Houston families deserve a lawyer who picks up the phone. We've handled over 3,000 cases across probate, estate planning, and litigation. Call us and talk to Troy directly.
Most people don't call a lawyer until something goes wrong. But in Harris County, waiting too long can cost you real money and real time. A lawyer [1] handles far more than courtrooms. From contested wills to insurance disputes after a storm, the problems Houston families face are specific to this city. We've seen probate drag on for years because no one filed the right paperwork. We've seen families lose property because a deed wasn't updated. Houston's court system is large and slow. Getting the right help early makes a measurable difference.
Losing someone is hard enough. Figuring out probate court on top of that is overwhelming. We walk you through every step so nothing gets missed.
Will contests happen more often than most people expect. We've handled dozens of these cases right here in Houston. We know how to protect what your loved one intended.
Hurricane Harvey changed everything for Houston homeowners. If your insurer denied or lowballed your claim, that's not the final word. We fight those decisions.
Texas has strong homestead protections, but they don't cover everything. Without a solid plan, your estate could end up in probate court for months. We help you avoid that.
Houston's lack of zoning laws creates real legal headaches around deed restrictions and land use. We've handled these disputes across the metro area.
Most law firms make you wait. We offer a 24/7 emergency text line for urgent matters. And when you call, you talk to Troy, not a receptionist.

Don't let a big firm treat your family like a file number.
We cover a wide range of legal services from probate and estate planning to personal injury and trial representation. Each service is handled with the same direct, personal approach.

Harris County has four probate courts and a civil docket that moves slowly. We've filed cases in those courts for over two decades. We know the judges, the timelines, and the paperwork traps that catch families off guard. Houston is also a community property state, which changes how estates and divorces work. That matters a lot when you're dealing with high-value property in areas like Bellaire or Memorial Villages. We serve clients across the metro, from Tomball and Cypress down to the inner loop.
Harris County's four probate courts sit at 201 Caroline St and handle one of the largest estate dockets in Texas. Inner-loop neighborhoods like Bellaire and West University Place have aging, high-value homeowner populations. That means more estates, more disputes, and more demand for experienced probate counsel. We've been in those courtrooms for years.
Here are honest answers to the questions we hear most from Houston families.
Cost depends on the type of legal matter and how complex it is. Probate and estate planning work is often handled on a flat fee, which makes budgeting easier. Litigation cases may be hourly or contingency-based. We're upfront about pricing from the first call. You won't get a surprise invoice.
In Texas, there are real deadlines tied to probate. The window to file an application to probate a will is generally four years from the date of death. But waiting creates problems. Assets can be frozen, debts can pile up, and disputes get harder to resolve. Call us as soon as you're ready.
You'll talk directly with Troy Moore. He'll listen to your situation, ask a few targeted questions, and give you a clear picture of your options. We don't use intake forms as a substitute for real conversation. Most people leave the first call with a much clearer sense of what to do next.
Mediation is a structured negotiation with a neutral third party. It's faster, cheaper, and private. Trial puts your case in front of a judge or jury and can take years. We handle both. In our experience, many disputes settle in mediation when both sides have strong legal representation at the table.
Yes. We serve families throughout the greater Houston area, including The Woodlands, Spring, Cypress, Tomball, and Magnolia. We have two office locations for added convenience. And for urgent matters, our 24/7 text line means you don't have to wait for business hours.
Is someone contesting a will? Did an insurance company deny your claim? Is a business partner threatening litigation? Did a loved one die without a clear estate plan? These are all signs to call now. The most common mistake we see is waiting until a deadline has passed. Early action almost always leads to better outcomes.
Yes, and that's one of the most valuable things we do. Our Probate Avoidance Package is designed specifically to help Houston families keep their estates out of court. With the right documents in place, your assets can transfer to your heirs without a judge involved. It saves time, money, and a lot of family stress.
