About Jimmy

With more than 46 years of legal experience, Jimmy is Board Certified in both Civil Trial Law and Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization — certifications that require rigorous examination and sustained excellence in legal practice.
Board Certification by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization is a distinction held by a small percentage of Texas attorneys and signals a level of distinction recognized by the state's highest legal authority. Jimmy's dual certification in trial and family law gives him particular insight into estate disputes, contested probates, and the family dynamics that often complicate estate planning.
Jimmy's articles for Legacy Assurance Plan draw on his decades of courtroom and client experience, covering topics including trusts, power of attorney, estate maintenance, and the real-world scenarios that arise when estate plans are tested by family conflict, incapacity, or unexpected events.
