The Law Offices of Kevin A. Sunn: The Houston Estate Attorney Who Started in ERISA Retirement Law

Kevin Sunn’s legal career didn’t begin in wills and trusts — he started as an associate practicing ERISA law and retirement planning, a regulatory-heavy specialty that predates his 2000 launch into estate planning and gives his practice an unusually deep technical grounding in retirement-account rules most general estate attorneys pick up secondhand.

Origin and Background

The Law Offices of Kevin A. Sunn, P.L.L.C. is located at 2100 Travis Street, Suite 645, Houston, TX 77002, in the Central Square Building in Midtown just south of downtown, confirmed through the firm’s own site. Sunn earned a B.B.A. in Accounting from the University of Texas at Austin, a Master of Science in Accounting from the University of Houston Clear Lake, and his J.D. from South Texas College of Law in 1998, the same year he was licensed to practice in Texas. He holds board certification in Estate Planning and Probate Law from the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, independently confirmed through Lawyer Legion’s TBLS-sourced Harris County directory and his own Avvo biography.

Practice Concentration

The firm concentrates on estate planning, probate and estate administration, trust administration, and business law, serving clients across greater Houston, including Pearland, Pasadena, Baytown, Clear Lake, Conroe, Sugar Land, The Woodlands, Katy, Kingwood, and Galveston. Sunn’s dual accounting-and-tax background — a B.B.A. and M.S. in Accounting on top of his law degree — informs his approach to tax-sensitive estate structuring. See this Houston Estate Planning & Probate directory for how this accounting-informed solo practice compares to other Harris County firms in this category.

Notable Work / Track Record

As is typical for an estate planning, probate, and business law practice, the firm does not publish a table of case verdicts or settlements, and Awesome Attorneys did not identify one — this practice area centers on drafted plans and completed administrations rather than litigated outcomes. What is independently verifiable is Sunn’s TBLS board certification, his combined accounting and law credentials, and a documented practice history spanning three Houston-area office locations since 2000 as his firm grew to serve the wider metro.

Client Voice

Third-party directory aggregation describes clients consistently praising the firm’s professionalism, responsiveness, and dedication to favorable outcomes, and the firm’s Chamber of Commerce listing shows a perfect rating from its reviewers, though Awesome Attorneys was not able to independently pull individually attributed, verbatim quotes at the volume a larger firm might have. Awesome Attorneys did not identify a pattern of negative or critical reviews warranting disclosure, though the overall public review volume is modest relative to the firm’s 25-plus years in practice, a gap disclosed here.

Beyond the Courtroom

Sunn is a member of the State Bar of Texas, the Houston Bar Association, the Galveston County Bar Association, and local area Chambers of Commerce, reflecting a practice footprint built around serving Houston’s outer suburbs and Galveston County alongside the urban core. Awesome Attorneys did not identify separate non-legal civic or nonprofit board service documented for him.

Recognition for This Houston Estate Planning Attorney

Sunn’s Board Certification in Estate Planning and Probate Law from TBLS is independently confirmed through Lawyer Legion’s specialization directory and his own Avvo biography. Awesome Attorneys distinguishes this state-administered, examination-based credential from self-submitted marketing-directory badges and star ratings.

Texas Legal Backdrop

Retirement account beneficiary designations — a natural fit for Sunn’s ERISA and accounting background — generally pass outside of a will and outside of Texas probate entirely, meaning an outdated beneficiary form can override even a carefully drafted will if the two aren’t kept in sync. Texas has no state estate or inheritance tax, though the federal estate tax may still apply to larger estates depending on the exemption in effect in the year of death. Texas Estates Code Chapter 401 governs independent administration, letting a named executor act with minimal ongoing court supervision once appointed. None of this is legal advice; a specific estate or retirement-planning matter should be evaluated by a licensed Texas attorney based on the actual facts involved.

Awesome Attorneys Assessment

Kevin Sunn’s clearest differentiator is a genuinely unusual technical foundation — ERISA and retirement-plan law plus a master’s degree in accounting — layered underneath TBLS board certification in estate planning and probate, paired with a practice deliberately positioned to serve Houston’s outer counties, not just the urban core. The honest trade-off is a public review volume that’s thinner than the firm’s quarter-century tenure would suggest, a detail worth asking about directly. For a Houston-area (or Galveston-area) client whose estate plan is heavily intertwined with retirement account or business planning, a board-certified attorney with genuine accounting and ERISA depth is a reasonable basis for a shortlist.
