Administration and probate, essentially, are what occurs after death. Probate is the process of submitting your will to the probate court, administering your estate, and distributing your property in accordance with your will. We can handle probate when there is a will or without a will.

Everyone should have a will to ensure that your estate passes as intended and your surviving family does not become entangled in disputes over estates that do not have wills.

Honest Attorney

I was referred to him when I asked a friend who they recommended. It just happened that he was number one on the referral list, just by using Google! Then after I read some reviews myself, I made an appointment with him. Gary insisted that I call him by his first name when we met and that made it fee...l very personal from the beginning. He was a great advisor and always looked out for my well being. I give him 10 stars because he was outstanding and professional throughout the entire situation! Highly Recommend and then some! He gets double stars for making me feel like I not only got a fair outcome but I also gained a lifelong adversary! Thank you Gary!

Ethical, Quality Attorney

I am a Denton County attorney and have known Gary for years. I have referred several clients with family law matters to him. The feedback I have received from these clients has been excellent. Gary is extremely knowledgable in family law and tries to practically solve the clients' legal issues as opp...osed to creating more problems for them. He is not an attorney that does unnecessary legal work just to bill the file. He is ethical, sensitive to his clients needs and will help formulate a game plan right for the case and based on the client's goals and interest. Frank Lyle, Springer and Lyle, LLP

Excellent legal service - family law

Gary provided me the two most critical things that I needed in a family law attorney: high integrity and competence. He enabled me to reach an amicable settlement, and I feel confident moving forward that the needs of myself and my children have been well served.
