Law Office of Carol A. Wilson Proudly Sponsors 'ASC Goes Couture' at Neiman Marcus
Once again, the Law Office of Carol A. Wilson co-sponsored Attorneys Serving the Community's ASC Goes Couture event to raise money for our charity's beneficiary. This year's event, on October 7, benefited The Bridge Breast Network, which provides access to diagnostic and treatment services for breast cancer to low income, uninsured, and underinsured individuals.
ASC Goes Couture featured fashion, food, and fun for the ASC members and friends who attended (and I even took the opportunity to do an impromptu stroll down the catwalk, see top middle image).
Huge gratitude to the event co-sponsors: Andrews & Barth, Foster U.S. & Global Immigration Services, Kastl Law P.C., Legility, Neiman Marcus, Lori Bensing of Edelman Financial Engines, Cindy Carradine CPA/CFF, Rebecca & Michael Massiatte, Law Office of Patricia Nolan, and Linda Shirley. Special thanks to event photographer Debbie Pochman.
Remembering Clyde Siebman
Carol’s longtime friend and colleague Clyde M. Siebman passed away on March 4, 2021. Clyde was a name partner in Sherman-based Siebman Forrest Burg & Smith LLP, and one of the best known and respected trial lawyers in the litigation hot zone of the Eastern District of Texas.
Carol’s and Clyde’s decades-long relationship was both personal and professional. Carol joined Clyde’s law firm as Of Counsel in 2020 so that the two accomplished advocates could combine forces when — as often happens — Clyde’s civil litigation matters intersected with Carol’s family law expertise.
“Clyde and I had worked together on several matters over the years, but in 2020, he asked me to formalize the relationship,” Carol says. “We both brought different strengths to the table, and I was more than happy to ‘make it official’ by joining the Siebman firm as Of Counsel.”
The two have been friends since they were law school classmates at SMU and have stayed close over the years, with Carol serving as a bridesmaid at the wedding of he and Carol Mumm, who was Carol Wilson’s 3rd year law school roommate and who is now Judge Carol Siebman. The two families (who, coincidentally, both have daughters named Elizabeth) got together during visits to the Siebman family ranch, attendance at graduations, weddings, and swearing-ins, holiday parties, and many other events.
“A light has gone out with Clyde’s passing and I miss him,” Carol says. “My dear friend Carol, his daughter, Beth, and his family, friends, and colleagues are in my thoughts and prayers.”

The Law Office of Carol A. Wilson is now Of Counsel to Siebman Forrest
Carol A. Wilson officially becomes Of Counsel to Siebman Forrest.
Founder of The Law Office of Carol A. Wilson, Carol has been Board Certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization since 1992. She has tried hundreds of family law cases in bench trials, jury trials, evidentiary court hearings and mediations throughout Texas. Clyde serves as Founding Partner of Siebman Forrest LLP and has been Board Certified in Civil Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization since 1993. He has tried hundreds of civil bench and jury trials in Texas in both state and federal courts.
With a friendship dating back to law school at SMU, Carol and Clyde have enjoyed both a friendship and professional relationship for more than 3 decades. Building on this history,
Carol and Clyde wanted to enhance the quality, experience and capabilities of their respective firms by combining forces to better serve the needs of clients. In effect, a powerful one-two punch can now be leveraged on clients’ behalf to handle matters ranging from civil litigation, intellectual property, community property, marital agreements, divorces and to custody.
One of the best ways to avoid costly trials in family law disputes is to hire experienced trial lawyers. Well-acquainted with the courtroom, Clyde and Carol both are ready, willing and able to try a case, if necessary. However, this fact often encourages opposing parties to reach amicable agreements without the need for a trial, which is certainly the preferred course of resolution in family law disputes.
Clyde and Carol look forward to putting their new professional partnership to work to secure successful outcomes for their clients.
