Ben Carrasco is an acclaimed divorce and family lawyer who has been fighting on behalf of real people for over ten years. Distinguished by his sterling pedigree--Berkeley undergrad and Stanford Law School--and outstanding courtroom skills, Mr. Carrasco's practice is devoted to contested divorce and child custody matters. While most of the firm's cases ultimately settle before trial, Mr. Carrasco relishes championing his clients' interests in court, where his passion, preparation, and devotion to winning shine.
Mr. Carrasco represents clients throughout Central Texas and is board certified in family law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, a distinction shared by less than one percent of licensed Texas attorneys. If you have a simple, "uncontested" family law matter--a "kumbaya divorce" if you will--there are other lawyers whose talents are more suited to your needs. But if you need a war time advocate to fight for you in the trenches--and who will bill you ethically and timely respond to your calls to boot--please give us a call.
