Sean founded Bukowski Law Firm in 2010 for a specific kind of client: Texas commercial real estate owners and operators who need more than reactive advice. After nearly a decade at Vinson & Elkins in New York and Houston and then serving as General Counsel for a commercial property owner and management company, he’d seen the gap: deals were either over‑lawyered by people who didn’t understand the business, or under‑protected until it was too late.

Since launching the firm, Sean has helped clients structure, negotiate, and protect hundreds of millions of dollars in transactions across Texas, from acquisitions and dispositions to complex title clean‑up and high‑stakes disputes. His bias is always the same: protect the downside so entrepreneurs can move boldly on the upside.

Because he’s been both big‑firm litigator and in‑house counsel, Sean understands how investors, lenders, and regulators think, and how decisions play out for operators on the ground. That’s why clients call him before they sign, not just when they’re sued. He prefers to design deals, anticipate risk, and solve problems early.

Austin has been home since 2010, and Sean is all‑in on its future. He’s a vocal advocate for dense, urban neighborhoods and practical solutions to Central Texas’ housing affordability challenges. He personally writes the firm’s weekly blog and hosts the “Greater Texas” podcast, interviewing the people shaping the region’s real estate market.

Sean is a graduate of the University of Michigan and Vanderbilt Law School, a supporter of Austin’s arts community through his board roles with the Austin Creative Alliance, and Habitat for Humanity. He is a lifelong, rabid fan of the Michigan Wolverines and Detroit sports.

Approachable, candid, and relentless for your results. When Texas business is riding on the outcome, Sean’s the partner you want in the trenches.

Carl cut his teeth in some of the toughest property markets in the country, supervising title curative work for complex commercial clients outside Detroit while attending Western Michigan’s Thomas M. Cooley Law School. That early experience in clearing hard problems out of the chain of title still shapes how he practices today.

After law school, Carl and his wife headed to Seattle, where he briefly practiced family law, before the pull of home, and real estate, brought them back to Texas. He returned as a municipal attorney, working primarily in commercial real estate, eminent domain, and employment law. In 2021, he joined Bukowski Law Firm to focus on what he does best: getting commercial deals closed on the best possible terms and backing that up with litigation support when needed.

At the firm, Carl protects his clients’ commercial investments by running point on transactions for investors, operators, and business owners statewide. He’s known for his eye for risk, his clear, proactive communication, and his ability to make sure every dollar at the table is protected, whether the issue is a title snag, a zoning wrinkle, or a lender concern that could slow a closing.

Carl grew up on a ranch in southeastern Oklahoma, raising everything from cattle and pigs to lambs and even emus. That background shows up in his work ethic and his ease with clients whose assets are tied to the land. Outside the office, he and his wife spend as much time as possible hunting, fishing, and getting outdoors, and Carl is an avid reader with a particular love for Texas history.

Steady, practical, and tenacious, Carl is the one you want handling the details when a “simple” deal starts to look complicated.

Casey spent nearly 15 years as a litigator at the Texas Department of Insurance, where he handled hundreds of cases and became the go‑to “fixer” on the hardest matters. There, he built deep expertise in insurance disputes, with a special focus on title insurance and fiduciary issues, experience he now uses to protect clients at Bukowski Law Firm when real estate, insurance, and trust law all collide.

At the firm, Casey represents clients in civil disputes involving real estate, trusts, first‑party insurance coverage, and commercial contracts. He’s known for spotting fraud and risk others miss, and for turning dense legal and regulatory issues into clear business choices. When a case is complicated, high‑stakes, or stalled, he’s the one who quietly unwinds the knot.

Casey also understands how projects actually get built in Texas cities. He has hands‑on experience with construction and the permit process, including opposition from zoning committees and neighborhood associations. When development meets political or neighborhood resistance, Casey helps clients navigate those front‑end battles so projects can move forward.

Before earning his law degree from the University of Texas, Casey represented the bicycle community in Austin and Washington, D.C. as membership director of the Texas Bicycle Coalition (now BikeTexas). He remains a strong advocate for bicycle infrastructure as a way to strengthen communities and make streets safer.

Casey has lived in Austin since 1998, with brief stints in New York City and Nanjing, China. Outside the office, he’s most often on a bike or running along Austin’s linear parks, or at music and arts events with his family. He’s a proud supporter of Conspirare and the Blanton Museum of Art.

