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.
