Family Law

Profile

Aubrey Connatser is one of the youngest attorneys to ever make the list of Texas Super Lawyers and has been honored as one of Texas' Best Lawyers by American Lawyer Media.

She is a regular guest on law segments that air on KRLD Radio in Dallas and WBAP Radio in Fort Worth, explaining such diverse topics as unusual prenuptial agreements, international child custody and the marriage tribulations of Tiger Woods.

"Aubrey is so smart and hard working that we all know whatever she takes on will be done right and her clients will love her,” says Managing Partner Ike Vanden Eykel. Her engaging personality was evident in 2008 when she went on radio, television and in statewide publications talking about her pro bono work on behalf of the children taken by the state of Texas from the FLDS compound in West Texas. She served as an ad litem attorney along with hundreds of other Texas lawyers in one of the largest pro bono representations in family law history.

Ms. Connatser was the youngest attorney in Koons Fuller history to make partner as well as one of the youngest Texas lawyers to become Board Certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.

She earned her bachelor’s degree with high honors in psychology from The University of Texas at Austin in 1998 and her juris doctor with honors from The University of Texas School of Law in 2001.
While an undergraduate, she was a member of Phi Beta Kappa and the Liberal Arts Honors Program and was an Endowed Presidential Scholar. In law school, she became a member of the Texas International Law Journal, was active in the University of Texas Domestic Violence Clinic and participated in Moot Court.

Ms. Connatser has chaired the Dallas Association of Young Lawyers committee of Lawyers Against Domestic Violence. She is also active in the Dallas Bar Association, having served as a board member of the DBA Family Law Section as well as co-chair of the Admissions & Membership, Pro Bono and Legal Lines committees.

She is a member of the Family Law Section of the State Bar of Texas, the College of the State Bar of Texas and was also elected a member of the Annette Stewart American Inn of Court. Born on September 29, 1976 in Dallas, Ms. Connatser was the outstanding graduate of the Episcopal School of Dallas in 1994. She and her husband, Adam Connatser (also an attorney), have one child and live in Dallas.
