Mike originally came out of law school intending to primarily practice in the area of civil litigation.  However, after several years of battling for his clients in court, he began to work at keeping his clients out of court through proper planning.  He soon assumed the duties of taking care of the estate planning and probate matters for employees and families at the firm where he worked, which ultimately lead him to switch the emphasis of his practice solely to estate planning, asset protection, and probate. Mike was recently named a 2017 Five Star Wealth Manager by Texas Monthly Magazine.
