I am licensed to practice law in the United States Supreme Court, the State of Texas, both the Northern, Eastern and Southern Districts of Texas Federal Courts. I have represented well over 10,000 bankruptcies since 2003. I have worked out over 5000 IRS tax problems since 2003. I have also represented clients with loan modifications on their homes as well as deed's in lieu of foreclosure, short sales, and the rescinding of foreclosures. There are many alternatives to bankruptcy which my law firm has dealt with as well including credit card problem negotiation, offer-in-compromise and tax installment agreement. My goal is to make my law firm the industry standard in these areas of the law. If I can assist as many people as possible to reach their goals of financial freedom through representation and education I will feel as though I have accomplished something in my life. This practice is my passion and something that I believe in greatly. We provide a service to our clients that they will feel for the rest of their lives and that is what makes it all worth it.

Harvey L. Cox has been practicing law in Texas since 1990 and has extensive experience working with families and businesses. He limits his practice to estate planning and asset protection planning. Harvey earned two Bachelor’s degrees, one from Dallas Bible College in 1983 and the other from Criswell College in 1987. Between those two degrees, Harvey did work on a Master’s of Theology degree at Dallas Theological Seminary. He left Dallas Seminary in 1987 to pursue a career in law, graduating from the University of Houston Law Center in 1989. (Yes, there is a story there but it’s way too long for this space so feel free to ask Harvey about it when you’re in the office or have him on the phone.) Harvey did return to his theological studies, completing a Master’s of Theology degree in December 2018 at Campbellsville University School of Theology. Harvey is a member of the State Bar of Texas, the Texas Bar College, and the Waco-McLennan County Bar Association. He is a recipient of the 2019 Martindale Hubbell “Distinguished” Peer Review Rating for High Professional Achievement. Harvey believes there is an incredible amount of misinformation, half-truths, and estate planning myths masquerading as truth. He battles against incorrect information daily. That’s why he devotes a significant amount of time conducting seminars in local churches, senior citizen centers, and in his office to educate Seniors on Texas Estate Planning issues. When Harvey is not in the office helping clients or teach Senior seminars, he teaches Business Law at McLennan Community College (MCC) in Waco, Texas. MCC also offers an extensive selection of Continuing Education classes to the public each semester. Harvey and his Senior Legal Assistant, Gary Hill, teach a six-hour Estate Planning and Asset Protection Planning Class for Seniors as part of the Continuing Education Program. The date of their next class is available on the Seminars Page. Harvey was born and raised in Mexia, Texas. He lives in Waco, Texas with his wife, Rebecca. They have three sons.

Since 1976, licensed Texas attorney John W. Mikus has been working on behalf of his clients in probate, real estate, and family law transactions and litigation, both simple and complex, serving Harris County and surrounding counties within about a 100-mile radius of Houston. During the initial telephone consult, Mr. Mikus is willing to listen to the potential client, ask questions about the facts, and describe possible solutions and costs and fee arrangements needed to represent his potential client's interest before confirming the scope and fees of his employment by either email or after meeting with the potential client at his office or a place more convenient to the potential client to sign a mutually acceptable written fee agreement providing for the negotiated initial retainer to be paid in advance by the potential client in order for Mr. Mikus to be responsible to start providing the agreed legal services.