Calm under pressure, relentless in the details, and focused on outcomes. If it’s complex and nobody else can quite figure it out, Casey is your first call.

For more than three decades, Steve has been the behind‑the‑scenes operator owners call when their business stops behaving like a business. He started his career as a business attorney, then moved into entrepreneurship and senior leadership roles, where he saw the same pattern over and over: strong products and smart founders held back by unclear strategy, messy operations, and numbers nobody fully trusted.

Today, as a fractional CEO, Steve steps into that gap. He helps companies sharpen their strategy, clean up their finances, and install simple, practical operating systems that everyone can follow. His work ranges from untangling confusing P&Ls and rebuilding budgets, to leading strategic planning, tightening execution, and preparing owners for high‑stakes transactions they can’t afford to get wrong. The throughline is always the same: turn chaos into a clear, profitable plan.

Steve’s edge is the mix of legal training and real‑world business experience. He understands how deals are structured, how risk shows up in contracts, and how those decisions play out in day‑to‑day operations and cash flow. Owners rely on him to ask the hard questions, surface blind spots, and then put a realistic plan in place that their teams can actually run.

Steve holds a Bachelor of Science in Finance from the University of Colorado and a Juris Doctor from Pepperdine University School of Law. He lives in Denver, Colorado.

If you want clean numbers, clear priorities, and a team rowing in the same direction, that’s Steve’s wheelhouse.

For more than 25 years, Sasha has been the quiet force behind high‑performing leaders in some of the most tightly regulated environments in the country. She’s supported C‑suites, executive boards, and senior leadership teams in aerospace, healthcare, and higher education at organizations like NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope program, Abbott, Kaiser Permanente, McKesson, Stanford, Austin Community College, and the University of California’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

At Bukowski Law Firm, Sasha builds the backbone that lets attorneys stay locked in on clients. She streamlines workflows, tightens reporting, and turns scattered tasks into smooth, repeatable systems so nothing important falls through the cracks. Whether it’s coordinating cross‑functional projects, organizing information for leadership, or quietly redesigning a broken process, she’s focused on one thing: making the firm run cleaner, faster, and more predictably.

Sasha holds both a Master of Arts and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Houston, along with an Associate of Science in Biomedical Sciences. She brings a thoughtful, structured, people‑centered approach to law firm operations: grounded in professionalism, discretion, and results‑driven execution.

If it touches how the firm runs day to day, Sasha already has it mapped, measured, and moving.

Ronald brings a rare mix of science, engineering, and project discipline to the table. With a BSc (Hons) in Environmental Science, a Postgraduate Certificate in Project Management, and ongoing studies in Mining Engineering, he's built his career at the intersection of technical rigor and real‑world execution. His lens is simple: smart projects shouldn't force a choice between performance and environmental responsibility. 

That multidisciplinary background lets Ronald see the full picture from ground conditions and regulatory realities to timelines, budgets, and long‑term impact. He's comfortable translating complex technical detail into clear decisions and building plans that actually work in the field, not just on paper. The result is practical, forward‑thinking solutions that respect both the resource and the environment around it. 

Outside of work, Ronald is usually outdoors or in motion. He's a long‑distance runner, a committed nature‑lover, and a keen photographer. These pursuits mirror his professional approach: disciplined, observant, and always focused on the long game. 

Steve has been Bukowski Law Firm’s Chief Morale Officer since 2013. His job description is simple: police stress, spread smiles, and keep the office grounded. Most days that means strategic naps in high‑traffic areas, long stares until someone takes a break to scratch his ears, and timely walk‑by visits when the tension starts to climb.

He’s not motivated by billable hours or bonuses: just treats, belly rubs, breakfast tacos, and the satisfaction of a rodent‑free office. Steve is convinced his efforts measurably improve firm culture, and the team would agree.

A diehard Michigan sports fan, Steve proudly wears his Wolverines collar on game days and dreams of one day seeing the Big House in Ann Arbor. Until then, he cheers from afar, keeps spirits high, and reminds everyone that even in high‑stakes law, a good dog and a quick laugh go a long way.

Keeps spirits high, stress low, and everyone grounded. Don’t be surprised, you’re going to like Steve.
