Legal Professionals
Our experience offers advantages unknown to some attorneys.
Legal Experience in a specific area that serves you well. Our team at Spencer, Johnson & Harvell, PLLC is committed to providing valuable legal services to our clients all over the state of Texas, and in Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma and South Dakota. Our office is located in Dallas but we are happy to travel to anywhere we are licensed to represent our Clients. Estate litigation has unique statutes designed to promote the probate process and advance the distribution of inheritance; such statutes offer legal maneuvers that can, for instance, turn a small town, known to your opponent, into one more familiar with us. Your attorney must be aware of this and other opportunities. Attorneys less familiar with the Texas Estates Code will miss such opportunities. The Texas estate process has specific deadlines and timing that must navigated, and we have experience addressing such matters timely. You can and should rely on our experience to position you, procedurally, in the best position possible.
