Services and Areas of Practice

The geographic area in which I practice is limited to Harris County, Texas, although under certain circumstances, I will take cases in Fort Bend and Brazoria Counties.

In addition, the services I provide are limited to providing advice, assistance and representation in certain areas or fields of law (in alphabetical order):

• Business organizations: Forming and operating small business organizations, such as sole proprietorships, partnerships, and corporations (non-public).

• Civil litigation: General civil lawsuits, such as contract disputes, enforcement of deed restrictions, and defense against uninsured claims. I do not handle matters such as class actions, personal injury or malpractice litigation.

• Contracts and business operation: Preparing, reviewing and negotiating contracts for various business purposes and personal matters.

• Family: Family law cases include divorces (with property division, child custody and child support provisions), adoptions (child and adult), modifications of child custody, possession and support, name changes, and emancipation of minors.

• Probate: Probate and related matters, including probating wills, heirship affidavits and proceedings, and guardianship proceedings.

• Real estate: Real estate transactions and issues such as purchase and sale of a home or condominium, strip shopping center, or rural property, and reviewing title and loan documents, deed restrictions and encumbrances.

• Trusts, wills and estate planning: Estate planning for relatively simple estates and estate plans, including preparing wills (which can include trusts for minor children and trusts to take advantage of the unified estate and gift tax deduction), codicils, revocable ("living"), irrevocable and other trust documents, directives to physicians ("living wills"), health care and general powers of attorney, designations of guardians, and insurance beneficiary designations.

• Unlisted matters: Providing legal advice and assistance in certain matters incidental to, similar to or related to those above.

Not Certified By The Texas Board of Legal Specialization in any areas established by that board.

I will be happy to talk with you about any matter you do not find above, and if it's not within the areas of my practice, I may be able to suggest a lawyer for you to call, but I cannot give any recommendations because I cannot control what any other lawyer will do or what you might expect or require in connection with another lawyer's services, both of which, among other things, would greatly affect any recommendation I could give.
