What's Happening?
Kim Manglberger and Stephanie Thomson have opened a new law firm in Bandera, Texas, marking their first venture into private practice. The firm, located at 606 Highway 16 South, offers a range of legal
services, including criminal and civil law, family law, and probate and estate planning. Both Manglberger and Thomson are recent graduates of St. Mary’s Law School and have prior experience in law enforcement and civil litigation, respectively. Manglberger, a former deputy sheriff, is also running for Bandera County judge. The firm aims to integrate smoothly with local and state agencies to better serve the community.
Why It's Important?
The establishment of Manglberger and Thomson's law firm is significant for the Bandera community as it provides residents with access to a broad spectrum of legal services under one roof. This development is particularly beneficial for a small community where legal resources may be limited. The firm's focus on collaboration with local agencies like CPS and the Sheriff's Department could enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of legal processes in the area. Additionally, Manglberger's candidacy for county judge could influence local governance and legal proceedings.
What's Next?
Manglberger and Thomson plan to expand their practice by hiring a third attorney and moving into a larger office space. This growth strategy indicates their commitment to establishing a long-term presence in Bandera. As Manglberger pursues a role as county judge, her dual responsibilities could impact the firm's operations and community engagement. The firm's success may also encourage other legal professionals to consider similar ventures in smaller communities.
