High Net Worth Business, Trust & Estate Planning Attorneys
Texas Statewide

Continuum Counsel serves high net worth and ultra-high-net-worth families across the entire state of Texas, with dedicated practice pages for 15 city/regional markets: Frisco, Dallas, Tyler, Austin, San Antonio, Boerne, Houston, Corpus Christi, Harlingen-Brownsville, Midland-Odessa, Big Spring, Abilene, Lubbock, Amarillo, and El Paso. The principal office is in Frisco, Texas, and engagements are conducted virtually statewide with in-person availability when discretion or family-meeting context calls for it.

Three differentiators: (1) Dual-licensure — Managing Attorney Darryl V. Pratt is both a licensed Texas Attorney and a Certified Public Accountant, so estate, business, and trust strategies are designed with simultaneous legal and tax optimization rather than handed off between two firms; (2) Direct attorney access — Private Client Services clients work directly with the attorney, not through paralegals or staff gatekeeping; (3) Integrated Pinnacle Protection Plan™ — business succession, estate plan, asset protection, and trust structures are coordinated in a single engagement so they reinforce rather than contradict each other.

Yes. The UHNW Private Client tier serves Texas families with $50M+ in total assets and includes layered dynasty trusts (often domiciled in Texas or South Dakota), family limited partnerships with valuation discounts, GRAT ladders, intentionally defective grantor trusts (IDGTs), spousal lifetime access trusts (SLATs) used before the 2026 exemption sunset, charitable lead trusts (CLTs) and charitable remainder trusts (CRTs), private family offices, directed trust governance, and pre-immigration / pre-liquidity-event planning. Every UHNW plan is designed as one integrated strategy alongside the client's CPAs, wealth managers, trustees, and insurance advisors.

Engagement begins with a confidential, no-obligation strategy session — direct attorney access with Darryl V. Pratt, no staff gatekeeping. Within one to two weeks, you receive a written scope memo identifying the recommended structures, engagement fee, deliverable timeline, and a coordination plan for your existing CPAs, wealth advisors, and trustees. To start, request a strategy session online or call (888) 517-4575.

Comprehensive HNW plans typically range from $7,500 to $25,000 or more depending on structure complexity, number of entities, and whether advanced tools (ILIT, GRAT, IDGT, SLAT, FLP, dynasty trust) are included. UHNW Private Client engagements at $50M+ are scoped individually based on family-office complexity, multi-jurisdictional coordination, and ongoing fiduciary support requirements. All engagements begin with a confidential strategy session at no cost.
