I came to Attorney Gary Austin’s family law office after my previous attorney fell ill in the middle of a highly contested divorce. The other side was misrepresenting things and dragging the case out, and I felt drained financially and emotionally.

Mr. Austin stepped in with genuine concern and sharp strategy. He focused on the agreement we had already reached and skillfully convinced the court to accept it, even when there were delays and objections. His staff kept clear communication with me about next steps, even when the court made mistakes, and together they made sure I was never left in the dark.

It was truly a team effort, and thanks to their persistence my long divorce finally came to an end. Attorney Gary Austin combines skill, foresight, and a human touch—he and his team really aim to get the best results for their clients.

If you’re facing a tough divorce, I highly recommend Attorney Gary Austin and his office.

I came to Attorney Austin with questions about a very contentious child custody and child support case in Riverside County. My ex tried to mislead the court about his income, lack of car insurance, and has ongoing mental health issues that created serious safety concerns. From the start, Attorney Austin was clear, thorough, and laid out a step-by-step plan to protect my children from the other parent’s concern and volatile behavior.

I also needed help with issues of alcohol abuse, child endangerment, and unsafe parenting decisions. Attorney Austin didn’t just listen—he explained in detail the legal steps we could take in Riverside County family court to seek intervention and keep my children safe. His ability to combine strong legal knowledge with compassion and practical guidance gave me confidence and peace of mind in a very stressful situation.

If you are to wait until things get worse, having an experienced lawyer who truly prioritizes your children’s safety and well-being makes all the difference.

Looking for help from a trusted Riverside County family law attorney for custody or support, I strongly recommend Attorney Austin.

I went through a very tough child custody move-away case in Riverside County and felt completely lost after my previous attorneys gave up on me. That’s when I found Mr. Austin.
He stepped in when I was overwhelmed and helped me fight for my children. There was a court evaluator saying the kids should stay behind, and I felt like everything was against me. But Mr. Austin took the time to understand my situation, helped me prepare for trial, and made sure my voice was heard. He knew exactly what needed to be done and never made me feel like just another case.
If you’re in Temecula or Riverside and need someone to truly fight for your family and your future, I highly recommend Mr. Austin. He helped me when I felt hopeless—and I’m so grateful I had him on my side

I reached out to Attorney Austin during a very difficult time, facing some challenging child custody and support issues in a San Bernardino family law case. I wasn’t sure where to turn, but he immediately provided clear, direct, and practical guidance.
He helped me understand what steps to take in court and gave me honest advice—something that’s hard to find when emotions are high and the stakes are even higher.
More than anything, I appreciate how he addressed the issues that were keeping me up at night and helped me focus on what truly matters: doing what’s best for our children and our family.
If you're overwhelmed and don’t know where to start, especially with custody or support matters, Attorney Austin is someone you want on your side.

Attorney Austin is professional, high attention to details and active listener . We had an hour long consultation and he ensured my questions were answered with appropriate responses - no Fluff or a desire to tell me what I wanted to hear . I would call him the “quiet storm” . He know the law and is a highly ethical attorney, who understands the give and takes of a divorce . You have to give and a $1,000 fight for a $25.00 blender is crazy ! He would be a trusted partner is a life changing moment .

I came to Mr. Austin during one of the most stressful times in my life — a move-away case where my ex kept going back and forth about letting our child relocate with me out of California. I felt stuck and unsure how to move forward.

Mr. Austin was calm, patient, and direct. He answered all my questions and helped me focus on what really matters — my child’s well-being and how to navigate the process in a smart, steady way. He gave me options, explained the legal steps, and helped me prepare in case we end up in court.
For the first time in a while, I feel like I have a plan — and the confidence to follow it.

If you’re facing something similar, I recommend reaching out to Attorney Gary Austin. He gave me clarity when I needed it most, and that kind of help is hard to come by.

Mr. Austin, again I thank you.
