Finding a lawyer in Austin means navigating a market with hundreds of attorneys, most of whom market broadly across practice areas they handle with varying frequency. The person arrested for a first DWI needs a criminal defense attorney who appears regularly in Travis County Court at Law — not a family law practitioner who handled a DWI case five years ago. ATX Attorneys exists to make that specific match.

The challenge with finding a lawyer in Austin isn't a shortage of attorneys — it's knowing which ones actually specialize in your type of case and have a practice focused on the results that matter to Travis County residents. A personal injury attorney who handles 200 auto accident cases a year will know the local insurance adjusters, the judges, and the typical settlement ranges in a way that a generalist attorney handling 20 such cases cannot.

We organize our referral network by practice area and case type. Personal injury attorneys in our network focus on car accidents, truck accidents, premises liability, and medical malpractice. Criminal defense attorneys handle the spectrum from misdemeanor DWI through federal charges. Immigration attorneys navigate family petitions, DACA, asylum, and removal proceedings. Family law attorneys cover divorce, custody, and child support matters in Travis County courts. Estate planning attorneys handle wills, trusts, and probate in the Travis County Statutory Probate Court. Employment law attorneys take on discrimination, wrongful termination, and wage theft cases.

The referral is free. You submit your information, we match you with an attorney in the right practice area, and the attorney contacts you directly. You decide whether to hire them after an initial consultation. No obligation on your end — if the first attorney isn't the right fit, tell us and we'll work on another match.

If your legal need falls outside our current network's coverage, the State Bar of Texas Lawyer Referral Service (texasbar.com) covers all practice areas and all Texas counties. The Travis County Bar Association also maintains a lawyer referral service for local matters. We point you in the right direction regardless of whether we can make the match ourselves.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

The most reliable path to finding a good Austin attorney is a referral from someone who has used them — a friend, family member, or colleague who had the same type of legal issue. When that isn't available, a structured referral service focused on Austin can be the next best option. ATX Attorneys connects Travis County residents with attorneys who practice in the relevant area. The State Bar of Texas also operates a Lawyer Referral Service at texasbar.com. For most cases, the key is finding an attorney who regularly handles that specific type of case — not a generalist.
The referral itself is free. Initial consultation fees vary by practice area and attorney. Personal injury and workers' compensation attorneys typically offer free consultations and work on contingency — they get paid only if you recover. Criminal defense and family law attorneys typically charge a consultation fee (often $100–$250) and then a flat fee or retainer for representation. Estate planning consultations may be free or involve a modest fee. Employment law attorneys often offer free initial consultations for discrimination and wrongful termination cases. The attorneys in our network disclose their fee structure in the initial consultation.
Several resources exist for Austin residents who cannot afford an attorney. Lone Star Legal Aid provides free civil legal assistance to low-income Travis County residents. Texas Legal Services Center handles certain civil matters. The Austin Bar Association's Lawyer Referral Service offers reduced-fee consultations. For criminal matters, if you cannot afford an attorney, the court must appoint one. We encourage anyone who identifies cost as a barrier to explore these resources.
