Why Choose Cofer & Connelly?
Cofer & Connelly is one of those rare firms that comfortably handles a felony charge, a contested custody case, and a serious injury claim under the same roof — and does each at a level recognized by Best Lawyers in America. The team has tried more than 357 jury trials and worked through over 32,000 cases, which means whoever you draw on the team has actually been in front of a Travis County jury before. The Austin Chronicle named them Best Lawyer multiple years running. They're not the cheapest option, but if you're facing a charge that could change your life, the experience is worth it.
Situations They Handle
What You'll Pay
Cofer & Connelly bills criminal defense and family law matters on a flat-fee or hourly basis depending on the complexity of the case. Personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee — you pay nothing unless the firm recovers money for you. Hourly rates for senior partners are reported in the $400 to $650 range based on Austin market data; trial-ready flat fees for misdemeanors typically start in the low four figures.

What Clients Say
“Came to Cofer & Connelly after my first DWI. Geoffrey walked me through every option, fought hard on the breath test, and we got the charge reduced to obstruction. The whole team was kind, fast to respond, and never once made me feel judged.”
“I was scared I would lose primary conservatorship. The firm built a clear, calm case and got me the parenting plan I needed. They explained every Texas Family Code term in plain English. Worth every dollar.”
“Federal charges. Cofer handled it personally, found procedural problems with the search warrant, and got the case dismissed. I would not be where I am without this firm.”
