Better Divorce Austin is the consumer-facing brand of Trusler Legal PLLC. The practice is designed to pursue resolution while maintaining the ability to litigate when necessary. Each matter follows four guiding phases: Clarify, Chart the Path, Resolve, and Forward.
A resolution-focused practice must also be prepared for court. Cristi is Board Certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, a credential that reflects substantial experience infamily-law litigation. The firm has handled cases in Travis, Williamson, and Hays counties for more than two decades. Preparation for trial begins at the first meeting and continues throughout the matter.
Court may be necessary when the facts demand it—for example, in matters involving family violence, safety concerns, undisclosed assets, or emergencies that require immediate action. Litigation may also become necessary when the other party will not engage in a reasonable resolution process. When that happens, the preparation used to pursue settlement becomes the foundation for presenting the case in court.
In court, the approach is strategic, focused, and measured—not aggressive for its own sake. Family-law matters are addressed through a well-developed record, disciplined examination of witnesses, and professional credibility built through years of practice before the courts. The focus remains on the facts, the law, and the client's objectives.
