I am an attorney with more than 25 years experience representing owners of closely held businesses, including ranches, farms and dairies, with respect to business strategic planning and estate planning (including succession planning for family businesses). I received my J.D from The University of Houston Law Center in 1991 and LL.M. in Taxation Law from the University of Denver in 1996. I am Board Certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization in Estate Planning and Probate. My law practice encompasses strategic business planning and the preparation of estate plans for clients with taxable estates, as well as those with non-taxable estates, and the administration of those estates. My expertise also includes advising on the formation and governance of nonprofit organizations.
