Serving Individuals, Farmers and Ranchers, Businesses, and Financial Institutions
What We Do For Individuals
Estate Planning & Probate
We offer estate planning packages for individuals and married couples. We design and implement customized estate plans to provide for the orderly passing of assets to beneficiaries according to the client’s wishes, protect clients if they become incapacitated, and protect minor children and persons with special needs. Estate planning packages may include wills, powers of attorney, medical powers of attorney, directives to physicians, HIPAA releases, declarations of guardian for the person and minor children, revocable trusts, supplemental needs trusts, Lady Bird deeds, transfer on death deeds, beneficiary designations for non-probate assets, family limited partnerships, buy-sell agreements, stock purchase agreements, cash incentive plans, assignments of stock and interests, deferred compensation plans, and other estate planning documents as needed.
Real Estate
Buying, selling, or leasing real estate can be complicated and lack of legal representation can result in serious real estate problems lasting many years. Too often we have been involved in situations where proper legal representation at the beginning of a real estate transaction could have prevented costly legal headaches. We represent buyers and sellers of residential, investment, and farm and ranch real estate. Our real estate practice group includes attorneys board certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.
Oil & Gas
Dispute Resolution and Litigation
Like real estate in general, oil & gas matters can be complicated, and lack of legal representation can have serious financial repercussions. We represent landowners regarding leasing minerals, pipeline easements, condemnation, lease enforcement, and protection of their surface real estate. We also prepare and review mineral title opinions. The head of our oil & gas practice group is board certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization in oil, gas, and mineral law.
Our focus is helping you achieve your goals and eliminate obstacles to your success. Everyone encounters challenges and disputes. We know that the real cost of dispute resolution is not just the economic losses but also your loss of time and distraction to your life. We are effective problem-solvers who are committed to working side-by-side with our clients to craft constructive, effective, and cost-efficient solutions both outside and inside the courtroom. When a decision in the courtroom is the most effective venue for getting results, we have the experience, knowledge, skill, and determination to deliver. Our dispute resolution and litigation team is headed by a senior board-certified civil trial law specialist with extensive experience throughout Texas and the United States in state and federal trial and appellate courts, arbitrations, and mediations.
