Haley Burnside

Licensed by the State Bar of Texas in 2016, Haley Burnside began her career at the Houston firm Fullenweider Wilhite, where she practiced exclusively for the first 9 years of her career. There, she trained alongside some of the most respected attorneys in the field such as Donn Fullenweider and Randall Wilhite, gaining not only meaningful litigation and negotiation experience, but also a strong foundation in client-centered, ethical advocacy.

In 2025, Haley launched Burnside Family Law to build a practice that reflects her values: clarity, efficiency, and transparency. She tells clients the truth, even when it’s hard, so they can make smart, strategic choices in the moments that matter most. She’s as comfortable negotiating a creative resolution as she is taking a case to trial and is known for distilling complex issues into practical advice. She’s represented clients from every walk of life, entrepreneurs, engineers, lawyers, professors, stay-at-home parents, and working professionals, each with their own priorities and challenges. She knows that no two families look the same, and no two solutions should either. She understands that family law is about more than legal outcomes, it’s about helping people protect what matters and move forward with dignity and direction.

Outside of her practice, Haley enjoys time with her husband, their young daughter, and a lively crew of animals. She’s a firm believer in good food, unfiltered honesty, and keeping perspective through life’s toughest moments.
