Practice Areas: Probate

John Russell DeVoss was born in Fort Wayne, Indiana in 1969. He is a fifth generation lawyer, along with his two brothers, in the DeVoss family.. John attended Adams Central High School in Monroe, Indiana where he was an accomplished three-sport athlete, lettering in football, basketball, and track. At the completion of his high school career, John was awarded the President’s Cup Athlete of the Year by the United States Armed Forces for his overall success and achievement as an athlete.. John followed his number one passion of football to Southern Methodist University in 1988. He had a successful collegiate football career playing in the Southwest Conference as a two-year starter at wide receiver for the Mustangs. John won the prestigious “M” Association Award presented annually to the player who shows the characteristics of hard work, determination and team spirit typical of lettermen. John graduated in 1993 with a bachelor of science degree in engineering management.. Like his father and grandfather before him, John attended Valparaiso University School of Law in northwest Indiana just outside the suburbs of Chicago. He focused on a track of study emphasizing trial work and litigation where he could expound upon the competitive nature and zeal developed during his years in athletics. John was a law clerk for several local litigation firms for each of his three years of education. He spent his summers in Dallas interning for two local prominent trial lawyers and the civil litigation division of the Dallas City Attorney’s Office. In addition to his studies and work, John participated in the civil trial advocacy clinic during his third year of law school representing the underprivilaged in northwest Indiana poverty-stricken areas.. After sitting for the Texas bar examination, John entered the workforce in Dallas, initially working downtown for a civil litigation defense firm. His work involved a variety of civil areas including contract negotiation, business litigation, and consumer trial proceedings. Realizing that he desired to be in private practice, John left the firm and reached out to his former colleague and friend Jeffrey Smith. In April of 1999, John and Jeff founded Smith DeVoss, P.L.L.C.. John is a no-nonsense negotiator and has handled a heavy docket of civil and commercial litigation cases, criminal cases and corporate and real estate matters throughout his private practice career. In his ever present desire and drive to professionally enhance his skills as an attorney, John has handled a broad spectrum of both litigation and transactional cases in nearly every field of law from real estate to oil & gas to commercial construction disputes and bad faith insurance litigation. John has represented consumers in family law cases, criminal cases involving both petty misdemeanors and serious felony offenses, and was even a licensed NFL sports agent for nearly seven (7) years. Having tried over fifty (50) cases to a jury verdict in his lifetime, John enjoys the competitive nature of the court room as much as he does sitting down at the negotiation table and resolving a dispute or finalizing the terms of a contract. John’s diverse background make him the ideal candidate to represent corporations or other business entities of all sizes and he fancies himself as the “captive corporate counsel” for those companies that he represents.. John resides with his family in Keller, TX and is active in coaching in multiple local youth sports associations. He enjoys golfing, hunting and fishing in his free-time.

Firm: Babb, Reed & Leak, PLLC

4131 Spicewood Springs Rd., Bldg. G-2 , Austin , Texas 78759

Practice Areas: Probate

Joe Babb has been practicing law in Austin since 1985. Starting his practice just in time for the great Texas real estate depression of the 1980s following the savings and loan crisis, Joe by necessity learned how to be creative in resolving difficult legal issues related to troubled real estate loans and disintegrating partnerships. Joe has also handled literally thousands of collection matters for large and small creditors, including those involving straight breach of contract claims, fraud, real estate fraud, and racketeering. Joe brings that hard-earned experience to his clients in his areas of practice, listed below.. Joe started working with REALTORS® in law school, and hasn’t stopped. He worked on creating the original form documents for the Texas Association of REALTORS® and the Austin Board of REALTORS®. Joe continues those relationships today, working closely with REALTOR® associations, REALTORS®, and their clients. If it touches real estate, Joe has probably worked on it. He has worked on many and varied commercial and residential real estate transactions, and has also handled the litigation which sometimes, unfortunately, arises from those transactions. He knows every deal is different, every deal is special to his clients, and every deal can come unraveled if not properly structured.. Working so closely with real estate, Joe also knows the value of estate planning and taking care of your family’s assets in times of difficulty and for succeeding generations. You need a will and powers of attorney to handle those assets and for making medical decisions. In some special circumstances trusts or other arrangements, such as LLCs or family limited partnerships, are appropriate for handling your assets. Joe can help you assess your needs and prepare for the future.
