Estate Planner Licensed in Eight States!

Texas lawyer A.M. Nunley III was recently sworn into the Wyoming bar — his eighth state!

Here is what Nunley said as reported in I Pledge Allegiance to the Republic of Texas, 70 Tex. B.J. 845 (2007):

Despite garnering jokes from colleagues, the move to become licensed in so many states was a more practical one than Nunley will let on. “A lot of my clients have vacation homes in Colorado, others have oil and gas leases in Oklahoma, and I had a couple of clients who moved to New Mexico in the 1980s. I can still give those clients sensible advice about their estate planning, even though they are in another state.” * * *

Aside from being licensed in eight states, Nunley is a certified public accountant in each of those states, certified in estate planning and probate law and tax law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, certified in elder law by the National Elder Law Foundation, and has taken on several pro bono cases.

I am especially excited for A.M. as he was one of my students when he was in law school.  He tells me that he may next attempt to get licensed as an English barrister!
