My law practice is dedicated almost entirely to the area of workers' compensation. I represent injured workers and medical providers in the Texas workers' compensation system. I have handled and continue to pursue claims for both injured workers and medical providers through the administrative process and into the District Courts of Texas, if necessary. In order to exhaust administrative remedies and collect outstanding medical bills, I represent medical providers through the Medical Dispute Resolution process and before the State Office of Administrative Hearings.

I also represent people who have been injured as the result of someone else's negligence. These injuries are usually the result of accidents like car wrecks, 18-wheeler accidents, construction incidents, medical malpractice, and on the job injuries not covered by workers' compensation.

Mr. Kollmeier is Board Certified in Family Law.
The Law Office of Gary A. Kollmeier has been dedicated to providing competent and caring legal services in the areas of Family and Probate law since 1991. The firm provides comprehensive, superior, and respectful advocacy in an environment in which the clients receive full attention and loyalty with the highest level of personal legal services. It is our focus to educate our clients about the reality of what to expect in every aspect of their legal case. As a lawyer, Gary Kollmeier is committed to high standards, as evidenced by his certification as a Family Law Specialist by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and his training as a Mediator and Collaborative Lawyer. This extensive experience allows for better service to family law clients who may be going through the difficult and emotional process of separation, divorce, and child-custody determination. The firm also provides probate and estate planning services.

From the consultation forward, it is our mission to help the client conceive, develop and implement a winning strategy geared to achieve the client's goals with the focus on developing creative solutions to each client's complex and unique problems. It is always our priority to advocate for our clients' best interest and the best interest of their family.

Contrary to other family law firms that stress only costly litigation, our focus is on executing a winning strategy built specifically for your case. Our goal is to help you set the stage to "win" your case-and your confidence. Family law cases seldom see a so called "winner" or "loser". By their very nature, family law cases start out with personal crisis or misfortune such as break up, a divorce, or even a death. From that point forward, the parties are trying to pick up the pieces of the crisis and move forward with their lives. Since over 90% of all litigated cases eventually settle, a strategy that incorporates this likelihood is usually the most effective.

Gary Kollmeier understands that the client needs clear communication with straight forward answers and guidance. Knowledge is the first step in making the right decision about what course of action to take in your situation. Whether you need an experienced and knowledgeable family law attorney to represent you and protect your interests in a contested case, or you seek a qualified neutral mediator to solve unresolved outstanding issues related to your family law or probate related to your family law case, we can help. When it comes to divorce, child custody, and any family law or probate related matter, Gary Kollmeier is committed to providing high quality legal client focused representation delivered in a compassionate, professional and ethical manner.

As a legal professional, Gary Kollmeier has been actively involved with the local, county, and state legal communities. He was been elected president of both the Denton County Bar Association and the Family Law Section of the Denton Bar. In addition, Gary has fulfilled all requirements necessary to be a member of the Texas Academy of Family Law Specialists, the Denton County Collaborative Family Law Professionals Practice Group, the Collaborative Law Institute of Texas, the Denton County Real Estate and Probate Section, the Denton County Trial Lawyers Section, The State Bar of Texas, The College of the State Bar of Texas, and other professional affiliations.

Gary has also served as a Alternate Municipal Judge of the City Lewisville Municipal Court since 2000.
