Natalie N. Fowler

"I started my career watching what happens to families after violence. I spend the rest of it trying to keep more families from getting there — and helping the ones who do find their way back."

Natalie Fowler began her legal career as a prosecutor at the Travis County Attorney's Office, where she spent most of her time handling family violence cases. She prosecuted defendants charged with assaulting the people closest to them — spouses, partners, children. She learned early that the law operates at the intersection of families at their most fractured, and that what happens in a courtroom can either deepen that fracture or begin to heal it.

When she left the County Attorney's Office, she expected to open a criminal defense practice. But a few months into child welfare work — representing parents in CPS cases, sitting across from families who had lost their children to a system that moves fast and doesn't always get it right — she changed course. The work of helping families stay together, or rebuild after being torn apart, turned out to be exactly where she wanted to be.

Today, Natalie handles family law and child welfare cases across Williamson, Travis, Bell, and Burnet Counties. She represents parents in DFPS investigations and adversary hearings, families and caregivers seeking to intervene when a child they love is in state custody, and individuals navigating divorce, custody, and the full range of family law matters. In medically contested CPS cases — where a child's removal was triggered by a disputed injury diagnosis — she works with independent medical experts to examine the evidence the state relied on, challenge incomplete differential diagnoses, and present the complete picture to the court.

Her prosecutorial background shapes how she practices. She understands how the state builds cases, what evidence they rely on, and where investigations fall short. She brings that knowledge to every case she handles — whether she's defending a parent against DFPS, advocating for a grandparent's right to raise her grandchildren, or representing a client through a divorce that has upended everything they thought was stable.
