Law Firm Overview

After sixteen years in Houston, Tom Carnes has relocated his civil litigation and mediation practice from Houston to the Texas Hill Country. So, what does this mean for you -- a prospective client? It means that wherever you are in the Hill Country, and whether your dispute is a family or a business matter, you have an advocate who will deliver litigation services on a par with the most highly regarded firms in Texas -- right here in the Texas Hill Country.

Combined with the litigation abilities of a skilled trial lawyer, Tom delivers client service on a level that is, unfortunately, not common among lawyers and law firms. Phone calls are returned in hours, not days. Management of all legal matters is handled with absolute transparency to the client.

In the end, we believe that if you engage Tom on your legal matter you will be glad that you did. But, as an initial issue why should you entrust Tom Carnes, the new lawyer in the Hill Country area, with your legal matter? That is a pivotal question, and one that this website is designed to address. But, admittedly, no website in a substitute for face-to-face interaction. So we invite you to come by the office. Talk with Tom over a cup of coffee; then decide.
