Meet this month's Spotlight Attorney: Christian Garcia!

What's your favorite part of working at Childers Hewett Slagle?

My favorite part of working at Childers Hewett Slagle PLLC is the culture of excellence without ego.  The work is sophisticated, and the expectations are high, yet collaboration remains genuine and unguarded.  Ideas are tested openly, questions are encouraged, and everyone is focused on getting the answer right for the client.  That environment fosters meaningful growth for young professionals—refining technical skills and professional judgment through high expectations, open dialogue, and a shared commitment to doing the work the right way.

We are proud to be a sponsor of the 2025 Fort Worth Association of Professional Landmen (FWAPL) Annual Clay Shoot! We are excited for a fantastic day of friendly competition, networking, and fun as we help raise money for A Wish With Wings, Frontline Healing Foundation, and the FWAPL Scholarship Program. Our team is looking forward to seeing everyone!

Teeing up for a great cause ⛳️ We're excited to be sponsoring and participating in the Dallas Association of Petroleum Landmen (DAPL) Golf Tournament this year, all to benefit the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children!

What's your favorite part of working at Childers Hewett Slagle?

My answer is equal parts simple and true: the people. I truly believe in the saying “people don’t leave bad jobs, they leave bad leaders,” and luckily the leaders here are pretty dang good. Truthfully, the workplace environment at CHS is as good as it gets.

What's your favorite part of working at Childers Hewett Slagle?

My favorite part of working at CHS is the overall culture and commitment to work-life balance.  We work as a team to get projects done for our clients as quickly and efficiently as possible, but the Partners understand that personal things come up in life that take priority as well.

What's your favorite part of working at Childers Hewett Slagle?

It’s the camaraderie that we all have with each other. There are very few workplaces where people genuinely enjoy working together, but this is one of them.

What's your favorite part of working at Childers Hewett Slagle?

It's a firm full of professional lawyers, but we in no way resemble a stuffy law firm, which is by design. From day one, John, Carly, and I have expended a great deal of energy making sure the office culture is collaborative and supportive and that none of us take ourselves too seriously. We can't change that we are lawyers, but we sure don't have to act like them!

What's your favorite part of working at Childers Hewett Slagle?

As much of a cliché as it might be, the people. A driving motivation for starting our firm was the opportunity to work with great people with who we truly enjoy spending time. Clearly everyone is at their job in order to earn an income, but dealing with the daily stresses and responsibilities of work is made so much easier when you are sharing those days with people you enjoy being with and have mutual respect for both professionally and personally. That does not exist everywhere.

This month’s Spotlight Attorney is our partner Carly Hewett!

What's your favorite part of working at Childers Hewett Slagle?

I love working with this amazing group of people – both those within the firm as well as our clients!
