The Law Office of Krista A. Chacona was founded in 2005 and bourne of Krista's strong desire to take a different approach from other firms in handling cases and clients.  There are thousands of lawyers in central Texas and choosing the right one can be overwhelming. We work hard to distinguish ourselves from the rest of the pack and the most important difference between our firm and the rest is our guiding prinicpal of client-centered representation.  

Firm Philosophy

Our firm's central philosophy of client-centered representation is built upon the concept of putting the focus of each case where it belongs - on the client. It seems like a simple concept, yet most lawyers forget that the client is more important than the case.  The only way to get clients what they want and what they need is by listening to them.

Open client communication is a vital part of every case.  But accessibility is also important and it is essential to good client relations.  At The Law Office of Krista A. Chacona we take great pride in our responsiveness to our clients, with most calls and emails being returned within 24 hours.
