Details
Aubrey M. Connatser is known and respected across the state for her expertise in many facets of her family law practice. Her Texas divorce practice includes divorce litigation, complex property settlements, child custody and visitation, asset tracing, paternity determination, pre- and post-marital agreements, divorce decree modifications and collaborative law. She is diligent about settling family law cases, and she is highly experienced in the courtroom.
Aubrey handles cases of all types and sizes at Connatser Family Law, the divorce and family law firm she opened in the Uptown area of Dallas after a dozen years with another large family law firm. She was one of the youngest Dallas family lawyers selected to the Texas Super Lawyers list (Thomson Reuters) in 2004, and she has been chosen for this honor in 2009 through 2011 and in 2013.
She has been chosen for The Best Lawyers in America (Woodward White), the oldest and most prestigious legal review service, from 2011 to 2014. And in 2011, Aubrey was selected one of the Best Lawyers in Dallas by D Magazine.
She was also one of the youngest Texas family law attorneys to become Board Certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization in 2006.
“When I was looking for a lawyer to represent me in my divorce,” says a former client, “time and time again I was told that Aubrey Connatser was the best. So I hired her, and it was one of the smartest decisions I’ve ever made.”
Aubrey’s deep concern for children garnered the attention of the Texas family law community. After serving as an attorney ad litem alongside hundreds of other Texas lawyers for children from the FLDS compound in West Texas, Aubrey was called upon to comment on radio, television and was the subject of a cover story in the Rising Stars Edition of Texas Super Lawyers Magazine about the largest pro bono representation in Texas family law history.
Aubrey is a regular guest on law segments that air on local and national radio and TV. She is equally comfortable helping a Dallas businessman keep his family-owned company intact, working with a stay-at-home mom who wants to keep her children out of the middle of a divorce or any of the other hundreds of family situations that cross her desk at any given time.
The Dallas attorney uses her psychology background whenever possible. She earned her bachelor’s degree with high honors in psychology from The University of Texas at Austin in 1998 and her Juris Doctor with honors from UT School of Law in 2001.
