You've spent years building something for the people you love. Without an estate plan, a court steps in and makes decisions that should have been yours: about your assets, your children, and your care. That's not how it should work.
We help you put a thoughtful plan in place that protects what matters most, gives your family clear direction, and helps you move forward with confidence.
For most families, getting an estate plan done is something they know they should do, but keep putting off because it feels overwhelming or just uncomfortable to think about. Tom Misteli has spent more than 20 years making sure that when they finally make the call, the process feels like none of those things.
Board Certified in Estate Planning and Probate Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization (a designation held by less than 1% of Texas attorneys) Tom brings a depth of legal knowledge and a genuinely client-first approach to every matter. He takes the time to understand your family, your goals, and what you actually want to happen, and then builds a plan around that. Not a template. A plan built around your life.
Your family is unique. Your plan should be, too.
Most people know they should have a plan in place. The hard part isn't knowing, it's finally doing it. Here's what getting it done actually gives you and your family:
Share your family, priorities, concerns, and goals so we can understand what matters most to you.
We develop a personalized estate plan designed around your family, assets, and wishes.
You leave with a legally sound plan that reflects exactly what you want.
How We Help You Get This Done.
Every family has its own needs, relationships, and priorities, and your estate plan should reflect that, not force you into a standard solution. We take the time to understand what matters to you and builds a plan that fits your life today and the future you're building.
