Client Reviews
Ned Hogan, CFRE March 14, 2024
A Quality Attorney with a heart for her clients. When my wife and I moved to Texas in 2021, we turned to Olivia to provide a re-write of our estate plans, so that our current Last Will and Testament would be in accord with Texas law. Olivia was thorough, careful and helped us to best present our hopes and dream, so that our executors would be guided by a document that was clear and straight-forward. We highly recommend Olivia. She was thorough, extremely well versed so she could ask the right questions.

Biography

I began my legal career as a prosecutor in my hometown of Marshall, Texas. During that time, I gained valuable experience handling cases involving juvenile and domestic violence crimes. Simultaneously, I started assisting family and friends with wills, real estate transactions, and entity documents. It was during this period that I discovered my passion for these practice areas, leading me to shift my focus to estate planning and probate matters in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. I also briefly worked at a title company, further enhancing my practical experience. Continuing my commitment to serving clients and advancing my legal knowledge, I expanded my practice to include complex trust and guardianship matters, both transactional and litigated. My multifaceted skill set and dedication to serving others allow me to be trusted advocate for my clients. Outside of work I am active on the board of Journey to Dream (non-profit) and enjoy singing jazz, cooking, and spending time with my extensive family.
