    Biography

    Thomas W. McCulloch, JD, CPA, is a highly experienced elder law and probate law attorney, committed to providing essential legal counsel to older adults and their families. His practice is grounded in the belief that facing the challenges of aging with proper planning can empower families to make informed decisions about care and lifestyle options.

    Tom's dedication to elder law began on a personal note when he navigated the complexities of planning for his own mother’s care during a health crisis. This firsthand experience with healthcare providers and agencies reinforced his commitment to advocating for the elderly and inspired him to build a legal team focused on addressing the unique legal, financial, and care-related needs of older adults.

    At The Probate Law Group, Tom and his team take pride in their client-centered approach to probate law. They prioritize understanding the specific wishes of the deceased and their families, ensuring that probate administration and estate planning processes result in smooth asset transfers and satisfying outcomes for all involved. With a compassionate and detail-oriented approach, Tom is dedicated to providing tailored guidance through every step of the legal process.

    Tom earned his bachelor's degree from the University of Texas and received his Juris Doctor from the University of Houston, where he was inducted into the prestigious Order of Barons honor society. He is licensed to practice law in both Texas and Colorado, and his expertise extends to the United States Tax Court, allowing him to offer comprehensive legal counsel that addresses a wide range of tax and estate planning matters.
