Hired Attorney 2019Very unorganized and unprofessional. Does not listen or write things down. Appearance in court was awful. She did not recognize her client in the court room.

Hired Attorney 2019-2020She doesn't stand up for your rights. She let's her friendship with other lawyers affect her ability to defend you. During court doesn't push the judge to do the right things. Communication from her office to you is next to none . You ask her to set up court dates she doesn't do it .for the amount that she was given for my case I should have been divorced twice. They went through a lot of money for nothing.

Attorney Information
Overview
I started my career at the University of Texas-Austin graduating in 1994 with a Bachelors of Science in Advertising. I then worked in the advertising industry for five years before going to law school in 1999 and graduating in 2002 with my Juris Doctorate from St. Mary's University in San Antonio, Texas. I moved to New Braunfels in 1998, with the father of my children, Ben Jones, where I experienced one of many floods that would happen in New Braunfels, losing our home 3 months after we moved here and then again in the 2002 flood (while I was studying for the Bar Exam). We ended up divorcing when our children were in middle school, but had a great co-parenting relationship until we lost him unexpectedly in 2025.
My grandfather, who was a U.S. Army Colonel and fought in WWII, instilled in me early that being a lawyer, allows you to "Fight for people who can't fight for themselves." Through my career, I have worked and completed more than 100 jury trials, the majority in felony court, and 8 Family Law cases involving divorce, modification of custody, or termination of parental rights. Eight trials may not seem like a big number, unless you know that in the entire State, less than 1% of custody trials go to a jury.
I married my husband Charlie Motz V in 2018, and he currently serves as the Elected Constable for Comal County Precinct 1, and has been in law enforcement almost 30 years. He is currently attending Texas A&M pursuing a Master Degree in Public Administration.
Over my career, we have expanded our services from criminal and family law, to probate and estate planning. I have developed an amazing team of associates and support staff so that we can truly be a full service law firm. I was proud to purchase the firm's final home at 175 Comal St. in 2024 and look forward to working with your family to help you through any challenges you face.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
