Dawson Law LLP is a full-service estate planning and probate law Firm with offices in Austin and Bastrop, Texas.

These are complex and technical bodies of law that require a high level of understanding, and it's important to choose a firm that has experience representing sophisticated, complex matters.
But you shouldn't settle there. Doing a great job on the legal side should be a given-what's often missing is that personal touch. Estate planning can be complex and overwhelming, which is why so many people put it off. Dawson Law LLP strives to be a different kind of estate planning Firm, and "Making Complicated, Easy" isn't just a fancy slogan, it's at the center of every decision made.

When you have a successful business, are a high income earner, or are employed in a highly litigious industry, you're viewed as potential target for lawsuits. Asset protection is about preparing for the possibility of a lawsuit so that when it occurs, the party suing you would find it difficult to take control over your property.
If you don't have a Will, the State of Texas has one for you, and it's not very good! A common misunderstanding we hear from those who haven't completed their estate planning is the belief that when they die, their husband or wife simply gets everything. In some cases, this couldn't be further from the truth-the surviving spouse may get nothing at all.

Initially, Matt met with my wife and I virtually, then sent us a very detailed questions about our wishes. It was quickly evident that he is very knowledgeable & wanted the best for us & for our desires to be documented. Matt then drafted our living trust & wills. I was surprised at how easy it was! He sent us updates as he was drafting the documents and was happy to share early drafts when I was curious how things were developing.
Due to my travel scheduled he arranged to do my final signing while on the phone w/ a notary and our two witnesses - things went extremely smoothly and you could tell

Match is the most responsive attorney I have come across. He is efficient, thorough, and professional. Something that stuck out to me is, he really seems to take pride in his work. An attorney like this is hard to find. Highly recommend his services.

I hired Matt to update an existing Will & Trust. I can honestly say this experience was much more positive than my first one! Matt was very clear and transparent throughout the process. I was especially pleased with the way he drafted the Will & Trust so that assets could be moved in and out without additional legal fees. This was not the case with my first Will & Trust.
I would highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for this type of legal service.

When my husband recently passed away it made me realize how very important it is to have estate documents in place when the time comes - Will, Powers of Attorney, Financial planning for minors (grandchildren), etc. I am so grateful that my search for help with this led me to Matthew "Match" Dawson. Even with this pandemic going on and a few life-changing events in HIS life (birth of his twin boys), he was right on top of my case. Communication is excellent... always returns my calls, texts and emails right away, always answers all of my questions completely and thoroughly. All documents were prepared

Matt was exceptionally helpful and thorough beyond all of our previous experiences with estate lawyers. He took all the time necessary to help us understand the various nuances of the law so that we could make the best decisions for our situation. Given the limitations we have had to experience related to face-to-face meetings due to the current pandemic environment, Matt went out of his way to address our concerns via emails and multiple lengthy telephone conversations. We definitely would recommend Dawson Law for your estate legal needs.
