Horrigan & Goehrs, L.L.P. is a highly regarded probate litigation and administration firm founded in 1987 by Joseph S. Horrigan. We are one of only a few firms in Texas that specializes exclusively in matters related to estate planning, probate, trust and guardianship law.
Our three partners have over 75 years of combined experience in these areas. It is this experience that enables us to provide clear and concise counsel to individuals who are navigating the sometimes confusing legal procedures related to the estate of their deceased family member during one of the most difficult times of their lives – including the transfer of assets, the payment of claims and the preparation of probate court and federal tax filings. Because of our reputation and the breadth of our experience, other attorneys frequently refer matters to our firm with unusual and difficult facts and issues. In addition to our expertise in the area of estate and guardianship administration, we are also well qualified to provide estate planning services to our clients – from simple wills to complex tax planning documents, including many different types of trusts, agreements in contemplation of marriage, powers of attorney, medical powers of attorney, and directives to physicians (“living wills”). Our firm perhaps is best known for its extensive experience in litigation involving decedent’s estates, trusts and guardianships. The firm, and both of its named partners, has the highest rating (AV) in Martindale-Hubbell's Law Directory.*
At Horrigan & Goehrs, L.L.P., our partners and associates are committed to providing comprehensive, efficient and excellent service. We emphasize and encourage ongoing professional development. All of our attorneys regularly participate in continuing legal education seminars, professional association activities and civic affairs. Our firm is also supported by a friendly, loyal and knowledgeable staff with many years of experience in our areas of practice.
