LAKEWAY — HIGH-VALUE ASSETS, TRAVIS COUNTY COURTS
Lakeway is in Travis County, so criminal and family law cases go to Austin's Travis County courts. However, Lakeway's affluent demographic creates legal issues that differ from central Austin — high-asset divorces involving significant real estate portfolios, investment accounts, and business interests; RR-620 and SH-71 accident claims; and DWI defense for professionals seeking to protect their careers and licenses.
RR-620 and SH-71 are Lakeway's most dangerous roads. RR-620, which runs along the Lake Travis shoreline and connects Lakeway to Austin, sees high-speed accidents and frequent crashes near the Bee Cave Road and Lakeway intersections. SH-71 — the Bee Cave Road — carries significant traffic between Austin and Lakeway with dangerous conditions near the Pedernales Falls area.
