About Robert
Robert Tsai: Board-Certified Family Law Attorney in Houston, Texas
I am a native Texan, born and raised in Dallas, Texas. I grew up in North Dallas and attended schools in Plano, Texas. After a brief stint at UT Austin, I transferred to Purdue University, where I received my B.S. in economics. I then pursued my legal education by attending law school at Baylor Law School in Waco, Texas and graduated in February 2014. I passed the bar in May 2014.
Early Career
- I started my law career in Houston, Texas at a boutique litigation defense firm. There, I was fortunate to first-chair a jury trial, take and defend depositions, and handle all aspects of a litigation docket for this first year and a half of practice.
Family Law Transition
- In 2016, I switched from civil litigation to family law litigation at a medium-sized law firm. My experience there included managing my own docket of family law cases and first-chairing numerous trials, hearings, and a jury trial.
Board Certification and Professional Milestones
- I was able to sit for the board certification exam in family law and later passed that exam. I am board-certified in family law as of December 2020 by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.
- I am married to my beautiful wife, Julia, and we have a lovely daughter, Lucy, and son, Bode. In our free time, we like to frequent Houston's parks and try new restaurants around town. I also try to stay active in sport leagues like basketball, softball, and sand volleyball.
