Matthew Gilpin is a Partner at McCathern’s Dallas office whose practice primarily focuses on probate matters, estate administrations, and inheritance issues.

Matthew’s probate experience involves managing all aspects of cases – legal and administrative – from start to finish. This includes helping his clients find the most efficient and cost-effective solutions to settling estate matters.  Additionally, Matthew advises clients regarding estate planning and asset protection and he drafts trusts, wills, directives, releases, and other estate planning documents.

Matthew firmly believes that to create the most effective estate plan, it must be tailored to fit the individual’s unique goals and circumstances. This is precisely where his deep experience building strong, lasting relationships with his estate plan clients becomes so valuable.

By never treating his probate and estate clients as just another case number and always maintaining open and timely communications, he has built strong relationships with his clients and embodies McCathern’s motto of Improving People’s Lives. Customer satisfaction is Matthew’s ultimate goal.
