Attorney Channa Borman

The truth is a powerful tool.

It’s the first step toward accountability, but too often we don’t want to hear it.

The truth is that staying in an unhealthy marriage isn’t good for anyone.

I saw this with my parents’ marriage, and I’ve seen it with my clients.

But I’ve also seen, time and time again, how people turn their lives around after they leave that unhealthy marriage.

That’s why I’ve cultivated a unique approach to family law. I don’t beat around the bush, and I don’t give up when the going gets tough.

And armed with that truth, I help my clients change their lives for the better.

I was born and raised in Cibolo, outside of San Antonio. The community I grew up in were honest folks who valued family over everything. I learned how important family is from an early age.

But I also saw how painful it could be when a married couple wasn’t right for each other.

During my first year of law school at Texas Tech University, I planned to make use of my English degree as an appellate lawyer.

But in my second year, I took a marital property class. The professor painted a picture of a fascinating area of law. Every divorce was a puzzle to solve: finding assets, engineering a solution, and fiercely defending your clients’ future in court, if necessary.

I thought to myself, screw appellate court. This is what I want to do!

After graduating cum laude, I moved to Bryan/College Station and worked at several local family law firms. I built a reputation as a lawyer who could be both a compassionate counselor, and a fierce advocate.

But I knew that I wanted more than the firms I was working for. Like so many of the clients that I represented, I decided to strike out on my own and build something for myself.

So in 2002, I founded C.E. Borman & Associates.

As a family lawyer, my job can be a delicate balancing act. I forge strong relationships with my clients – that’s just who I am. But I also have to be impartial enough to see the bigger picture.

As a family lawyer, my job can be a delicate balancing act. I forge strong relationships with my clients – that’s just who I am. But I also have to be impartial enough to see the bigger picture.

Sometimes I need to help my client see things from their spouse’s point of view. It’s about matching up both sides’ emotional journeys so they can get where they need to and develop an agreement that works for everyone.

Other times, I have to fight tooth and nail to win my client’s financial freedom, or rescue their kids from a bad situation.

If you hire me to be a shark, I’ll be a shark – but the cases where I see the biggest transformation are the ones that prioritize communication, cooperation, and the best interest of the children.

Every case is different, but they all require at least one thing from me: straight talk and honest advice.

That’s why adopted the slogan in 2013 and had it trademarked in 2022. I wanted to dedicate my practice to approaching family law in a way that prioritizes honesty and communication.

At the end of the day, I’m a truth-teller. And the truth is that YOU have the ability to change your life. And I’m here to help you.
