John Boone
ASSOCIATE ATTORNEY
John Boone brings empathy and understanding to every aspect of his practice. John understands that each situation deserves a personalized legal approach. He believes strongly exploring alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation, informal negotiations or simply engaging in creative approaches to lessen the possibility of court intervention. While friendly negotiations are encouraged, some legal issues require the Court’s attention. In those situations, you will find John in the courtroom vigorously and passionately defending his clients’ interest.
John recognizes that preparation is a huge factor behind any success, and he works tirelessly to attain the results that render the best positive outcome for his clients. Family law matters are often the most trying and painful experiences that a person may experience. All individuals facing family law challenges deserve an advocate who will listen, assess the situation, provide options, advise on the best legal path and, when needed, fight the necessary fight. John is such an advocate.
John grew up in a small town in southeast Washington state and attended Western Washington University where he earned degrees in journalism and political science. Post-graduation John spent a bit of time traveling then attended law school at the University of Washington in Seattle. After graduating law school, John and his girlfriend decided to move to Austin, in large part to escape the dreary Seattle weather. When he takes off his lawyer hat, John can be found exploring the great outdoors with his two dogs, Beau and Arrow. John is also a history buff and bibliophile (we’ll save you the Google search – he collects books!). As a transplant to the Austin area, he has already fallen in love with the incredibly vibrant Austin community and enjoys supporting local businesses and community events.
FUN FACT: John will do anything to make his fiancé smile, including activities outside his comfort zone! Most recently this included ice skating lessons. John, not the most physically coordinated person at the best of times, was pretty apprehensive about strapping razor blades onto his feet and then sliding around on rock hard ice. But the lessons were a success and John can now move forward and backwards on the ice, more or less under his own control. Just don’t ask him to do any tricks or jumps, that’s an icy leap too far.

What Our Client’s Say About Us
“In an hour, Nikki Maples discerned the danger and gave me the courage and words to address the situation. She listened intently and articulated with enough authority. She saved a 5 year old’s life!”
“Nikki represented me a year ago when I went through my divorce. She was a tremendous asset as she guided me through the complexities of the divorce process with strong commitment and compassion. She truly cared about my family, and worked tirelessly for great results. Today I consider her my friend.”
“I needed last minute attorney in moving out of state with children case. Even it was Christmas holiday time, Mrs. Jones was there for me and gave the best advice. I cannot thank her enough for helping me in one of the most stressful times in my life. She worked in a timely manner and was able to take on my case and got the job done. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“I hired Meagan to represent me in attempting to mediate for my son to attend a highly rated school upon my move to San Antonio. She was very upfront with my options and provided a lot of feedback on how to tackle this issue considering his father was not cooperating. She was a very hands on attorney and always kept me abreast of my case. She was always very encouraging and fought to the very end. She never gave up on me nor my case……”
“I worked with Nikki and Meagan on a custody issue. They were professional, thoughtful and kind. I would recommend them to anyone in need of a good lawyer.”
“A custody situation is no fun, but Meagan was a complete pro. She calmed me down when I was completely stressed out and she helped me come to a good outcome (in a very tough situation).”
“Meagan is an excellent attorney! She is professional and very knowledgeable with legal matters. I appreciate her truthfulness and diligence with solving my legal situation. Thank you Meagan!!”
“I came to Nikki with a very difficult case and in a situation where a prior attorney had mishandled my divorce for months. It was an uphill battle from the beginning and she did not shy away from the challenge. Nikki understood my priorities, and she focused on them throughout my case keeping me engaged and informed at each turn. She managed my expectations and when necessary she managed me.”
Thank you, John! It was great working with you. You communicated clearly and patiently walked me through all the options along the way. Appreciate you!
