Michelle Fontenot

Firm: Kirker Davis LLP
8310 N Capital of Texas Hwy , Austin , Texas 78731
Practice Areas: Family
Prior to attending law school, I earned a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Texas.  For over fifteen years, I worked as a licensed mental health therapist in schools serving children who qualified for special education due to emotional and behavioral disabilities.  I went to law school knowing that I would be able to use the knowledge I had as a counselor and educational consultant to help children and families.   I attended the evening program at Seattle University School of Law, and continued to work full-time as a mental health specialist for Kent School District.. I am excited to serve children and families who need the assistance of an educational attorney. I really enjoy helping families navigate the complexities of the schools and special education because the results are practical and I get to see children succeed. I worked as a consultant for public schools for many years, so my experience is grounded in an understanding of the culture of schools as well as knowledge about the law. Parents often feel outnumbered and misunderstood. I help my clients who are facing discipline, special education, or other school-related issues and would benefit from legal counsel.. Most recently, I was the program attorney for Family Law CASA of King County. Family Law CASA is a non-profit that provides court-appointed, volunteer guardian ad litem services in low-income family law cases.  The role of the agency is to protect the needs of children in family law disputes.  My role at the agency was to represent both the program and the volunteer assigned to the case in court.  Often during divorce proceedings, the needs of the children are easily diluted in the face of the better articulated needs of their parents.  My job was to ensure that the focus of the case remained on the best interests of those children.  As part of that process, I encouraged parents, even in dire situations, to better see and acknowledge the needs and interests of their children. My experience in court and at family law mediations gives me the practical understanding of how to effectively represent clients in the divorce process.  This experience guides my work with my clients, allowing me to translate the often foreign legal process into understandable steps.  I listen to what my clients say about what they need, and about their fears and concerns.  I work with them to develop a plan to navigate the legal process in order to create a positive outcome for themselves and their families.  My goal is to provide my clients with thorough information and preparation and to help them to feel knowledgeable and empowered, so that the often painful process of moving out of a marriage or partnership is made easier and more successful.

Matthew Grove

Firm: The Eggleston Law Firm
12400 St. Hwy. 71 West , Austin , Texas 78738
Practice Areas: Family
After working in the criminal justice field for more than 25 years, Matt Grove saw how the criminal justice system was negatively impacting families. He found his true calling in family law, which is why he founded The Grove Law Firm, PC. Since then, Matt has worked extensively in general family and child protection (CPS) law. He enjoys helping people and families through difficult, complex and contested family law matters.. Matt believes in fighting for his client’s rights. His firm’s motto is “Results through diligent preparation and aggressive representation.” Unlike some attorneys who seek only to drain their client’s precious, limited wealth, Matt’s primary goal is to achieve his client’s needs. This begins with an honest evaluation of the case. Matt will not simply tell potential clients what they “want” to hear in order to obtain their business. He will discuss all aspects of the case, and help the potential client manage expectations when making the important decision regarding which family law attorney to hire. Matt is found of telling clients that he does not “need” their money in order to run his law firm. Instead, he truly desires to represent them at such a professional level that he earns their future business and referrals. Matt believes that the highest honor possible to bestow upon an attorney is for a client to refer their friends and family members to his office for their legal needs.

My practice is solely dedicated to family law clients, and for over 10 years I have exclusively practiced family law.  That focus has allowed me to develop practical courtroom skills, and familiarity with the judges around Texas.  I handle cases in and around the central Texas area, including the counties of Travis, Williamson, Hays, Bell, New Braunfels, Comal, and Bexar, but I have been known to travel to Houston or Dallas as needed.  I am comfortable in the courtroom and with all aspects of trial including jury trials, mediation, and emergency hearings.  I am client-focused and oriented.  My goal is to find a solution to my client's problems whether in or out of the courtroom.
