Member Introduction

Kris Algert began practicing family law with Tom Ausley in 1991, became board certified in family law in 1997, and partnered with Tom Ausley in 1998. Having litigated during those years, she saw first-hand the shortcomings and the problems litigation sometimes causes families. When the Collaborative process was introduced to Texas in 2000, Kris became one of the first lawyers trained in the Collaborative Process. Kris now devotes her practice to Collaboraive family law believing that the Collaborative process offers more to families than just legal solutions and gives families an opportunity to minimize the damage that conflict and animosity can cause. She serves as trustee on the board of the Collaborative Law Institute of Texas and will soon take office as President. She also is a board member of Volunteer Legal Services of Central Texas. She has been named a Texas Super Lawyer in Texas Monthly each year since 2005 and has been named a Best Lawyer in America in Collaboraive Family Law and Family Law each year since 2007.
