I can’t say enough amazing things about Patricia Dixon and Ryan Doughay! Best family law team in Austin! They’ve represented me and my children for the past few years and have gotten us through some really tough and scary times. I honestly do not know what I would have done without them. They are professional, thorough, compassionate, and go above and beyond in every way. Thank you for changing our lives for the better!

My experience with Gray Becker has been amazing. Patricia Dixon has been my attorney and in just under a month she helped to correct severe deficiencies in my custody case. She and her team respond within minutes or hours to even the most mundane requests. From the moment I walked in the office, I was greeted with an exceptional level of service, and even the receptionist inspires class and confidence.
