Emily J. Ogden

“When families’ lives are disrupted, I work to keep relationships and finances intact.”

Empathy and understanding come first.

I am passionate about families and chose family law to help protect clients’ well-being as we work together to find a personalized solution for their situation. I understand that divorce and other family law matters are not simply a transaction, but a significant life transition, and I offer practical and sound advice to help guide clients through this time to a hopeful future. Communication is one of my strengths; I listen first, learn what is important to clients, and then discuss solutions. Advocacy is another of my skills and I am ready to support clients in and outside the courtroom. Clients can be confident that I am there for them at every stage of the process.

Here’s How:

• Explain the law and simplify what is complex, so clients can feel more at ease and in control.

• Develop a trustworthy relationship with clients to help them understand the family law process and possible courses of action so they can make sound decisions for the long term.

• Advocate for clients and present their cases confidently.

Experience and Professional Credentials

Emily initiated her legal career at Goranson Bain Ausley as a law clerk during law school, where she gained familiarity with the firm’s strong ethics and team collegiality. Before attending law school, Emily worked as a paralegal in family law, which provided her with a solid foundation in the intricacies of family law practice. A graduate of the University of Texas School of Law, Emily further deepened her understanding of family law issues.

Client Reviews

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience with Emily Ogden and her team at GBA. From the very beginning, Emily approached my divorce case with a rare combination of compassion and strength. She truly listened to me, made me feel heard and supported, and never lost sight of what mattered most to me. She was a powerful advocate—firm when she needed to be and always thoroughly prepared. Her attention to detail and her unwavering professionalism gave me a sense of confidence and calm during one of the most difficult times in my life. She worked tirelessly and never lost focus, and thanks to her dedication and expertise, we achieved the outcome I had hoped for. If you’re looking for a family law attorney who genuinely cares, fights hard, and delivers results, I wholeheartedly recommend Emily. – J. Rodriguez

I had the pleasure of working with Ms. Emily Ogden as part of a divorce for a friend of mine. When she called me to get information about what I knew, she was so calm and relaxed, which gave me the same feeling when sharing information. It was like we were having just a chill conversation. Furthermore, she told me that I (along with other witnesses who were going to speak) was great for helping and that it was wonderful that my friend has so many great people around her. That human compassion goes a very long way. Thank you, GBA, for having such a great person on your team. – Jake R.

Interests

Away from her practice, Emily’s interests include yoga and the outdoors, enjoying the flavors of TexMex with family and friends, reading, and travel. She continues to stay involved with the advocacy program at Texas Law by coaching students in mock trial.
