Killen & Dennis, PC

What Killen & Dennis, PC does

Killen & Dennis, PC is a Texas-based Professional Corporation and four-attorney full-service law firm headquartered at 104 S. Main Street, Burleson, Texas, serving the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex across Tarrant, Johnson, Dallas, and surrounding counties. The firm is owned and operated by its two founding partners, Koy R. Killen (practicing since 2001) and Clinton W. Dennis (over 15 years of practice), supported by Associate Attorneys Morgan Parker and Jeremiah Loar. The practice is structured as a traditional, partner-owned professional services firm with no outside institutional investors, no parent company, and no proprietary technology platform; all service delivery relies on direct attorney-client engagement via phone, email, and in-office consultations, with a free initial consultation offered to prospective clients.

The firm's offering spans six interlocking practice areas: Estate Planning (wills, trusts, asset protection, estate/gift tax planning, family limited partnerships, advance directives); Business & Corporate (entity formation, corporate governance, M&A in the $10M-$500M purchase price range, equity and debt financings, joint ventures, securities compliance, and ongoing outside general counsel for small and mid-size businesses); Probate & Trust Administration (including high-asset and intestate estates, will contests, and fiduciary litigation); Litigation (business, construction, employment, real estate, trade secret, probate, personal injury, and wrongful death matters in state and federal court); Contracts (negotiation, drafting, and dispute work across commercial, licensing, employment, NDAs, and web-services terms); and Real Estate (commercial and residential transactions, leases, loan documentation, and property disputes).

Revenue is generated through traditional legal services billing: hourly fees, fixed fees for defined matters, and contingent arrangements on litigation matters, with pricing not publicly disclosed and negotiated through consultation. The customer base is horizontal and SMB-weighted — primarily small and mid-size businesses requiring ongoing outside general counsel and transactional support, complemented by individuals and families needing estate planning, probate, real estate, and personal injury representation. Distribution is direct and geographically confined to North Texas, driven by attorney reputation, bar association memberships (Tarrant County Bar Association, Johnson County Bar Association where Dennis served as President in 2014, Tarrant County Probate Bar Association, Tarrant County Young Lawyers Association), and word-of-mouth referrals rather than technology-enabled sales channels.
