A note from Cara
Hi! I’m Cara L. Hernandez, and I founded the Law Office of Cara L. Hernandez, PLLC with one simple goal: to make the legal process feel less overwhelming and more human.

My passion for the law started close to home. I watched my grandparents take proactive steps in their own estate planning, ensuring that their wishes were honored and that our family had peace of mind. Their thoughtful approach showed me how powerful the law can be when it’s used to protect loved ones and create stability for the future. That experience shaped the way I practice today — with compassion, clarity, and a commitment to helping others feel secure and supported.

For parents, estate planning brings an additional layer of peace of mind — the ability to nominate guardians for your children so that, if something happens to you, the right people will have the legal authority to care for and raise them. Knowing your family will be cared for the way you intend is one of the most important gifts you can leave behind.

I see every client as more than just a case. You’re a person with hopes, challenges, and a life to live. My role is to handle the legal work so you can focus on what truly matters to you.

“Clients aren’t cases. They’re people with goals, pressures, and timelines. My job is to take on the legal work so you can get back to your life.”

What I Do

My practice is devoted to estate planning, helping individuals and families across Texas protect what matters most.

Estate planning is not just about documents — it’s about organization, communication, and peace of mind. A well-crafted plan keeps your affairs in order, makes your wishes clear, and spares your family the stress of uncertainty. It opens the door for conversations that bring families closer and ensures that your loved ones know exactly how to carry out your intentions.

My estate planning services include:

  • Wills — ensuring your wishes are clear, organized, and legally enforceable.

  • Trusts — providing flexibility, privacy, and protection for your assets.

  • Powers of attorney — appointing trusted individuals to act on your behalf when needed.

  • Advance healthcare directives — making sure your medical choices are respected and communicated.

  • Nomination of guardian for minor children — giving you peace of mind that, if something happens to you, the right people will have the legal authority to raise your children.

  • Comprehensive legacy planning — strategies that reflect your values, protect your family, and provide long-term peace of mind.

Whether you’re just starting a family, planning for retirement, or caring for aging parents, my goal is to help you feel confident, prepared, and at peace — knowing that your loved ones will have guidance when it matters most.
