Background
I’m an eighth-generation Texan. I graduated from Trinity Lutheran School in Klein and Concordia Lutheran High School in Tomball. I also reached the rank of Eagle Scout with Boy Scouts of America Troop 1333.
Before I became a lawyer, I worked as a mechanical engineer for an engineering consulting firm in Houston. I passed the Fundamentals of Engineering Examination and became certified as an Engineer-in-Training by the Texas Board of Professional Engineers.
I received my law degree from Baylor Law School. There, I helped clients with patent, trademark, and copyright matters through the Baylor Law School Intellectual Property Law Clinic, a pro bono legal aid service. I was also the president of Baylor’s chapter of the Christian Legal Society.
Today, I focus my practice on estate planning, probate, intellectual property, business law, and real estate law. I enjoy working directly with clients to help them protect what they’ve built and plan for the future.
Practice Areas
Estate Planning
In Ancient Rome, Julius Caesar left a will that made his grand-nephew, Octavian, his primary beneficiary and helped position him as Caesar’s successor. Octavian went on to establish the Roman Empire and became its first emperor, Caesar Augustus.
Death raises many questions. Probate is a process that seeks to legally answer some of those questions and, when possible, to authenticate a valid will. The law does not allow many assumptions when a person dies, so leaving a will dramatically simplifies the probate process.
Every state handles wills and probate in its own way. We follow Texas law when preparing and probating wills.
