17 GBA Attorneys Recognized by Best Lawyers® for Family Law Mediation — Most of Any U.S. Firm
August 25, 2026
Goranson Bain Ausley (GBA) announced that 17 attorneys have been recognized in the 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in America® for Family Law Mediation — more than any other law firm in the United States.
GBA is Top-Listed in the United States and Texas for Family Law Mediation, based on the number of attorneys recognized by Best Lawyers® in the practice area.
Eric A. Robertson also earned 2027 Best Lawyers® “Lawyer of the Year” honors for Family Law Mediation in Austin. This is Robertson’s second “Lawyer of the Year” recognition, following his 2018 Austin Family Law honor.
Goranson Bain Ausley’s Family Law Mediation Experience
Mediation can give clients greater involvement in resolving the financial and parenting issues that will shape their lives after divorce. Effective mediation requires careful preparation, a clear understanding of the legal and financial issues involved, and the ability to evaluate proposed solutions in light of each client’s priorities and long-term interests.
GBA’s mediation attorneys bring experience with complex family law matters involving significant property, closely held businesses, executive compensation, contested custody, mental health and addiction, and other issues that can make resolution more challenging. That experience helps clients understand their options, assess risk, and make informed decisions throughout the mediation process.
“Mediation gives clients an opportunity to resolve difficult issues without leaving every decision to a court. Our role is to make sure clients enter that process prepared—with a clear understanding of their options, the issues that matter most, and the implications of the decisions they are making. The goal is not simply to reach an agreement, but to help clients reach a resolution that protects their interests and positions them well for the future.”

About Family Law Mediation
Mediation is a process in which a neutral mediator helps parties work toward agreement on disputed issues. Each party may be represented by their own attorney, who provides legal advice, helps evaluate proposed terms, and advocates for the client’s interests throughout the process. If the parties reach an agreement, the terms can be incorporated into the final resolution of their case.
