Shelly Troberman

Founding Attorney

I built my career on one simple belief: every person deserves an attorney who truly cares.When you’re facing a family law, criminal case or CPS investigation, you don’t need legal jargon or empty promises, you need someone who will see you, hear you, and fight for you when it feels like no one else will.

As a mother of four, I understand the fears and emotions that come with protecting your family. That perspective guides every decision I make in the courtroom and beyond. Whether it’s divorce, custody, or child protection, I approach each case with the balance of compassion and strength it deserves because when your children and future are on the line, nothing matters more.

In CPS and medical kidnapping cases, I fight as if my own children were at stake. I work closely with trusted medical experts to challenge weak or biased claims and I’ve never lost one of these cases.

My career began as a prosecutor in Travis County, where I learned how to build and win under pressure. In 2012, Blair Carroll and I founded Carroll Troberman on values we both live by: compassion, honesty, and relentless advocacy.

I’ve been honored as a Texas Super Lawyer and recipient of numerous professional awards, but the recognition that means the most comes from clients who say I was the first person who ever truly stood up for them. That’s why I do this work…and why I’ll never back down when your family’s future is at stake.

“Shelly and her team made us feel like our case was top priority from the moment we contacted them. We always felt informed and well represented throughout the entire process. Shelly took the time to listen to us and made herself available for all questions and concerns. She is extremely familiar with the system and an expert in her industry. I would highly recommend Shelly and wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again in the future.”
