About Our Office
Donna Roberts Hernandez and Kellie Fister Stokes aim to give you the personal attention that you deserve from an attorney. Their practice focuses on assisting families and individuals with developing an estate plan to meet their needs. This includes drafting wills, trusts, power of attorneys, and other needed documents. In the event of a death our office assists families with probating their loved one’s estate. Additionally, we advise those starting a small business in Texas on the best entity structure. This includes drafting documents to form a Texas business entity and contracts or other documents associated with starting a small business. Ms. Stokes is the attorney for Freedom Title. She is involved in the active real estate market and the legal aspects of real estate on a daily basis.
Our legal services are a blend of traditional in-office consultations with online resources. Our services are conducted via email, and only supplemented by phone or fax when necessary. Emails are given a priority and answered same day or next business day. Our office has found that emails are the most efficient and prompt form of communication with the most reasonable expectation and cost.
Our Process
Complete and submit the form for the area of practice on which you are requesting information: Estate Planning, Probate, Small Business, and Real Estate. You will receive a prompt response confirming we can handle your type of case, go over the submitted form, our procedures and fees, and if you so chose, to schedule an initial meeting with the attorney. We will then draft any requested documents, and, if necessary, schedule a follow up meeting to sign all documents. Reasonable follow-up questions within the immediate time frame are included. Please see our Fees & Policies page for our fees, our procedures and list of all possible documents.
While we have every confidence in our system and our clients, we know it is not for everyone. Those who require a more personal touch may prefer a more hands on, in office law firm. Please let us know as we may be able to recommend one to you.
Conflict of Interest
Our office cannot advise on any matter where we have previously advised the other party. There comes times during initial contact with the client when we realize the connection and must refer this matter out immediately. We will refund any retainers made during the course of this matter, if any, and give you referrals to several attorneys in the area you may be able to handle your case.
