Jamie Katzen (jamiekatzen)

For many families, planning for the future requires trusted legal guidance, and Jamie Katzen has built his career around providing that support. With more than fifteen years of experience practicing trusts and estates law in Dallas, Texas, he advises clients on estate planning, tax matters, and strategies that help preserve family wealth. As a partner at Katzen Fooshee, PLLC, he is dedicated to helping individuals create practical legal plans that protect their assets while preparing for future generations.

Jamie recognizes that every estate planning matter reflects a family's unique circumstances. Financial goals, personal values, and family dynamics often influence the decisions clients must make. Instead of applying the same approach to every situation, he takes the time to understand each client's objectives before recommending legal strategies. This individualized process helps ensure that every estate plan reflects the priorities of the people it is designed to serve.

His practice spans several important areas within trusts and estates law. Jamie provides legal counsel involving trusts and estates, asset protection, family wealth preservation, estate and trust administration, probate administration, and tax mitigation. His broad experience enables him to assist clients with both proactive planning and the legal responsibilities that arise after the passing of a loved one. Throughout every matter, he focuses on delivering practical guidance that supports sound decision-making.

Jamie believes that legal advice should always be accessible and understandable. Estate planning frequently involves complicated legal rules and tax considerations, but he strives to explain every recommendation in clear language. By encouraging clients to ask questions and participate in discussions, he creates an environment where important decisions can be made with greater confidence. This commitment to communication has become one of the defining characteristics of his professional approach.

Jamie's educational achievements have prepared him to address the legal and tax issues associated with estate planning. He earned a Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Taxation from Southern Methodist University's Dedman School of Law in 2012. Before pursuing advanced tax studies, he earned his Juris Doctor (J.D.) from St. Mary's University School of Law in 2008 after completing a Bachelor of Arts at the University of Kansas in 2005. His academic background strengthens his ability to provide comprehensive legal guidance.

A meaningful milestone in Jamie's career came with five years as a partner at Katzen Fooshee, PLLC. This achievement reflects years of dedication, consistent client service, and professional growth. It also represents the trust and confidence placed in him by the firm, his colleagues, and the individuals and families who rely on his legal advice.

Service beyond the legal profession remains important to Jamie. He has volunteered with Meals on Wheels, the North Texas Food Bank, and Operation Kindness, supporting organizations that provide valuable community support. He also serves as a board member of Congregation Shearith Israel, where he offers leadership and remains actively involved in the organization's ongoing work.

Born in London, England, and raised in Dallas, Texas, Jamie has established deep roots in the community where he practices law. He and his wife are raising twin boys, and family life remains one of his highest priorities. When he is away from work, he enjoys golf, tennis, skiing, travel, cooking, history, historical fiction, and following the Dallas Cowboys.

Jamie Katzen continues to distinguish himself through thoughtful legal planning, personalized client service, and a commitment to helping families prepare for the future.
