Deyerle Silva Smith, PLLC

"A highly regarded firm in the Austin Family Law Community. Lianna, Candice, and Kody have created a very high end experience for divorce clients, and I recommend my friends and family at every opportunity. 5/5!"

"Deyerle Silva Smith, my attorney Laura Grumbine, and her team were exceptional throughout the very difficult process of divorce. I felt supported, prepared, and protected during the postnuptial review process, then the agonizing decision to file, during mediations and hearings. Laura consistently validated my experience and also tempered my expectations with what was probable. Laura Grumbine is the most professional person that I’ve ever met. She is as cool as a cucumber before a judge. I’ve never seen her stumble over a word. When representing me, she was always prepared, always conveyed my wishes, and I never felt disappointed by something she did. She was a brilliant and effective negotiator. She had excellent professional relationships with every single party ever involved - the judge, the opposing counsel, my child’s counsel, the mediator, etc. I was always in awe of her and deeply grateful that I somehow had the great fortune to have her as my attorney."

"Candice , and her team Laurie and Christiane are just the people you need in your corner to navigate the choppy waters of a divorce proceeding. Candice is brilliant, shrewd and unflappable. She is very honest in terms of setting achievable goals, and making sure that you hit and surpass them. The team is very efficient, and prompt and always available to answer any questions you might have. I highly recommend this practice."

"Candice Deyerle and Laurie Theriot (her paralegal) were expedient, professional, and responsive. I cannot recommend them enough. They were especially excellent at informing me about my options and what I could expect from the process. You can tell they are extremely experienced. It was such a huge help to have the legal process be so clear and so smooth while I was struggling so much emotionally."

"I’ve worked with Mr. Silva for about two years now due to ongoing and ever-changing unfortunate conflict, and his associate Ms. Lewis for one year. Mr. Silva is the third attorney I’ve worked with. He and Ms. Lewis are the only attorneys I’ve met that put mine and my kids’ needs over their wallets, and they’ve been like that from the beginning. Additionally, he and his firm care about what is best for the children more than any other firm I’ve dealt with. They are honest, know the law better than anyone else, and will not let your emotions rule your decision-making. He and his firm are trustworthy and true advocates for peaceful resolution. Most firms will let you do whatever you want knowing the courts will never rule in your favor due to how Texas Family Code is written and drag out conflict as long as possible to rake in revenue; Mr. Silva and his associates are not that firm. They are the absolute best."
