Our Services & Practice Areas
When it comes to estate planning, we know that no two individuals are alike. That’s why we take a personal approach and help you determine what documents and plans make the most sense for your circumstances. We offer both flat-fee packages and hourly services at competitive rates. Let us help you achieve the peace of mind that comes with a professionally prepared, properly executed estate plan.
Here are some examples of the estate planning services we offer: customized wills, revocable and irrevocable trusts, trust creation and management documents, medical and durable powers of attorney, advance directives, transfer on death deeds, Ladybird deeds, and guardianship declarations.
Starting your own business is both exciting and scary. Should I form an LLC? What is an operating agreement and do I need one? Should I be using an NDA? We can help you with all of those questions and more. Get your new venture started on the right foot with The Patterson Law Firm’s clear, practical advice and business formations services.
​
Some examples of the services we offer in this area are LLC and series LLC formation and conversion, corporate formations, DBAs, and membership/ownership transfers.
Probate is a broad term for the legal process that occurs after a person dies. Although Texas probate can be made simpler with the correct estate planning, it can still be complex and confusing. We help you understand what type of probate, if any, is necessary for your loved one’s estate, including how to deal with any debts and assets they left behind. For many uncontested probate matters, we offer flat-fee probate services that include court filings and appearances and guidance for the estate representative as they navigate the probate system.
Some examples of the type of probate we handle include affidavits of heirship, muniments of title, independent administrations, letters testamentary, and more.
The use of employment contracts is on the rise, regardless of whether you’re an at-will employee or not. As an employee, it’s critical to understand the content of any agreement you sign at all stages of your employment journey. Whether you’re entertaining a job offer or find yourself the victim of a layoff, we can help you parse the legalese and ensure you understand what you’re being asked to sign. Whether you’re a blue-collar worker or an executive, let us put our extensive employment law experience to work for you.
Our employment contract services include severance agreements, independent contractor agreements, confidentiality and non-compete agreements, executive employment contracts, and non-disclosure agreements.
