DALLAS - The very public battle of the life and death of Terri Schiavo, brought millions of Americans — some for the first time — face to face with the importance of medical directives and last will and testaments.

Since Schiavo's death last spring, Americans have come forward to educate themselves on how to prepare themselves and their families for such unexpected but possible tragedy.

To respond to the public's demand for education on and preparation of wills, Ford & Mathiason LLP proudly announces the opening of a Dallas Office, at 100 Crescent Court, Suite 700 Dallas, Texas 75201.

And now, Ford & Mathiason announces that they are the only firm serving two major cities, Houston and now Dallas.

"You should have both a Medical Power of Attorney and a Will", says Don Ford, firm founder and a frequent writer and speaker on the areas of estate planning and probate.

The Dallas office will serve clients in Dallas, Tarrant, Denton and Collin counties.
