Houston Probate and Estate Planning Lawyer

My name is John T. Elliott, and at my firm, estates are my focus. From probate and estate administration, including probate disputes, to estate planning and guardianship administration, I work hard to maintain a level of excellence my clients can trust as I work to meet their legal needs from start to finish.

There are many estate planning and probate attorneys to choose from, and it can be challenging to decide who to hire. I am a board-certified attorney because it was important to me to go the extra steps to ensure the highest level of legal representation and personal care. I will be the one meeting with you, answering your questions, discussing your options, guiding your choices, and drafting and filing your documents.
