R. Blair Carroll
I’m Blair Carroll, and for over two decades I’ve stood beside people facing some of life’s most stressful moments. Whether it’s a divorce, a custody fight, or a criminal charge, my role is to steady the storm: take the weight off your shoulders, lay out a clear plan, and fight for the best possible outcome.
I began my career in Dallas working under nationally recognized DWI attorney Mimi Coffey, managing a heavy caseload dedicated exclusively to defending clients accused of DWI. In 2007, I moved to Austin, where I expanded into broader criminal defense across Central Texas, representing people in cases ranging from drug possession to murder. Over time, my own custody battle shifted my perspective and pulled me toward family law. Having lived through it myself, I know what’s at stake for parents, and I use that experience to connect with clients and advocate for them with both empathy and resolve.
My approach is straightforward: build strong relationships with prosecutors, judges, and opposing counsel so I can negotiate effectively, but be ready to flip the switch and fight aggressively when it matters most. I earned my undergraduate degree from Texas Tech University and my law degree from St. Mary’s School of Law. Along the way, I’ve been honored to be named a Super Lawyer for five consecutive years and selected as a Fellow of the Texas Bar Foundation. Beyond the courtroom, I’m a husband, a proud dad, and a lifelong Texan. At the end of the day, awards and accolades don’t matter as much as this: clients walking into my office overwhelmed, and walking out knowing they have someone in their corner who won’t back down.
"Blair and his team handled my case with expedient professionalism and care. After reviewing my case Blair explained how the process works and that a full dismissal would be the aim. In a few short months, Mr. Carroll and his team not only had my case dismissed but rejected by the district attorney's office altogether. I'm grateful for the work that Mr. Carroll and his team put in on my case to secure the most favorable outcome. Now, I can put the matter behind me and move forward with my life."
