Central Texas Attorneys
Central Texas is one of the fastest-growing regions in the country, anchored by Fort Cavazos and stretching across Bell, Coryell, McLennan, Williamson, and Lampasas Counties. Michalk, Beatty & Alcozer, L.P. has been based in Killeen for more than two decades, and this is our home region. We know the courts, the roads, and the communities here because we built our practice on this ground before we ever expanded statewide.
Our attorneys handle personal injury, Social Security Disability, probate and estate planning, and business and property law for clients throughout Central Texas. Whether you got hurt in a wreck on I-35, need help with a denied disability claim, are settling a loved one’s estate, or have a business or property dispute, our team is ready to help. Call us at (254) 765-9552 for a free consultation. Hablamos español.
Personal Injury Lawyers Serving Central Texas
Central Texas’s rapid growth has made its roads busier and its job sites more crowded, and that means more car wrecks, more truck accidents, and more construction site injuries every year. The I-35 corridor running through Georgetown, Temple, Belton, and Waco carries some of the heaviest freight and commuter traffic in the state, and Fort Cavazos adds a steady stream of military and contractor vehicle traffic through Killeen and Harker Heights.
Attorney Manuel Alcozer’s board certification in Social Security Disability Advocacy gives him a rare understanding of how a serious injury affects someone for years, not just on the day it happens, and Attorneys Jay R. Beatty and Robert “Alex” Bass both worked in construction before law school, which matters directly in a region with this much active building. Learn more about how we build a case around the roads and job sites specific to this region on our Central Texas Personal Injury Lawyer page.
Social Security Disability Lawyers Serving Central Texas
Central Texas has a workforce built on physical labor, from construction crews to ranch and farm work, along with one of the largest concentrations of veterans and military families in the country because of Fort Cavazos. When a medical condition keeps someone from doing that kind of work, the Social Security Administration’s five-step process and its focus on residual functional capacity can be difficult to navigate alone, and most first-time applications get denied.
Attorney Manuel Alcozer is board-certified in Social Security Disability Advocacy, a credential fewer than 60 attorneys nationwide hold, and he leads our firm’s disability practice for clients throughout the region. Visit our Central Texas Social Security Disability Lawyer page to learn how the process works and what to do if you’ve already been denied.
Probate & Wills Attorney Serving Central Texas
Attorney Jay R. Beatty personally handles every probate and estate planning case in our Central Texas practice, from validating a will to guiding an executor through the creditor claims process. Central Texas has a large population of small business owners, family farms and ranches, and military families whose estates raise questions a generic probate practice isn’t always ready to handle, and Jay’s hands-on construction background gives him a real advantage when a family business is part of the estate.
Texas generally requires a will to be filed for probate within four years of a person’s death, and independent administration is available in every Central Texas county whenever a will authorizes it or all heirs agree. Visit our Central Texas Probate Lawyer page for more on how Jay can guide your family through the process.
Veterans Benefits Attorneys Serving Central Texas
Fort Cavazos is one of the largest military installations in the country, and its presence shapes daily life across our entire region. While our firm does not handle VA disability claims directly, we help veterans and military families throughout Central Texas with the civilian legal matters that come up around service, including Social Security Disability claims that run alongside a separate VA claim. Learn more about our approach on our statewide Veterans Benefits page.

Construction Law Attorneys Serving Central Texas
Central Texas’s construction boom is one of the biggest stories in the region right now, with entire neighborhoods and commercial corridors going up at once in Georgetown, Temple, and the surrounding communities.

Communities We Serve Across Central Texas
Michalk, Beatty & Alcozer, L.P. is based in Killeen, and we built this practice serving the communities immediately around us before growing statewide.

We also regularly represent clients in Harker Heights, Nolanville, Copperas Cove, Lampasas, Salado, Troy, Bellmead, Hewitt, Robinson, Woodway, McGregor, and Morgan’s Point Resort, communities that don’t yet have a dedicated page of their own but fall well within our home service area.
