At The Praxis Legacy Law ™, we help grieving families settle the affairs of their loved ones and transfer wealth by guiding them through Probate and Trust administration process. We are your Probate Easy button.
Probate is a much more involved process than most people realize. And dying without a Will adds cost and, many times, complications to what could be a straightforward process. On the other hand, while having a Will helps the process be more streamlined, there are still many tasks that must be accomplished.

I am a former Air Force JAG officer who is a certified Attorney and Guardian Ad Litem. I love being able to touch the lives of others in this impactful way. Allow me to be your probate easy button. Our office is located in the heart of the DFW metroplex, Euless, TX.
