Erin M. Bogdanowicz

Managing Partner

Erin is Board Certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, a certification that less than 1% of the attorneys in Texas hold. Erin Bogdanowicz has dedicated 100% of her practice to helping families going through a family related legal dispute. Erin is also a member of the Texas Academy of Family Law Specialists. Erin handles cases in all areas of domestic and family law, including divorce, child custody, child support, premarital and post marital agreements, grandparents’ rights, restraining and protection orders, adoptions, collaborative law, and modifications. Erin is also a certified family law mediator.

Ms. Bogdanowicz earned her law degree from Southern Methodist University’s Dedman School of Law. While there, she graduated with the honor of Order of Barristers, which is only awarded to 10 law school graduates from each institution each year. She was also on the Dean’s List, was the Managing Editor of the Science and Technology Law Review, sat on the Board of Advocates as its interscholastic director and was an active participant in the school’s mock trial program. Prior to law school, Ms. Bogdanowicz graduated summa cum laude from St. Edward’s University with an undergraduate degree in political science.

Erin is married and has two little girls of her own, so she truly understands the importance of family and what it takes to protect it. She spends her free time traveling with her family and trying various adventurous activities with friends.
