I'm an estate planning attorney in Fort Worth, Texas, and I have been practicing law in North Texas since 1993. I own and manage a multi-state estate planning law firm with offices across the country, home to some of the top will attorneys in the United States. I personally manage our four offices in North Texas, housing an experienced team of trust lawyers and inheritance attorneys. I have been repeatedly named as one of the top estate planning attorneys in Fort Worth by Fort Worth Magazine, and one of the top ten estate planning attorneys in Texas. I have also written a book, "Estate Planning in Texas."
We pride ourselves on our community outreach, providing weekly educational events around North Texas to educate the community on the options that exist when it comes to estate planning - including asset protection trusts, children's trusts, medicaid asset protection, and power of attorney. Our highly-skilled team of revocable living trust lawyers, as well as irrevocable trust attorneys, ensure asset protection while a client is alive, and make things as simple as possible for loved ones when a family member passes away. I also do frequent educational videos that are posted to Facebook and Instagram about common issues involving estate planning. I have a perfect 10 rating on Avvo, as well as a Client Satisfaction rating on Avvo.

We worked with Katie Manchaca and she was great! I did not reply when I first was contacted by email for a review because I did not know this name. The company is very professional.

Ms Thomas and her firm made the estate planning process very simple for me. I had been putting it off for quite some time. I now feel that I have a good plan in place. I appreciate their commitment to be lifelong lawyers who’ll continue to help as circumstances change.
