Payton Conklin

Payton has been an attorney since 2026. She graduated from Liberty Christian School in 2016, and she completed her undergraduate degree from Texas A&M University, Cum Laude in 2020. She received her Juris Doctor from Southern Methodist University Dedman School of Law in 2026.

Prior to law school, Payton worked in subcontract management at Lockheed Martin for three years, where she discovered her talent for skills that led her to pursue a legal career. During law school, Payton interned with Hogue Barnett over her summer breaks, and she externed with the firm during her final semester. Because Payton discovered her passion for estate planning, she was able to prioritize taking trust, probate, tax, and real estate classes and seeking estate planning opportunities during law school.

Payton and her husband, Mason, have been married since 2022, though they met during their first week at Texas A&M. Because family is one of her top values, Payton understands the importance of estate planning for her clients. She is committed to helping clients make thoughtful decisions today that provide peace of mind for themselves and the people they love.

Payton considers it a privilege to practice law in a faith-based firm that seeks to reflect its values through the way it serves others. She appreciates the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals and families, approaching each client relationship with compassion and integrity.
