Mr. Abeyta limits his current practice to family law.

 

“Over the years,” he says, “My family cases became the most compelling, because those were the cases in which my clients had entrusted me to help them protect their children (the most important parts of their lives), to help them protect their life savings and other assets, and to assist them during some of the most difficult and trying periods in their lives.”

 

Because of this dedication to family law, Mr. Abeyta joined KoonsFuller in 2009, where, he says, he can “draw from the firm’s tremendous resources while enjoying the selectivity of a boutique firm to provide each client with the attention and excellent representation that he or she deserves.”

He is also a former member of the South Plains Trial Lawyers Association, where he served as Vice-President and Secretary/Treasurer.
