Law Office of Garrett C. Higley
For a little more personal information on me and an understanding of the union of careers between my law practice, coaching practice, and recovery services please visit the “About Me” tab of this website.
I bring an innovative and creative approach to the practice of family law. Early in my family law career I realized that success in family law litigation requires intellectual curiosity and creativity, attributes I brings to bear in my incisive and thorough representation of each of my clients. When handling complex family law matters, I frequently take a multidisciplinary approach to the practice of family law, partnering with myclients, and when necessary, with mental health professionals, financial advisors, and other industry professionals to ensure successful solutions in my cases. I routinely and successfully handles family law cases that involve substance abuse, children with special needs, parties with mental or physical disabilities, sexual abuse, physical abuse, same sex and transgender issues, and complex marital property analysis.
I was born and raised in Houston, Texas. A sixth generation Texan, I graduated from Texas A&M University with honors and went on to graduate from South Texas College of Law. While in law school I was a member of the nationally acclaimed South Texas College of Law Moot Court Team and a member of South Texas Law Review. After graduating from law school in 2004, passing the bar, and becoming licensed to practice in the same year, I began my career in the areas of toxic torts and white-collar criminal defense. Shortly after moving to Austin, Iturned my focus exclusively to the practice of family law, mypassion, and opened what is now the Law Office of Garrett C. Higley.
While zealous and creative advocacy are hallmark characteristics of my style of litigation, so are integrity and reasonability. A veteran of numerous trials and hearings, I am an adept trial attorney, at home in the courtroom. However, Iunderstand that the financial and emotional reality of protracted litigation and trial can be draining, relying instead on mythorough preparation and skillful negotiation techniques whenever possible to reach outstanding settlement solutions.

While many cases are not contentious from start to finish, almost invariably there are rough periods. Mysupportive, intelligent and personal approach to the practice of family law allows me to guide each individual client across treacherous terrain to the solid ground of resolution.
