With more than 30 years experience as an entrepreneur, John understands what it takes to build a successful business. He has seen other businesses falter when not legally protected.
Creating a legal business entity correctly is the first step in securing and protecting your personal and business assets. Having the appropriate operating agreements, learning about reporting requirements, and understanding employment law is paramount.
John is here to ensure you can focus on your business without worry and can help mitigate risks to your livelihood and those of your employees.

Each individual should be able to determine who receives their assets after they pass away. Without your wishes outlined in legal documents (Wills, Trusts, Estate Plans, etc.), state law will prevail and determine how the assets will be dispersed. These legal documents will lessen the stress load and lighten the burdens on those left behind.
Beyond planning ahead, it is important to communicate your wishes in terms of medical care should you become unable to make your own decisions. Living Wills and Powers of Attorney can make things easier on those tasked with making medical and financial decisions on your behalf.
In short, these documents ensure peace of mind now and in the future for you and your loved ones.

Each child deserves to have their best interest advocated for in court when a petition of dependency and neglect is filed.
As a former foster-turned-adoptive parent, John saw first-hand how a Guardian Ad Litem (GAL) can truly cut through the noise and advocate for the child’s best interest.
This prompted John to focus on Juvenile Court procedure during law school and study with multiple mentors concentrating on children in crisis.
Currently accepting GAL appointments from the Williamson County Juvenile Court and Private Dependency & Neglect petitions.
Adopting a child is a wonderful thing. It can also be confusing and frustrating to navigate the court process of turning your love for a child into a legal custody arrangement.
John is acutely familiar with those sentiments as he and his wife navigated the process and adopted a large sibling group from State’s custody.
His personal experience and legal knowledge can help guide others as they go through the process of adoption.

“I am generally not a fan of lawyers. However, John Peppers proved to be the exception to the rule. I was in a situation with a company full of lawyers who were not going to bend; even after admitting their mistake. John was able to broker a deal quickly and efficiently, making far more than I would have made on my own, with a reasonable fee. It’s nice to know someone like him is on your side when it seems like the rest of the world is out to get you.”

“John Peppers generated a will and living will for me as if they were the most important documents he'd created that week. Thorough and professional, John treated me with kindness and respect and gave me all the time I needed to make sure I was happy with the results. Good lawyer, good guy.”

“Johnny is responsive, patient, helpful, and reasonable - four simple adjectives not always associated with an attorney. He was helpful in setting up my LLC and working through the decisions and issues. He came highly recommended from a colleague, and I recommend his services, too.”
