Client Focus
Cade Harris Law serves individuals facing criminal charges in Texas and Oklahoma, individuals and families planning their estates, and property owners with real estate legal needs. The firm’s dual-state capability is particularly valuable for clients who live or work near the Texas-Oklahoma border or who have legal matters in both states.
The flat-fee estate planning packages serve clients who want cost certainty for document drafting without the uncertainty of hourly billing.
Estate Planning Updates as Life Circumstances Change
An estate plan that was appropriate at one stage of life may be inadequate or incorrect at another. Marriage, divorce, the birth of children, the acquisition of significant assets, or changes in a client’s wishes about medical decision-making all create occasions to revisit existing documents. Cade Harris Law assists clients with estate plan reviews and updates as circumstances evolve, not only with initial document preparation. The firm’s flat-fee packages for straightforward needs provide cost predictability, and clients can request a review when life changes suggest their current documents may no longer reflect their intentions. This ongoing relationship between attorney and client, rather than a one-time document preparation, reflects how estate planning works most effectively in practice across Texas and Oklahoma.
