Whitney Thompson, Esq.

Personal Introduction

As a licensed Houston estate planning attorney, I have spent most of my career helping and representing individuals with child support, divorce, guardianship, probate, and estate planning challenges. I began this work early on as a law student at Thurgood Marshall School of Law, advocating for residents in the school’s wills, probate, and guardianship clinic. I was the first member of my family to graduate from college and a first-generation woman entrepreneur. I understand how challenging it can feel when you’re climbing a steep mountain toward your goals, but I’m here to tell you that you’ve got this. When you’re in the middle of a legal dispute with your family, it can feel hopeless. Whether you’re facing a divorce, fighting for your children’s custody, or dealing with a disagreement over a will, the situation becomes emotional. Having a compassionate attorney to guide you and protect your rights can help protect you from making costly mistakes. My courtroom experience has taught me the importance of proper planning to avoid costly legal battles down the road. You may be in love, but having a prenuptial agreement is a smart investment. You may be young, but having an estate plan can protect your family from unexpected tax obligations. And when your kids go off to college, if you still want to be involved in their medical decisions, then you’ll need to create a medical power of attorney. Simple steps now can save a great deal of pain and heartache later. Whatever your family situation, no question is too small. I will provide you with direct feedback and an honest assessment. I will work with you and help you debunk myths that may be keeping you from creating a comprehensive estate plan for your assets and for your family.
