Benouis Law Ltd, LLP

As a parent, one of the most terrifying, emotionally charged situations I've experienced is finding myself in a child custody lawsuit. To compound that fear, I had no idea of who could or should represent me in the most important battle I may ever face, and it was paralyzing. Catherine was highly recommended to me by a prominent Austin attorney who practices law in another field. There are numerous reasons Catherine is both revered by her peers and ranked as a top Family Law attorney by the clients she has represented. She actively listens to absorb every detail of your case which allows her to identify all of the relevant information, to formulate multiple strategies, and then to analyze each angle to identify the most effective strategy. Catherine seamlessly navigates the nuances which make each case unique, and her execution and implementation is consistently thorough, well thought out, and diplomatic There is a singular, unknown skill set that very few of us are aware to look for when researching attorneys, and it is vital. I learned this from closely observing Catherine's conduct and process during our court hearings, and I only understood the importance when I experienced it firsthand. The attorney you hire needs to possess the instinct and intuition to accurately perceive, discern and react to everything that is not being said by the judge, the opposing council, any witnesses, and all other parties involved. In court, every statement made on behalf of both the Plaintiff and Defendant is intended to serve as evidence to either support or invalidate your argument, and no one is going to voluntarily reveal the cards in their hand. I believe Catherine’s ability to read people well enough to hone in on things that are not being spoken is exceedingly rare as it is not an attribute one can learn in law school, and this is exactly reason she has been able to establish an impeccable track record. When all of these strengths are combined with integrity, you get Catherine. She is a force to be reckoned with, and the only reason I maintain custody of my children. I strongly recommend her to represent anyone in any family law matter you’re facing because she earned my trust and respect.

I highly recommend Benouis Law. Catherine is a skilled attorney who can keep a level head and operate with grace and intelligence even in the most challenging situations. She helped me navigate a protracted divorce with professionalism and compassion, and I am grateful. Her highly capable paralegal Janine is equally supportive and professional—they make a great team. Thank you, Catherine and Janine!

I am so grateful for Benouis Law. Cathy and Janine have been more than helpful. I have been treated with respect and I have felt more like family than a client.

I met Catherine at a community organizing event in 2006. She's intelligent, patient, kind, even tempered, a great strategist and she listens intently. As it happens, I had family legal business to settle and Catherine was the first person I turned to. She has a very practical, no nonsense approach and I knew I would be in good hands for the mediation. Her practice is super efficient and her support staff was responsive, true to their word and a pleasure to work with.
