Practice
Seven areas of focus.
Estate Planning
Wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and the planning documents that protect your family and your wishes.
Probate
Administration of estates through the Texas probate courts, handled with care for grieving families.
Business Planning
Succession planning, entity structuring, and the strategies that carry a business to the next generation.
Taxation
Civil federal tax matters and tax-efficient estate and gift planning.
Business Law
Formation, governance, and the everyday legal needs of closely-held companies.
Civil & Commercial
Commercial matters and civil disputes, advised with the same custom approach.
Family Law
Family matters handled with discretion and a focus on lasting resolution.

The Approach
Custom, by hand.
We do not believe in template estate plans. Each client receives a custom product, tailored to their personal and business needs, drafted by an attorney who has taken the time to understand the whole picture, the family, the assets, the business, and the wishes behind them.
That is what a boutique firm is for. Fewer clients, deeper relationships, and the kind of plan that holds up when it is needed most.
