Goranson Bain Ausley

Goranson Bain Ausley represents the largest and most prestigious family law firm in Texas, offering unparalleled expertise and resources to clients navigating divorce and custody matters. Formed in 2018 through a strategic merger of two of Texas's most respected family law firms—Goranson Bain and Ausley, Algert, Robertson & Flores—the firm brought together some of the state's finest family law attorneys under one roof. Today, Goranson Bain Ausley stands as the premier family law resource in Texas, with offices in Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Granbury, Midland, Plano, and San Antonio.

Goranson Bain Ausley is distinguished by its extraordinary concentration of board-certified family law attorneys. The firm boasts more than 30 Board Certified family law attorneys—an unprecedented number reflecting the firm's commitment to excellence and its ability to attract top talent. Board certification by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization is held by fewer than 1% of Texas attorneys, making the firm's roster of over 30 board-certified specialists truly exceptional. Several of these attorneys also hold board certification in Civil Appellate Law, reflecting expertise in appellate practice for family law matters.

The firm's professional recognition is remarkable. A total of 39 Goranson Bain Ausley attorneys are listed in The Best Lawyers in America, an exclusive recognition reserved for the nation's finest legal practitioners. In 2025, five Goranson Bain Ausley family law attorneys were named to D Magazine's 'Best Lawyers in Dallas' list, an honor that recognizes top attorneys as chosen by their peers. These prestigious designations reflect peer respect, professional accomplishment, and a demonstrated commitment to client service.

Goranson Bain Ausley is known for helping clients find constructive, strategic solutions in divorce, custody, property division, and complex family law matters. Rather than approaching every case with a one-size-fits-all litigation mindset, the firm counsels clients about multiple pathways to resolution and helps them choose approaches appropriate to their unique circumstances and goals.

The firm's practice encompasses the full spectrum of family law matters. The firm handles divorce in all its forms, from uncontested divorces for couples who have reached agreement to contentious divorces requiring strategic litigation. The firm counsels clients through custody arrangements, recognizing that custody decisions are often the most emotionally significant aspects of divorce. The firm handles property division with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring fair distribution of marital assets and liabilities.

The firm's collaborative law services are particularly noteworthy. Collaborative divorce represents an alternative to traditional litigation where both parties commit to resolving disputes outside of court through negotiated agreement. For families committed to reducing adversarial conflict and preserving relationships when possible, collaborative divorce offers a constructive alternative. The firm's team of collaborative-trained attorneys can guide families through this process.

The firm also offers prenuptial agreement services, helping couples clarify expectations and protect interests before marriage. For clients with significant assets or previous marriages, prenuptial agreements can prevent future disputes and provide clear guidance.

Post-divorce modifications are another important service. Life changes after divorce—financial circumstances change, children's needs evolve, and employment situations shift. The firm assists clients seeking modifications to custody, support, or property division arrangements.

The firm's appellate capabilities represent another area of distinction. For clients who believe trial court decisions were erroneous and wish to appeal, the firm offers experienced appellate counsel. The firm's board-certified appellate attorneys can navigate the complex appellate process and present persuasive arguments to appellate courts.

The firm's multi-office presence across Texas allows it to serve clients throughout the state. The Plano office is located at 7160 N Dallas Parkway, Suite 650, Plano, TX 75024, with phone number (972) 843-7158.

For families in Plano, Dallas, and throughout Texas seeking the resources and expertise of Texas's largest family law firm, Goranson Bain Ausley represents the pinnacle of legal representation. The firm's unmatched concentration of over 30 board-certified family law attorneys, its 39 lawyers recognized in The Best Lawyers in America, its multi-office presence, its commitment to finding constructive solutions, and its experience with complex cases at every financial level make it the natural choice for families whose family law matters demand exceptional legal resources. Whether facing a straightforward divorce or a complex high-net-worth case involving business interests, substantial assets, and contested custody, families can be confident that Goranson Bain Ausley brings unparalleled expertise and resources to their representation.
