When it comes to estate planning and probate, the right attorney makes all the difference. With over 21 years of legal experience—including over 14 years specifically in Texas estate planning and probate—I bring a level of knowledge and insight that goes beyond standard legal services.
Unmatched Legal Expertise
- Dual Doctorates in Law: A rare achievement that demonstrates the highest level of legal scholarship and analytical ability. This means I don’t just practice law—I understand its deepest foundations.
- Three LLMs (Master of Laws): Advanced legal training in:
- Intellectual Property Law: Protects creative works and innovations, crucial for clients with valuable intellectual assets.
- Business Law: Essential for business owners planning the transfer of their enterprises or navigating complex business assets.
- U.S., Dutch, European, and International Law: Enables seamless handling of cross-border estate issues and complex probate matters involving multiple jurisdictions.
- Texas Bar Foundation Fellow: This prestigious designation is awarded to less than one-third of 1% of Texas attorneys and recognizes commitment to the profession, dedication to improving the justice system, and a strong record of pro bono and community service. Being a Fellow reflects a dedication not only to legal excellence but also to ethical integrity and community service.
