Our goal is to complete your case through either settlement or trial with as little emotional and financial cost as possible. As an Austin divorce attorney, because we handle only family law matters, we truly understand the complexities and the relationship dynamics involved, particularly when there are children.

We focus on understanding our client’s goals and develop options for a truly customized approach to family law. We provide comprehensive and realistic advice to our clients, and strive to give our clients the best legal assistance possible through:

Supportive and practical representation
Accurate advice on the law
Goal-specific and innovative legal and non-legal options
Sensible strategies
Commitment to negotiation before litigation

As an Austin divorce lawyer, we know that it is typically in the client’s best interest to resolve family law matters outside of the courtroom – and we employ a variety of methods to facilitate this, including negotiation, mediation and collaborative law.

We take pride in the fact that the majority of our client’s cases are resolved out-of-court with satisfactory results. We encourage settlements rather than trials.

We also understand, however, that litigation is often necessary to protect the well-being of our clients and their families. Our experience ensures the effective presentation of each case, and gives our clients the sound legal representation they need to secure their families’ futures. When litigation is warranted, we proceed in a thorough and determined manner.

Whether you’re looking for a collaborative approach to settling your dispute, or require litigation to resolve your matter, Amy Gehm’s experience, compassion and dedication ensure that you have an effective advocate in bringing your family law matters to positive resolutions.

“The divorce process is a very personal, and oftentimes painful, journey. I was extremely fortunate to have had Ms. Amy Gehm as my divorce attorney to guide me through that difficult period of my life. Ms. Gehm is a gifted attorney – she is well-versed in the law, and takes considerable time to do whatever research is needed for each of her individual cases. My case involved a complicated custody dispute that included my need to relocate to another state for employment purposes. Ms. Gehm went well beyond the call of duty to prepare me for every step of my case, and to make sure she had all the evidence she needed to best represent me. She is also very compassionate and completely trustworthy, and was always available with helpful advice. I quickly came to depend upon Amy, and felt confident that she was doing absolutely everything possible to help me and my children. Move cases are very challenging to win. We were successful – and I credit Ms. Gehm for this, and for helping me to find the courage to go through with my case and try and make a better life for myself and my children.

Another mark of a good lawyer is her availability to you after the divorce is over. Ms. Gehm has remained very accessible to me, and I have always felt comfortable contacting her regarding visitation issues and any other legal questions I have had about my divorce decree. She has always responded promptly and with all the information I needed to make decisions. I am so thankful for all of Ms. Gehm’s services, particularly for how gracefully she helped pull me through the entire divorce process and gave me hope that everything would eventually get better. And, she was right! I would strongly recommend Ms. Gehm to anyone who needs legal counsel for a divorce, or who is trying to determine if divorce is the right step for their family.”
