About The Law Office of Carl Knickerbocker, P.C. · Georgetown
The Law Office of Carl Knickerbocker, P.C. is a Central Texas trial-law firm founded by attorney Carl Raymond Knickerbocker and based in Georgetown, Texas. The firm focuses on two core practice areas — high-conflict family law (divorce, custody, modifications, enforcement) and personal injury (car, truck, and DWI-related accidents; wrongful death). Knickerbocker has been licensed in Texas since 2009, has been recognized as a Super Lawyers Rising Star, and holds an Avvo 10.0 'Superb' rating. He also runs the @unapologeticparenting platform and has authored multiple books used by parents, therapists, and attorneys across the country.
Founded and led by managing partner Carl Raymond Knickerbocker, The Law Office of Carl Knickerbocker, P.C. operates as a solo firm serving Williamson County and the wider Central Texas region from its main office at 1801 Williams Drive in Georgetown, with additional offices in Round Rock (appointments only) and Temple. Carl grew up in the area (Georgetown High School, undergraduate work at Lubbock Christian University, 2001; later Texas Tech University, 2005) and earned his J.D. from Texas Tech University School of Law in 2008, receiving his Texas law license on May 1, 2009. Since launching the firm in 2012 he has built a practice around two complementary strengths: aggressive representation in high-conflict family-law cases (including those involving narcissistic exes, parental alienation, contested custody, divorce, property division, and order enforcement), and plaintiff-side personal-injury representation for victims of car, truck, and DWI-related accidents, including wrongful death. Personal-injury cases are accepted on contingency, while family-law matters are billed at $495/hr against a refundable retainer starting at $7,500, with paralegal services at $225/hr. Beyond the courtroom, Carl created the @unapologeticparenting Instagram platform and authored best-selling books — including The Parallel Parenting Solution, Family Court Solutions, and Alienation & Estrangement Solutions — used by parents, therapists, and attorneys nationwide. The firm has helped more than 1,000 Central Texas families and offers coaching and case-strategy consulting to attorneys and parents across the country.
