She then pursued her law degree at St. Mary's School of Law and was sworn into her law career in a private ceremony held by Judge Lee Yeakel, District Court Judge of the Western District of Texas, in 2006. She has worked in the real estate industry in Austin for the last 20 years. She and her husband, Michael Clawson, enjoy traveling and adding to their passport stamp collection as much as their busy schedule will allow.

Kim S.

Legal Assistant

Kim is a seventh-generation Texan who has lived in the Austin area for almost 60 years. The days of Burnet Road Drive-In movies, sitting in the knot-hole section at Memorial Stadium to watch the National Champion Longhorns, and going to AquaFest every August are long gone but Austin will always be a small town to her and is the only home Kim has known. She graduated from St. Edward's University and taught history at public middle schools for 31 years. A few years before she became eligible for retirement, Kim decided to start a second career and went back to college for her advanced paralegal certification. Attorneys taught all the courses, and this led to her being hired by one of her teachers, a real property attorney.  


The joys in her life include her three sons and two grandchildren as well as her dogs and cat. Reading, being beach-side, friends, cold drinks and corny jokes are among what Kim views as living the good life. Throwing happiness around like confetti is her goal for each day.
