Gray Reed Partner Jeff Watters was named Best Probate Attorney in OutSmart Magazine’s 27th Annual Gayest & Greatest Readers’ Choice Awards.
At Gray Reed, Watters focuses on trusts and estates litigation and administration matters for clients throughout Texas. His litigation practice is largely devoted to resolving fiduciary duty claims arising from the administration of trusts and estates, a unique and challenging area of law where significant dollar amounts are typically at stake and no two cases are ever alike. He also takes lead on a variety of traditional estate litigation matters, including will contests, will interpretation suits and accounting disputes.
Outside of the firm, Watters demonstrates his commitment to the LGBTQ+ community through his involvement in various legal organizations.
He’s currently co-chair of the Houston Bar Association LGBTQ+ Committee. Watters is also co-chair of Lambda Legal’s Houston Leadership Council, a local chapter of the oldest and largest national organization in the country with the mission to advance the civil rights of LGBTQ people through high-impact litigation, education and public-policy work. He also was recognized in 2023 as one of the 40 Best LGBTQ+ Lawyers under 40 by The National LGBTQ+ Bar Association.
All of the winners of the Gayest & Greatest Readers’ Choice Awards will be listed in the October 2024 edition of OutSmart Magazine.
