Oklahoma City (Sept. 27,
2022) – Ball Morse
Lowe, a leading law firm in Oklahoma, announced
today plans to merge with estate planning firm Mugg Winston
on Oct. 1 to expand their estate planning and probate team and to meet a
growing need for legal services.
Ball Morse Lowe is a
recognized, trusted, and respected law firm that has served businesses and
individuals across Oklahoma, Texas, and Colorado for more than a decade. The
merger will establish a firm of 60 team members, including 12 attorneys and
legal support staff in the expanded estate planning practice located in Oklahoma
City and Norman, in addition to a location in Edmond at the current Mugg
Winston office.
The strategy to expand the
estate planning practice area comes after an ever-growing demand for estate
planning and probate services across the state of Oklahoma. The need for estate
planning increased as the pandemic shifted people’s perspective on life and
death scenarios and preparing for the future when it comes to personal
estates.
“Our attorneys play a vital role in serving and supporting our clients in challenging
times, and we strive to be an empathetic advocate for families and individuals
who are making life-changing decisions,” said Eric Patrick, chief operating
officer of Ball Morse Lowe. “The expanded practice resources will
provide meaningful additions that will benefit our clients and allow us to
create an even more personalized experience.”
The newly merged firm will
blend decades of experience with a shared mission to provide approachable legal
counsel and thoughtful solutions through an expanded estate planning team and
the capacity to serve more clients.
Brian Hill will be joined
by Mugg Winston’s veteran attorneys Christin Mugg and Bria Winston to lead the
firm’s rapidly growing estate planning and probate practice. Mugg has over 24
years of experience as an estate planning, tax, and charitable planning
attorney. Additionally, Winston brings 12 years of estate planning and business
succession expertise to the group.
“We are enthusiastic about this merger which will bring about
positive changes for our team as we continue to guide even more clients through
important goals and needs, decisions and complex situations with compassionate
counsel,” said Christin Mugg.
In addition to estate planning, the expanded legal team at Ball
Morse Lowe also offers services in family law, litigation, oil, gas, and energy
law, and business planning. For more information, visit ballmorselowe.com.
