Biography

Robert Tsai, family law attorney serving Houston

Robert Tsai is an attorney based in Houston, TEXAS. The practice focuses on Family Law. Robert has over 12 years of legal experience. Currently practicing at Law Office of Robert Tsai PLLC. Robert works from Houston, Texas and takes on family law matters across the region.

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 attended law school at Baylor Law School in Waco, Texas and graduated in February 2014. I passed the bar in May 2014. I started my law career in Houston, Texas at a boutique litigation defense firm. 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. In 2016, I switched from civil litigation to family law litigation at a medium-sized law firm. My experience at that firm included managing my own docket of family law cases and first-chairing numerous trials, hearings, and a jury trial. Because of that experience, 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. You may sometimes see me running in the Heights or biking along the Heights Hike and Bike trail.
