i became an estate lawyer because
00:06
i really care about families i myself am
00:09
part of a very large mexican family
00:12
from the border of texas and mexico both
00:14
of my parents are one of ten
00:16
i have a lot of aunts uncles cousins
00:19
grandparents and i was very fortunate to
00:21
be raised in this
00:22
wonderful warm loving family and
00:26
it takes a lot of effort to make sure
00:28
that those families are protected and
00:30
being in such a large family you can see
00:32
how
00:33
effective an estate plan or a probate
00:36
attorney can be in helping a family
00:37
either plan for unforeseen circumstances
00:40
to protect their family
00:42
or in the event that someone passes away
00:44
to try to avoid
00:45
issues that could hurt the family and so
00:47
being a very family oriented person i
00:49
knew that i wanted to go into an
00:51
area of law that primarily worked to
00:54
protect and work with families to make
00:55
their situation as easy as possible
00:57
so that’s why i became an estate
00:59
planning and probate attorney

my philosophy is to help our clients
01:10
as much as possible estate planning and
01:12
probate can be
01:14
a difficult or daunting process to many
01:17
people there are just a lot of unknowns
01:19
and whenever you’re dealing with death
01:22
or when you’re planning for death
01:24
people have are going through difficult
01:26
circumstances in their lives they’ve
01:28
just lost a loved one
01:30
or maybe that occurred and they know
01:32
that they need to create a plan to
01:34
prevent any type of failures
01:36
and so my philosophy is to always help
01:40
and guide the client as much as possible
01:42
and to really hold their hand so that
01:44
they don’t feel alone in this process
01:46
we’re guiding them in the right
01:47
direction
01:48
and to make sure that they feel
01:49
comfortable with what can seem like a
01:51
daunting process to be
01:53
simplified easy and something that they
01:56
can work with in the future if they have to
