varghese Summersett Family Law Group. Owning and running her own business enabled Laura to hone her communication skills and leverage her sensitivity and compassion when helping clients navigate complex family law disputes.. You can find Laura spending time with her husband and their two dogs when she's not helping clients with cases. She loves to play softball, travel, and read.
