Family law requires a client-first approach because courtroom decisions impact the family membersā€™ day-to-day life. CherylĀ has built her reputation as a client advocate in family law because life-altering events such as a divorce or child custody are difficult to navigate.Ā As one of the few attorneys who handle family law court appeals, Powell achieves definitive outcomes due to her legal experience in managing high conflict civil litigation.

She currently serves as Vice President of the Williamson County Bar Association and a Director with the Round Rock ISD Partners in Education Foundation.Ā
