Based in Dallas, Mr. Downing is the only attorney from North Texas selected to the Trailblazers list, which recognizes lawyers with a “deep passion and perseverance” who have “made their mark” in the areas of Family Law, trusts and estates through their individual practice accomplishments, policy and other professional advancements.

Mr. Downing has a well-earned reputation for being a fierce courtroom advocate for his Family Law clients, particularly when family businesses are involved. He is known for the significant financial acumen he brings to complex high-dollar property and custody cases.

“Learning the intricacies of how a company works, from the viewpoint of both the business owner and the spouse who may be less familiar with operations requires a very specialized skill set,” said firm partner Keith Nelson. “But most importantly, he never allows a dispute over financial matters to take precedence over the well-being of children in divorce proceedings.”

An award-winning author, Mr. Downing often writes on issues involving marital property, drawing on his experience in exploring the nuanced intersection of the law and forensic accounting, and the application to complex business valuations and tracings of separate and community property.
