About the Law Office of Ben Carrasco: Austin Family Law & Divorce Lawyer

The Law Office of Ben Carrasco: Austin Family Law & Divorce Lawyer is an Austin family law firm built for complex disputes where the outcome can have a lasting impact on a client’s family, finances, and future. Founding Attorney Ben Carrasco brings 18 years of legal experience, a strong litigation background, and a straightforward approach to every case he handles.

Ben’s credentials set him apart in a crowded legal field. After earning his undergraduate degree from the University of California, Berkeley, he graduated from Stanford Law School and began his career handling complex commercial litigation at large law firms. Today, he is Board Certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization—a distinction that reflects his substantial experience and demonstrated expertise in the field. 

Ben’s background gives clients more than an impressive résumé: it brings the analytical precision, strategic preparation, and courtroom experience needed when a family law dispute becomes particularly difficult or contentious.

Straight Answers and a Tough Approach

At the Law Office of Ben Carrasco: Austin Family Law & Divorce Lawyer, we believe that clients deserve an honest assessment of their situation, not sugarcoated advice or empty promises. We provide realistic guidance about the strengths, weaknesses, risks, and potential outcomes of a case, even when that means saying something a client may not want to hear.

That candor does not mean taking a passive approach to difficult disputes. We’re prepared to be aggressive when the circumstances demand it and to push hard for the outcome our clients are seeking. We are also selective about the cases we accept, allowing us to give each matter the preparation, responsiveness, and attention it deserves. 

Clients can expect prompt communication and straightforward, transparent billing throughout the attorney-client relationship.

Prepared to Negotiate. Ready for Court.

A courtroom battle is not automatically a better option. Litigation can be expensive, exhausting, and unpredictable, particularly when parents will need to continue working together long after a custody dispute ends. When a favorable resolution can be reached through negotiation or mediation, we will pursue it.

At the same time, reaching the right settlement often depends on being prepared for the alternative. Ben has significant courtroom and jury trial experience, and we handle contested cases with litigation in mind from the beginning. If an agreement cannot be reached and trial becomes necessary, we’ll be prepared to make that transition with a well-developed strategy and a clear understanding of what’s at stake.

Ben Carrasco is one of the best attorneys in Central Texas. He's honest, ethical and resolved a complex case for me, with a winning outcome. He responds very quick (which is unusual for attorneys). He doesn't leave any issue hanging, at times he sent replies at 11pm (I don't think he ever sleeps). He brilliantly litigated in a court hearing…

Divorce is never easy, and mine was particularly nasty. I can unequivocally say that hiring Ben was the best decision I made throughout the process. Ben is an extremely intelligent, honest, and efficient attorney. He takes the time to explain everything, and his response time to emails and phone calls is absolutely stellar. I don't want to set expectations high-…

Ben is a beacon of light during an uncertain time. I found Ben after my previous attorney was not working the case as one would anticipate and leaving emails unanswered for weeks. My ex had me served with modification papers a few months after starting a new job and I knew the reduction in child support was not warranted. I…

It’s rare to find a family attorney with the work ethic, dedication, and integrity that Ben brings to the table.

I cannot recommend my attorney Ben highly enough. From the very beginning, he was reliable, transparent, and consistently on point.

Finding Mr. Carrasco was the best thing that ever happened to me. I originally hired a law firm that was just draining my funds but not moving my case just letting it drag out.

If you are a father fighting for your rights, you need someone who is not just skilled but relentless -- and that's exactly what I found in Ben.

In the courtroom Ben was more prepared than my husband’s lawyer and his arguments were more strategic and effective. Being my first (and hopefully only) divorce I had no idea what I was doing.

I hired Ben based on his reviews. All I can say is he met all my expectation and didn’t disappoint. I needed someone who could go head on with the person who had destroyed me mentally and emotionally. I didn’t have much fight in me. I knew he would not let me go down without a fight. My ex took…
