About Shannon
Biography
I have been practicing for 25 years in the areas of estate planning, probate, wills, trusts, charitable gifts, charitable entities, tax, business entities, real estate and non-profits and am Board Certified in Estate Planning and Probate Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. My focus is on service to clients and developing documents that suit their needs and not making the client's goals fit within forms. My experience allows me to work on the simplest of plans to the most complex.
