Georgetown Attorneys

Social Security Disability Lawyers in Georgetown, TX

Georgetown sits close to Fort Cavazos, so many local families include active-duty service members, veterans, and military spouses who paid into Social Security through civilian jobs. When an injury or illness stops you from working, the disability claims process is confusing and slow, and most first-time applications get denied.

Manuel Alcozer is board-certified in Social Security Disability Advocacy, a credential held by fewer than 60 attorneys in the entire country. He and our team help Georgetown residents apply for SSDI and SSI, appeal denials, and prepare for disability hearings in front of an administrative law judge.

Most first-time disability applications get denied, often over paperwork problems rather than the medical facts of the case. We help Georgetown clients gather the right medical evidence, meet Social Security’s deadlines, and present a claim that holds up on appeal. Visit our Georgetown Social Security Disability Lawyer page to learn how the process works.

Probate & Wills Attorney in Georgetown, TX

Jay R. Beatty is the firm’s sole Probate & Wills attorney, and he personally handles every probate and estate planning matter that comes through our Georgetown office. When a loved one dies, Texas law gives you a limited window to file for probate, and the process looks different depending on whether there’s a valid will, who the heirs are, and what property is involved.

Beatty helps Georgetown families open probate, resolve will contests, handle blended-family disputes over an estate, and plan ahead with wills, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives. His pre-law construction background also comes in handy when an estate includes a family-owned contracting or construction business, since valuing and transferring that kind of business takes more than reading a balance sheet.

Texas gives you a limited window to file for probate after a loved one passes away, and missing it can complicate an estate for years. Beatty walks Georgetown families through each step, from the first filing at the courthouse to the final distribution of assets. Visit our Georgetown Probate Lawyer page for more on how Beatty can help your family.

Veterans Benefits Attorneys Serving Georgetown

Fort Cavazos is one of the largest military installations in the country, and its presence shapes daily life in Georgetown and across Central Texas. While our firm does not handle VA disability claims directly, we help veterans and military families with the civilian legal matters that come up around service, including Social Security Disability claims that run alongside a separate VA claim.

Many Georgetown families move here because of Fort Cavazos, and military life brings its own legal questions, from estate planning before deployment to injury claims after an accident off base. Our team understands the rhythm of military family life in Central Texas. Learn more about our approach on our statewide Veterans Benefits page.

Real Estate Law Attorneys in Georgetown

Georgetown’s growth means real estate disputes are more common than ever, from boundary disagreements between new subdivisions to contract fights over new construction. Our real estate attorneys help Georgetown property owners, buyers, and sellers work through title issues, easement disputes, and purchase agreement problems before they turn into a lawsuit.

New development along the edges of Georgetown often runs into older survey lines and long-standing easements, and disputes over these details can hold up a closing or spark a fight between neighbors. We help Georgetown clients resolve these issues before they become expensive. Visit our Real Estate Law page for details.

Civil Litigation Attorneys in Georgetown

Not every dispute fits neatly into one category, and Georgetown’s fast growth has brought its share of contract disputes, property disputes, and disagreements between neighbors and business partners. Our civil litigation attorneys represent Georgetown clients in Williamson County courts when a disagreement can’t get resolved without a judge.

We take a straightforward approach to litigation: try to resolve the dispute without a trial when possible, and prepare every case as if it’s going to trial anyway. That preparation is what puts Georgetown clients in the strongest position at the negotiating table. See our Civil Litigation page for more.

Commercial Law Attorneys Serving Georgetown Businesses

New businesses are opening across Georgetown every month to keep up with the population boom, and each one needs sound legal footing. Our commercial law attorneys help Georgetown business owners with contracts, business formation, partnership disputes, and the legal issues that come with fast growth.

A new storefront near the downtown square and a growing contracting business both need the same thing: solid legal groundwork before problems show up. The work you put in now can prevent a costly dispute later. Learn more on our Commercial Law page.

Consumer Law Attorneys in Georgetown

When a Georgetown resident gets taken advantage of by a debt collector, a lender, or an unfair business practice, consumer protection law gives them a way to fight back. Our consumer law attorneys help local clients hold companies accountable for deceptive or unlawful conduct.

Fast growth can bring fast-talking businesses looking to cut corners with new residents who don’t yet know the area. If a company misled you, overcharged you, or broke the law to get your money, we can help you push back. Visit our Consumer Law page to learn more.

Construction Law Attorneys in Georgetown

Georgetown’s construction boom is the biggest story in local real estate right now, with entire neighborhoods and commercial corridors going up at once. That much building activity brings contract disputes, defective work claims, and disagreements between contractors, subcontractors, and property owners. Jay R. Beatty and Alex Bass both worked in construction before becoming lawyers, so they understand job sites, contracts, and code requirements from the inside, not just from a legal textbook.

That firsthand experience means we can spot a code violation or a bad contract clause faster than an attorney who has never set foot on a job site. Georgetown contractors, subcontractors, and property owners come to us when a construction dispute threatens a project’s timeline or budget. See our Construction Law page for more.
