Every family’s situation is different.

WHAT'S ACTUALLY AT STAKE

Without a plan, a judge decides — not your family.

One wrong move can create years of hardship for the people you love most. Here’s what’s at risk when you leave things unplanned.

$85,000+

Average annual Texas nursing home cost. Without a plan, your savings are fully exposed.

Guardianship Proceedings

Without documents in place, your family must petition a court to make decisions for you — costing thousands and stripping away your rights.
Probate — 6 Months to Years

In Texas, probate takes a minimum of 6 months, and everything in your name becomes public record — including your finances and assets.
Life Savings Lost to Long-Term Care

Your home, savings, and investment accounts can be depleted by nursing home costs in a matter of years with no plan in place.
Your Private Life Becomes Public

Account balances, property addresses, family member identities — all become accessible through court proceedings without proper planning.

WHY FAMILIES CHOOSE US

Not every estate planning attorney
is an Elder Law attorney.

Elder Law is estate planning on steroids. A general estate planning attorney writes documents — we build a plan that protects your entire life, adapts as laws change, and grows with your family.

Care Plan Membership — Your Plan, Always Current

Texas legislation can change every two years. Our Care Plan membership ensures your estate plan is reviewed and updated after major life events, law changes, or personal milestones — so it works when you need it most.

A Resource Library No Other Firm Offers

Need a realtor, hospice company, memory care community, or insurance specialist? Our curated resource library connects you with trusted professionals across every need — available to our clients anytime.

Geriatric Care Specialists on Your Team

We work hand-in-hand with geriatric care specialists to plan for every stage of aging — from purchasing a home to memory care. Your roadmap is as personal as your life.

5 Locations Serving Greater Houston

With offices in Houston, the Galleria, Katy, Bay City, and Sugar Land, we’re close to home no matter where your family lives. We also offer virtual consultations for your convenience.

We Support Your Whole Family — Not Just You

The pre-planning process isn’t just about you. Your family can reach out to us anytime — even for non-legal challenges. We’ve seen everything, and we’re here to help with all of it.

Flat Fees. No Surprise Bills.

We believe in transparent pricing. Ask us any question you want — now, two years after your plan is done, or when life changes. We won’t send you a surprise invoice for picking up the phone.

"Having a generic estate plan is great — but having one done by an elder law attorney ensures the protection of your assets, yourself, and your loved ones."
