The kind of divorce
you can actually
tell your kids about.
A small Austin firm built around a stubborn, unfashionable belief: that no family situation has ever improved at the courthouse. So we don't take you there unless we have to. Cristi Trusler founded the firm in 2001, is Double Board Certified in Family Law and Child Welfare Law, and has practiced collaborative divorce in Texas since 2002. For the rare cases that do require a trial, we are court-capable.
"No family situation ever improved at the courthouse.
So we don't take you there unless we have to."
