Rob Frazer: Board Certified, a Credential Held by Fewer Than 3% of Texas Attorneys

Goranson Bain Ausley’s own materials state the specific number: fewer than 3% of Texas attorneys hold Family Law board certification. Rob Frazer, a partner in the firm’s Austin office, holds it — and pairs it with a trial background that predates his exclusive focus on family law, giving him genuine courtroom depth to escalate a case decisively when settlement isn’t achievable.

Origin and Background

Rob Frazer has more than 17 years of legal experience and is board certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. He is a partner in the Austin office of Goranson Bain Ausley — which the firm’s own materials describe as Texas’s largest family law firm, with more than 40 years of history and 31 attorneys board certified in Family Law statewide, including two double board certified in Family Law and Appellate Law. Frazer has been continuously listed in The Best Lawyers in America for Family Law since 2019, recognized in Best Lawyers for Family Law Mediation in both 2025 and 2026, selected to Texas Super Lawyers every year from 2021 through 2025, and named to Lawdragon’s 500 Leading Family Lawyers list in both 2025 and 2026. He was named Outstanding Director by the Austin Bar Association for the 2021–2022 Bar Year, a peer-recognized leadership honor.

Practice Concentration

Frazer’s practice centers on high-asset, complex-property divorce for what the firm describes as “educated, and savvy individuals who want to protect what they have built over a lifetime.” His specific work includes engaging valuation experts to characterize and value businesses and equity interests within a marital estate, tracing and characterizing separate versus community property (including investment accounts and real estate), complex custody and conservatorship arrangements, and post-decree modification and enforcement. Goranson Bain Ausley’s Austin office holds Tier 1 rankings for Family Law and Family Law Mediation in the 2026 Best Law Firms edition and has been recognized as the #1 Family Law Firm in Austin by Texas Lawyer in 2026.

Notable Work / Track Record

As is standard for family law practices, the firm does not publish a comprehensive verdict table, since Texas family court outcomes are individualized and case records are frequently restricted from public access. Awesome Attorneys is disclosing that gap rather than substituting marketing language for it. What is independently verifiable is a sustained, multi-year peer-recognition record: continuous Best Lawyers inclusion since 2019, five consecutive years of Super Lawyers selection, and back-to-back Lawdragon 500 rankings — a specific pattern of ongoing, current peer validation rather than a single early-career credential.

Client Voice

Awesome Attorneys did not identify a large independent consumer review sample specific to Frazer individually distinct from the firm’s broader review base. Awesome Attorneys is disclosing that directly; Goranson Bain Ausley’s institutional scale and firm-wide credentials (Texas’s largest family law firm, per its own materials) are documented through the peer-nominated awards and rankings described above rather than platform-based consumer reviews specific to this attorney.

Beyond the Courtroom

Frazer’s Outstanding Director recognition from the Austin Bar Association reflects peer-nominated leadership contribution to the local legal community’s governance and operations, distinct from individual case work or marketing-driven awards.

Recognition for This Austin Family Law Attorney

Peer-reviewed and third-party credentials: board certification in Family Law from the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, a credential the firm notes is held by fewer than 3% of Texas attorneys; continuous Best Lawyers in America recognition for Family Law since 2019 and for Family Law Mediation (2025–2026); five consecutive years of Texas Super Lawyers selection (2021–2025); and back-to-back Lawdragon 500 Leading Family Lawyers rankings (2025–2026). This is among the more comprehensively peer-verified, currently-active credential profiles Awesome Attorneys has documented among Austin family law attorneys.

Texas Legal Backdrop

Business valuation in high-asset divorce — a core focus of Frazer’s practice — requires distinguishing a business’s divisible “enterprise goodwill” from the owner-spouse’s non-divisible “personal goodwill” under Texas community property law, a technical distinction that frequently determines how much of a business’s value is actually subject to division. Executive compensation and equity interests, another asset type common in Frazer’s client base, require specific tracing to determine what portion vested or was earned during the marriage versus before or after, which is often central to a “just and right” property division under Texas Family Code § 7.001. None of this is legal advice; a specific complex-asset divorce should be evaluated by a licensed Texas attorney based on the actual assets and timing involved.

Awesome Attorneys Assessment

Frazer’s clearest, most specific differentiator is a rare board certification (held by fewer than 3% of Texas attorneys) combined with sustained, currently-active peer recognition across multiple independent rating organizations (Best Lawyers, Super Lawyers, Lawdragon) and a pre-family-law trial background that supports genuine litigation depth when settlement isn’t achievable. The honest observation Awesome Attorneys makes is that this is an institutional, large-firm practice — Goranson Bain Ausley’s own positioning is built around scale and depth of specialization across dozens of board-certified attorneys statewide — which suits a client who values that institutional breadth, though a client seeking a smaller, single-attorney boutique relationship may prefer a different firm structure in this directory. For a genuinely complex, high-asset divorce involving business interests or significant executive compensation, Frazer’s specific combination of rare certification and sustained peer recognition is a strong basis for a shortlist.
