Coldwell | Bowes, L.L.P.

Excellent service at a competitive price. I felt like William Lachowsky had my best interest in mind throughout the whole process and did a great job communicating in terms I could understand to make sure I was protected. I've worked with several lawyers in the past, and I know how pricey it can get if communication isn't good and there's a lot of back and forth. William got the job done quickly while being competent and thorough. Highly recommend.

Micah Royer was an incredible support during a very tough time. He was organized, thorough, and consistently professional. Micah's expertise and attention to detail gave me confidence throughout the process. I’m grateful for his guidance and highly recommend him to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate divorce lawyer.

There are moments in life when you find yourself completely overwhelmed, vulnerable, and afraid. That was me—going up against my former partner, a seasoned attorney, in a legal battle I never imagined I’d be in. I didn’t know where to turn, but from the moment I met Katherine and Micah, I felt a sense of hope I hadn’t felt in a long time. They didn’t just take my case—they took on my fight as if it were their own. Katherine is sharp, compassionate, and relentless when it matters most. Micah brings clarity, strategy, and calm to chaos. Together, they are a powerhouse legal team. They believed me, stood up for me, and protected me when I couldn’t do it alone. They were organized, thorough, and fearless. Every tough moment—they were there. They fought for me all the way to the end. And behind the scenes, Kimberley was a true gift. Her empathy, communication, and coordination kept everything moving smoothly. She made me feel like a priority every time I called, emailed, or needed reassurance. This team changed my life. I walked into their office scared and unsure. I walked away empowered, protected, and safe. If you’re facing something that feels impossible—especially against someone who knows the legal system inside and out—this is the team you want by your side. I am forever grateful to Katherine, Micah, and Kimberley. They didn’t just do their jobs—they gave me my life back.

Words will never describe how grateful I am to have Will handle my case. Not once during the whole divorce and custody battle did I ever feel like I was not informed or that he did not share the same goals as I did. He was always available for all my questions, handled everything with tact and professionalism, and was always patient and approachable. Anyone who is going through a divorce or custody battle I will always refer to Will! Thank you so much for everything you have done for me and my family!

Will and Ryan did a great job walking me through different options and they stayed on top of the process and communicated well until it was finalized. I highly recommend them.

Micah Royer was my 3rd lawyer after I fired my prior ones. Mr. Royer hold my hand and advocated ferociously for me and my kids needs against my ex, who is a lawyer himself. The work product Mr. Royer and his paralegal, Kimberly, delivered was outstanding. Between the permanent disability of my son and the complicated estate to divide, Micah & Kim delivered!. Honesty, patience, responsiveness, knowledge, and preparation characterized this team from day one.

I’ll begin by saying that this review does not do justice in relaying how exceptional Micah Royer is. He is the gold standard of family law attorneys in Austin. In searching for the best law firm and counsel to represent me during my highly contested and incredibly challenging divorce, I extensively researched and consulted with numerous attorneys. Through referrals and reviews, it became very clear that Coldwell Bowes is one of the top family law firms in the Austin area and for good reason. It was through reading raving reviews about Micah that I felt he was the man for the job and I could not have made a better choice in selecting him to represent me. Bottom line: Micah changed the trajectory of my life and also my son’s life and I will forever feel indebted to him. Micah is a highly skilled legal expert and an exceptional strategist. His advocacy and dedication to his clients in order to achieve the best possible outcome for them is unparalleled. His extensive experience within family law and his understanding of how the system works shines through as he carefully and meticulously works through your case. Micah has the special gift and talent of not only being a brilliant legal mind in and out of the courtroom but truly embodies sincere empathy and compassion for his clients during the most challenging times of their lives. He is the person you want advocating for you and in your corner whether your case is contested or uncontested and is worth his weight in gold. Additionally, Micah along with Coldwell Bowes have an incredible reputation and are highly respected within the legal community with other law firms and within the court system. My divorce was as challenging as they come with many unexpected twists and turns and we ultimately ended up going to trial. It was a highly emotional process for me but Micah remained laser focused on the big picture and the outcome I desired (and kept me focused as well not to mention handling my anal retentive persona with ease). As other reviewers mentioned, Micah treats his clients as though they are family and upholds the highest standards in communicating throughout the case. In the end, Micah secured the very best possible outcome for me and I know with conviction that this would not have been the case if I had stayed with my previous attorney. _______________________________________________________________ Review for Katherine Obando (she and Micah Royer both represented me) I’ll begin by saying that this review does not do justice in relaying how exceptional Katherine is. In selecting Coldwell Bowes to represent me in my highly contentious divorce, I was gifted the opportunity to work with Katherine throughout my entire case. Her five star reviews don’t lie - she is hands down simply phenomenal in every way. Katherine is smart as a whip and is an exceptionally skilled legal expert. Her advocacy and dedication to her clients in order to achieve the best possible outcome for them is unparalleled. She has a very strong understanding of family law and how to navigate the most difficult of cases, including ones that end up in court and at trial. It was a highly emotional process for me but Katherine remained laser focused on the big picture while also offering compassion and understanding. She upholds the absolute highest standards when it comes to advocating for her clients and in communicating throughout the entire case. She handled my anal retentive persona with total grace and ease and is meticulous in everything she does. Katherine was an integral part of securing the very best possible outcome for me and I am forever grateful and indebted to her for her efforts and unwavering support and guidance during this most difficult time in my life. Bottom line: you want Katherine representing you and in your corner - she’s worth every penny and more!
