Austin Holmes
About
Born and raised in Dallas, Texas, Austin Holmes developed an early interest in the legal field thanks to his father, a respected attorney who practiced for nearly four decades. Watching his father’s dedication to his clients and the impact he made in people’s lives inspired Austin to pursue a path where he could help others through the law.
Before attending law school, Austin gained valuable hands-on experience working at Holmes Diggs, the firm his father founded. That early exposure to the legal world helped shape his practical approach and emphasized the importance of putting clients first—a philosophy he carries with him today.
Austin earned his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of Texas at Dallas and went on to receive his Juris Doctor from the University of North Texas at Dallas College of Law, graduating Magna Cum Laude in 2022.
Now working as a family law attorney, Austin is passionate about guiding clients through some of life’s most personal and challenging moments. He believes in being a steady advocate and a thoughtful listener, always aiming to create solutions that protect his clients’ best interests while keeping their goals front and center.
Outside of work, Austin enjoys spending time with his girlfriend and their dog, Nula, going to the gym, and traveling. He also values time with his family and enjoys trying new restaurants.
