Because he wanted to move to his family’s ranch in Karnes County, Richard Butler left his San Antonio-based firm in 2010 with plans to ranch and practice law on the side.

“I no sooner opened an office than I got overwhelmed with work. I brought in my son, Clinton Butler, to practice with me, and the two of us couldn’t keep up, so we rejoined my old law firm, Langley & Banack,” in 2012, Butler says.
