Personal Introduction

What makes my practice unique is that I don't begin with documents. I begin with real life. I help clients think through how their families, businesses, finances, and relationships actually function, then build legal plans that support those realities. My objective is not simply to create technically sound documents, but to create plans that continue working when life inevitably changes.

Practice Summary

For more than 30 years, I've helped Texas families and business owners prepare for life's transitions through thoughtful estate planning, probate administration, business succession planning, and LLC formation. I believe most estate plans don't fail on paper. They fail in real life. My focus is creating practical plans that work for blended families, parents of young children, retirees, and closely held business owners. I welcome referrals from attorneys seeking experienced Texas counsel for estate planning, probate, and business succession matters.

Personal Interests & Charitable Work

I'm an estate planning attorney by profession and a guitarist by passion. When I'm not helping families and business owners plan for the future, you'll probably find me playing with Bell Monsoon, writing, speaking, or searching for better ways to explain complicated ideas. Whether it's a legal concept or a guitar riff, I enjoy figuring out what makes it work.
