In my 42 years of legal practice, I’ve helped many people just
like you. Clients who needed to make a will. Friends with
elderly parents who needed some estate planning or information
on guardianship. People who wanted to buy or sell real estate
and needed a contract to protect their interests. People who
needed advice on negotiating a mineral lease or who had surface
damage to their property. I was born and raised in McAlester
and, if we haven’t met yet, I hope we can work together to
resolve your legal problem.
It doesn’t take much common sense to realize that legal
questions cover some of the most personal and important issues
affecting your life and business and that you need very specific
answers to meet your particular legal needs. I would hate to
pass you on the street knowing I had merely provided a skin-deep
solution to a legal concern that had a significant impact on
your business or family. I am a life-long resident of this
community and I provide experienced legal services at a fair and
reasonable price to all of my clients.
One of the mainstays of my practice has always been Wills and
Probate, including Living Trusts, Estate Planning, Durable
Powers of Attorney and Physician’s Directives.
Don’t let your hard-earned money go to the wrong person. You owe
it to your family to make these important financial plans. Check
out the Wills and Estates questionnaire and FAQ’s. We can
protect your estate from undue tax burdens as well as help plan
the care of elderly family members. Remember that we all have a
will, but it was written by the state legislature. What are the
chances that they got it right?
With the current boom in drilling for Natural Gas, there are
many questions that clients have regarding leasing and surface
damage. I have been very successful in obtaining a fair price
for leases and damages and in negotiating important terms in the
leases that the drilling companies always seem to forget to
offer the inexperienced.
I have personal experience in real estate development and oil
and gas investment and will be happy to provide knowledgeable
advice on the many agreements and problems that arise in these
areas. If you are beginning a new business and want to set up a
Limited Liability Corporation or other business entity. If you
are a business requiring agreements and contracts. Perhaps you
are a landlord with collection and other tenant concerns. I will
use my 42 years of experience working with a number of local
banks and businesses on these matters and to provide legal
services at a rate which will furnish good value for your money.
My long time right hand and paralegal, Winnie, and I look
forward to meeting you and serving your legal needs.
