MAPLES JONES - Key Persons
Meagan M. Jones has a knack for filtering through the noise and helping her clients reach favorable resolutions during challenging circumstances. Meagan is passionate about not only guiding her clients through the difficult litigation process, but also making sure that they understand each step along the way. Her goal as a practitioner is to assist clients in being stronger, healthier individuals and families on the other side of litigation.
Contrary to the long-standing joke that lawyers aren't good at math, Meagan excels in mathematics and uses her skills to focus on innovative solutions to intricate financial situations, including complex assets and businesses within the marital estate. However, her creative solutions do not end there. Meagan understands that each family is unique and therefore each person deserves their own individual approach and personal attention. Recognizing this, Meagan pursues each matter with veracity and integrity that it deserves.
Meagan grew up near the beach in Los Angeles, Ca. and received her bachelor degree from the University of Southern California (USC). Go Trojans!! After several years of successful entrepreneurship, Meagan decided to follow her passion and attend law school. Ultimately, Meagan pursued law school on an honors scholarship and graduated Magna Cum Laude from Western Michigan University, Cooley Law School. As another example of Meagan's long list of achievements and dedication to the practice of law, she has connected her California roots to those that she has laid in Texas - she is licensed to practice law in both Texas and California.
Meagan lives in South Austin with her husband, Marty, her daughter, Zoe, and her giant beast dogs. In addition to her family and her dogs, Meagan's favorite things include food, travelling, the great outdoors, and live music, making Austin the perfect city.
FUN FACT: Meagan and Nikki's partnership is proof that LinkedIn works. They originally met when Meagan relocated to Austin and was seeking connections with other family law attorneys. A few emails later, and the rest is history.
Nikki G. Maples has been an active member of the family law community in Austin for over two decades. Her practice is exclusively dedicated to family law matters related to divorces and custody disputes. Her hallmark is her ability to take a creative and thoughtful approach when dividing marital assets in cases involving complex property matters such as businesses and high-net worth estates, but her experience is applicable to all family law matters.
Nikki is a passionate practitioner who is dedicated to helping families concerned about life beyond divorce or the result that divorce may have on children. Not every family law matter has to be a heartbreaking event. With that in mind, Nikki pursues divorce cases and all family law matters with creativity, compassion and sincerity, and her credo is rooted in authenticity.
When not with clients, Nikki is a dog lover, a foodie, a sailor, a snowboarder and an athlete who enjoys staying active and spending time with her family and others on the Greenbelt, supporting local businesses, and participating in local events. She is also longstanding member of the Austin Bar Lawyer Wellness program who has authored many monthly articles on issues related to health and wellness. FUN FACT: Nikki is known (and teased) by her friends and family as being prone to unique and odd accidents, many of which result in hospital visits. Go ahead, ask her, she has a book of stories about her accidents, which she describes as "adventures."
