Helping Clients Make Good, Sound Decisions
Angelica Rolong Cormier on Your Family and Your Future:
I’m driven to help families navigate difficult journeys, make sound decisions and successfully transition into the next phase of their lives. My clients include millennials, professionals and their spouses, who value a constructive and intelligent approach to family law. I advise clients on a wide range of family law matters, including helping them establish a solid financial footing and take care of their children. My work often involves complicated custody, property, and financial matters. With me, it’s all about family and helping people figure out what’s best for all, now and in the future.
Here’s how:
- Empathize with my client’s situation, understand the challenging dynamics they face, and minimize anxiety about what comes next.
- Educate them about their options, practical topics like effective co-parenting, and communication tools they can use to move forward with confidence.
- Counsel clients about the law, project likely outcomes, and encourage them to make informed decisions based on the facts.
- Invest in my client’s cases, personally and professionally, to secure the best possible outcomes.
Angelica is a family lawyer in the Austin office of Goranson Bain Ausley.
