Phyllis A Oeser Law Office

I was born in Monticello, Arkansas, the fourth child of a farmer/carpenter and homemaker, and honed my negotiating skills and killer instincts while growing up with my older brothers and sister.

Soon after high school I moved to Houston, and attended San Jacinto College until circumstances dictated that I become employed full-time. In 1984, I enrolled in Southwestern Paralegal Institute. Upon completion, I worked as a legal assistant for DeLange, Hudspeth, Pitman & Katz, and returned to San Jacinto College at night to continue my education.

I graduated from the University of Houston, Clear Lake, in 1989 with a B.A. in American Jurisprudence, and moved to Jackson, Mississippi. A few months later, as fate would have it, my husband’s employer needed his services in Houston, and I gladly returned to the land of Blue Bell and bluebonnets. While I was in Mississippi, I worked at Thomas, Price, Alston & Jones as a legal assistant while attending law school.

Back in Houston, I was accepted at South Texas College of Law and became employed with Hirsch, Glover, Robinson & Sheiness. Working full time and attending law school at night, I graduated in 1994.

The years working as a legal assistant provided me with the experience and knowledge to allow me to open my own office. My practice consists of a general civil practice with an emphasis on real estate, probate, elder law and estate planning. Many of my repeat clients are small business owners. I am a member of the Houston Bar Association and Solos Supporting Solos. I am a trained mediator and arbitrator, which means I am an advocate of resolving disputes outside of the courtroom, if possible.

My goal is to offer my clients personalized service at affordable rates. My approach to being an attorney is to be a problem solver, whether or not the solution involves the legal system. Hard work and perseverance are the keys to my achievements, and the backbone of my practice. I believe in taking the time to visit with and getting to know my clients, as this allows me to better serve their needs.
