Family Law

Profile

A partner at McCurley Orsinger McCurley Nelson & Downing, Scott Downing is one of the leading Family Law attorneys in the Southwest. He provides extensive experience for clients in divorce proceedings involving high-dollar property and custody disputes. Comfortable in front of judges and juries, Downing also recognizes that not all cases have to go to trial and he has successfully guided many clients through non-adversarial divorce proceedings called collaborative law. Downing is deeply involved in Family Law issues, and serves as Chairman of the District 1A Grievance Committee. His articles have been published by the State Bar of Texas, The Journal of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, and the Texas Academy of Family Law Specialists. His article "Property Puzzles: Characterization, Tracing, 25 Rules and More" earned honors as the Best Family Law CLE article in 2006. Downing has been honored in the Texas Super Lawyers list every year since 2003 when Texas Super Lawyers was first published.
