About Us

Back in 1882, two talented trial lawyers saw potential in the booming frontier town of Fort Worth and founded what is now Cantey Hanger, LLP - a law firm whose history is woven into that of Texas itself. In the century that followed, Cantey Hanger steadily built upon its foundation of legal excellence and grew to include offices in Dallas, Austin and Waxahachie, Texas.

Cantey Hanger is proud of its community roots and Texas values, and its clients appreciate these qualities. The firm’s clients include individuals, family-owned businesses, energy powerhouses, government entities, non-profit organizations, and Fortune 500 companies, and its attorneys offer a wide range of specialties, including estate planning, construction law, business and commercial litigation, family law, health care, real estate and business transactions, and labor and employment. The breadth of its practice areas makes Cantey Hanger one of the only full-service law firms in Ellis County.

The Waxahachie office is anchored by attorneys who live and work in their Ellis County communities and who have a pulse on local government, industry, and businesses, as well as the county’s rapid growth. This results in lawyers who are uniquely positioned to offer quality, sophisticated legal services with a homegrown perspective.
