DEBORAH HENSLEY LOEWE
On the practice of law…“This is not a game for the light-hearted. You must be willing to take a case before a jury – the other side needs to know you’re prepared to defend your client’s rights against aggressive trial tactics and let a jury of peers decide who’s right and wrong.” — Deborah Hensley Loewe
Deborah was born in Houston, Texas and raised in South Texas and San Antonio. Since 1987, she has lived in Austin and graduated from the University of Texas in 1991 with a degree in psychology. Following graduation from the University of Texas, Deborah enrolled in St. Mary’s Law School, San Antonio. While pursuing her law degree, Deborah served as a summer clerk for State Supreme Court Justice Jack Hightower, for the Texas Civil Rights Project under Jim Harrington, and in the Office of the Attorney General for the State of Texas. It was in this season that Deborah discovered a natural passion for the law and finished in the top quarter of the class. Following graduation from law school and admission to the State Bar of Texas in 1995, Mrs. Hensley Loewe put her talents to work with a trial consultant on civil litigation and an Attorney Ad-Litem representing children in court proceedings for child abuse.
In 1996, she joined her father advocating for clients’ rights. Today Deborah practices law because she desires to make a difference in her clients’ lives. She accomplishes this by handling complex car accidents, and all types of personal injury cases. Her track record of successful jury verdicts and just settlements speaks highly of her dedication to her clients.
Deborah Hensley Loewe has continued to build her practice by taking on cases with complex evidentiary and legal issues. While assessing the unique strengths of each case is important, Hensley Loewe believes that the client is at the center of each argument: “The value of a client as a person is what makes a case.” With this simple approach in hand, she has developed a renowned skill for building cases and making successful arguments before juries.
In 2020, Deborah Hensley Loewe graduated from the National Keenan Trial Institute with over 150 hours of continuing legal education and hands-on trial workshops and clinics. This education shaped the trajectory of her career to aggressively pursue justice and full and fair compensation for her clients.
Deborah’s passion for wanting to make a difference can also be seen in her community service. Deborah was recognized by the Austin Bar Association for her service on the Wildfire Legal Response Team for the Central Texas Wildfires (Bastrop County, 2011). She has participated in educational events and has given her time to Volunteer Legal Services of Central Texas. A swimmer, cyclist, karate 2nd-degree black belt, triathlete, and certified scuba diver, Deborah enjoys sports and puts her energy to work supporting and volunteering for local youth swimming programs. She also enjoys working with PAWS of Central Texas fostering animals to get them ready for adoption.
