Russell Hall & Associates
Russell W. Hall and Associates, P.C. is a law firm focused on transactions and litigation in Estate Planning, Probate, and Trust Administration matters. For over 20 years, we have served clients with the same thoughtful counsel and personal attention we give to our own family members. Our services are tailored to the unique needs of each client. We listen, explain difficult concepts, and simplify choices to help you make the best decisions for yourself and your family.

We assist a diverse range of clients including foreign nationals and international families. We advise clients and co-counsel in select Immigration and Citizenship Matters. What is the approximate value of the assets, probate estate, or trust we'll be assisting you with? Don't subtract debts or other liabilities. Do include trust assets, life insurance death benefits, and other nonprobate assets.

Depending on the type of services needed, hourly fees will be $425, less for associates. Estate plans may be fixed fee, with simple will packages starting at $3,000 ($3,500 for married couples).
Services
We provide death and disability planning for moderately wealthy individuals and families, serving U.S. citizens, foreign nationals, and international clients.
We welcome families in transition, especially adults helping their parents or other relatives.
Services include the writing of wills, trusts, and ancillary documents, and the coordination of gifts, beneficiary designations, and account agreements.
Our team works closely with clients' other financial professionals, including investment advisors, insurance agents, CPAs, bankers, and trust officers.
We are estate planners, assisting clients with the preparation of wills, powers of attorney, medical directives, and living trusts.
For select clients, we also prepare limited partnerships and trusts as part of a tax-planned gifting strategy.
With your help, we can replace concern with confidence and anxiety with action.
We've worked with people like you for over 20 years and know the best options for your situation.
Once we understand your family, your assets, and your goals, we will discuss the probate and tax considerations relevant to you, explain the most common choices made by others in your situation, listen to your concerns, and share our thoughts about the best options for you.
We represent trustees and beneficiaries in trust interpretation, administration, and enforcement.
Trustees are subject to the most exacting code of conduct known to the law: the fiduciary standard.
The trust instrument and the Texas Trust Code may impose additional or different requirements.
We help our clients, whether trustees or beneficiaries, understand and implement or enforce those requirements.
We also help new trustees interpret trust instruments, review trust assets and activities, and develop diversification, investment, insurance, and distribution plans.
Immigration law is complex and ever-changing.
Our mission is to assist our clients in reaching their immigration goals efficiently and effectively.
Danuta M. "Danka" Villarreal, our immigration and citizenship expert, takes the time to listen to our clients, to thoroughly analyze their needs, to devise the most efficient legal strategy for their legal immigration needs, and to honestly counsel them about their legal options.
Danka represents clients who wish to become naturalized citizens, obtain evidence of their citizenship, obtain a "green card" to remain in the country permanently through family ties or employment, as well as clients who wish to work in the United States with a non-immigrant visa for a temporary period, or companies who wish to employ foreign nationals.
Initially devoted to consumer law, real estate, and commercial litigation, the firm now focuses on estate planning, probate, and trust administration.
Our clients expect a higher level of expertise and service, and we are honored to serve them.
