You work with Leigh Goodson—not a paralegal, not a junior associate. Every phone call, every email, every strategy conversation happens directly between you and your attorney. This isn’t standard in larger firms, and it makes a real difference in how well we understand your needs.

You’ll understand what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and how it protects your family. We explain legal concepts clearly and never use complexity to justify excessive fees.
We start with a detailed conversation about your family, your assets, your concerns, and your goals. This isn’t a brief intake call—it’s a substantive discussion that helps us understand what matters most to you.
After our conversation, Leigh analyzes your situation, considers tax implications, reviews your current documents (if any), and develops a strategic approach tailored to your circumstances.
We present our recommendations clearly, explain the reasoning, and discuss options. Your input shapes every decision. This is collaborative—your values and priorities drive the plan.
We draft your estate planning documents with precision and care. Every document is customized; nothing is generic. You’ll review everything and ask questions until you’re confident.
We guide you through signing, witnessing, and notarizing your documents according to Texas law. We also discuss implementation—whether that’s funding a trust, updating beneficiary designations, or coordinating with other professionals.
Life changes. Your plan should too. We’re available to discuss updates, answer questions, and adjust your estate plan as your circumstances evolve.
Ms. Leigh Goodson was fabulous in giving me advice for my father's situation. She was a wealth of knowledge and recommendations. We will be using her for further estate planning.
Leigh prepared estate documents for myself and my husband, and she did a fantastic job. Everyone at her office was friendly and easy to work with. The process was quick and easy, and we feel so much better knowing our affairs are in order. If anyone needs any estate planning help, I would 100% recommend Leigh and her office!
I knew from my experience working with attorneys for over 30 years that with a blended family my husband and I needed professional estate planning. Ms. Goodson provided us with excellent options and did a very thorough explanation of the pros and cons of each of them. She offered non-judgmental opinions and legal information about the equitable division of our blended families small estate. We chose to go with the more expensive trust option because it would be a simpler and less expensive probate for our children who almost all live out of state. She and her assistant made extra efforts to accommodate our schedule and the entire process was quickly completed. We highly recommend The Goodson Firm. P.C. for your estate planning and probate legal services.
