If you are perusing my profile, chances are life is difficult for you now. I’ve been there and understand the challenges when staring down significant life-altering decisions. My best, non-legal, advice is that this, too, shall pass. In the meantime, my team and I are here to help. A little about me: I am a native Texan, raised in League City, Texas. My daughter is a third-generation Clear Creek ISD graduate so our roots here are strong. I married early in life, divorced and raised our daughter as a single mom. Professionally, I chose law school, beginning my first day of classes the same day my daughter started kindergarten. We really were on an adventure together! I attended South Texas College of Law, graduating in 2005, after winning the Intramural Mock Trial Tournament. I fell in love with the practice of law, trying cases, and the idea of helping people. After graduation, I opened my own law firm, the Law Office of Maisie A. Barringer, where my focus was CPS, ad litem and amicus attorney cases, helping children and parents through the arduous, painful process of foster care. I also handled private cases involving divorce, custody, modifications but most of my time was spent on the CPS docket. In 2013, my team and I joined Jenkins & Kamin, LLP wherein cases were larger, more complex and highly contentious. Although not that different from the CPS docket, the legal issues and factual scenarios presented allowed me to hone my litigation and practice management skills in ways unavailable to me as a solo practitioner. However, in 2022, I began to miss the autonomy and simplification of case management. I wanted to help clients but in a smaller firm without the complication of large-scale practice management. In summary, less is more. My team and I have re-opened my office, the Law Office of Maisie A. Barringer, to allow us the freedom to assist clients in a hands-on, user-friendly and efficient manner that helps keep litigation costs down for our clients.
