Any successful business needs high-quality, up-to-date, and enforceable contracts. Whether you’re selling goods or services, are customer or business-facing, rent a space, or work from home, our firm can provide you with all agreements you’ll need to protect your interests and successfully operate your business.
Some examples of the services we offer include operating agreements, corporate bylaws, annual meetings forms and reports, business contracts (master service agreements, purchase agreements, sales contracts, etc.), and non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements.
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.
Settling a loved one’s estate doesn’t have to be expensive and time-consuming - especially when there are no disputes among the family members and the departed had a professionally drafted will. That’s why our firm offers fixed-fee probate services when possible. Even if a fixed-fee approach isn’t right for you, there are many different ways to probate an estate and our firm will help determine which one is right for you.
Some of the services we offer our probate clients include petitions for independent administration, letters testamentary, small estate affidavits, muniments of title, executor guidance, and more.
Clear and enforceable employment and independent contractor agreements are critical to protecting your business. Our Dallas business attorney will put his extensive experience in the field of employment law to work for you. With our firm’s help, you can rest assured that your agreements are clear, concise, and effective.
For example, our firm offers employment contracts for all types of employees, independent contractor agreements, confidentiality and non-compete agreements, severance agreements, and employment policies and handbooks.
