Welcome to The M Firm! I have been practicing in Estate Planning for over 25 years, and I love serving the community in this way. This practice offers our firm so many ways to help clients navigate tough decisions and prepare for those two inevitable things: Death and Taxes. We serve families across the State but are based here in North Texas. I became a Personal Family Lawyer in 2018, because I was looking for new ways to connect with and educate the public about making important legal and financial decisions affecting their loved ones.

Our office focuses on family protection and values-based planning, whatever those words mean to each client. We help businesses, individuals, married couples, unmarried couples, families with young children, and couples with grown children. We want to help our clients pass along not only their tangible assets and financial wealth but also those intangible wealth matters that are important to them.

I graduated from Oklahoma City University School of Law on the faculty honor roll in 1996, earning the Excellence for the Future Award in Wills and Estates from the Center of Computer Assisted Legal Instruction (CALI). I was Research Editor for the Law Review, and was recognized for outstanding academic achievement by being selected as a member of Phi Delta Phi Legal Fraternity, Hand Inn (an honors chapter). After graduation, I worked for a small firm where I was able to glean extensive experience in a variety of areas before concentrating on Estate Planning and Probate. I became a partner in that firm after three years. I served as a Municipal Court Judge for two cities and was later the Guardianship Auditor for Probate Court Number Two in Tarrant County. I have been named a “Top Attorney,” in Estate Planning and Probate by my peers in the “Fort Worth, Texas,” publication, and I am a graduate of the Elder Law College.

I founded The M Firm in 2012, where my husband later joined me to add his transactional real estate practice to what we offer. We live in Colleyville and have two outstanding kids of our own. I am a member of the Real Estate, Probate, and Trust Law section of the State Bar, as well as the Tarrant County Probate Bar, the Tarrant County Bar, and the Probate and Trust section of the Dallas Bar. We are active in the community, are members of Compass Christian Church, and participate in volunteer programs such as GRACE’s Feed our Kids and Christmas Cottage, Destination Imagination, and Heart of Alamo Community Service.

We would love to assist you with making the right decisions to protect your loved ones.
