About Marcos
Biography
I provide discreet, high-touch legal counsel tailored exclusively for high-net-worth individuals, ultra-affluent families, and accomplished business owners. As Managing Member, my focus is on delivering white-glove service in sophisticated estate planning, strategic asset protection, and business succession.
I guide clients through the complexities of wealth preservation, trust and estate administration, and multi-generational planning. Every solution I craft is thoughtfully designed to minimize tax liability, shield assets from potential risks, and ensure seamless continuity across generations and business ventures.
Before founding Pinnacle Legal, I honed my expertise at premier national law firms and a global consulting firm, advising high-net-worth individuals, business owners, and fiduciaries on advanced estate and tax planning strategies. My experience spans structuring complex trusts, navigating business transitions, and advising family offices on asset protection and philanthropic planning. With a strong foundation in legal training and hands-on experience, I bring both technical acumen and practical insight to every client relationship.
I was also elected as President of the Estate Planning Council of Arkansas, a role that allows professionals across the state to connect and stay at the forefront of delivering comprehensive, tax-efficient estate planning solutions for our clients.
Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my wife and our six children. Whether I’m coaching youth sports, playing games with the family, or exploring new destinations on our vacations, these moments keep me grounded and inspire the work I do for families planning their own legacies.

Wonderful!
I reside in Ohio but I had a need to find a probate attorney in Texas due to my ex-husband passing from this earth without a will.
