Description

The Lefler Law Firm, PLLC is growing and seeks a Texas-licensed attorney to help serve our estate planning, probate, and guardianship clients. Our strong preference is for candidates with meaningful experience in estate planning and/or probate—but we are also open to accomplished attorneys from other practice areas who know they want to pivot into this work and bring proven client, drafting, and case-management skills.

We value sound judgment, empathy, clear communication, and a practical problem-solving mindset. If you care about helping families protect what matters and want to do high-quality work in a collegial boutique setting, we’d love to hear from you.

Perfect for an attorney who wants to thrive in a collegial, client-centered, on-site practice with meaningful client impact.

The Role

•        Draft and revise wills, trusts, and related estate planning documents
•        Manage estate administrations from opening to close (drafting pleadings, attend hearings, issues notices, prepare accountings)
•        Advise clients on incapacity planning, beneficiary designations, and risk-aware strategies
•        (Optional/as applicable) Handle guardianship matters

Guardianship experience is a plus on either track.
