In 2010, Mr. Ford achieved the highest distinction available to an attorney practicing in the area of estate planning and probate in Texas. He became Board Certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, which is a coveted recognition bestowed on only the few attorneys, less than 2% of all licensed attorneys in Texas, who have demonstrated special competence in this area of law and who have received recommendations from fellow attorneys and judges with whom they have worked. In 2009, Mr. Ford completed the required course-work to become certified to serve as a mediator. In pursuit of this distinction, Mr. Ford attended the world-renowned Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution at the Pepperdine University School of Law in Malibu, California. He attended this intensive course with the goal of being able to conduct mediations in probate and guardianship cases, as few mediators in Texas specialize in these areas. In 2006, Mr. Ford was appointed by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Texas to serve on the Guardianship Certification Board, which is a 15-member board that creates policy and oversees the regulation of private professional guardians in the State of Texas. At the inaugural meeting of the GCB, Mr. Ford was elected as the Chair of the Rules Committee, where he has served with distinction since that time. Mr. Ford’s recent distinctions are reflective of a dedication to the areas of estate planning, probate, and guardianship that began early in his education. In law school, Mr. Ford was fortunate to be able to concentrate his education in estate planning and business planning, not unlike a major in undergraduate school. His concentration in estate planning and business planning involved a curriculum designed around an in-depth study of those areas. Mr. Ford graduated from Baylor University with degrees in Accounting and Law. He has also completed several post-graduate courses at Baylor in pursuit of a Masters in Taxation. Don was designated a Super Lawyer in 2025 by Thomson Reuters, is a fellow of the Houston Bar Foundation, has served as Commissioner since 2014 on the Texas Judicial Branch Certification Commission, and was Editorial Board Member, 1999 to 2010, for The Houston Lawyer Magazine. He is the founding attorney of Ford + Bergner LLP which celebrated it's 25th year in 2025.

The daughter of a modern-day wildcatter and a day trader, both of whom are business owners, I grew up in Houston surrounded by business risk and the “ups and downs” of the oil and gas industry. So, it is no surprise I am considered very business-minded when it comes to advising my clients, whether it is about the acquisition of another company, the purchase of real estate, the negotiation of a commercial lease, or the setting up of a new business venture. While in law school, I gained valuable experience interning with the second largest CPA firm in the United States, the federal government, and a national non-profit organization. I spent my last year of law school as a Shapiro Fellow at the Securities and Exchange Commission. While there, I worked on high-profile securities litigation cases and investigations, and in some cases right alongside the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Justice, and the Internal Revenue Service. Upon graduation from law school, I went to work for a major accounting firm where I assisted major Houston oil and gas clients with international taxation transactions. I received my Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting and General Business from Texas Tech University. Upon graduation, I was awarded “highest ranking graduate” from the Rawls College of Business. After completing undergraduate studies, I attended The George Washington University Law School where I received my Juris Doctorate in 2014. Upon graduation, I was awarded the Presidential Volunteer Service Award for extensive pro bono work with the homeless and unemployed in the heart of Washington, D.C. While handling multiple large acquisitions for a Fortune 200 company at the same time, I went back to school to obtain my L.L.M. and a Certificate in International Taxation from Georgetown University. Upon graduation, I was once again recognized for pro bono work in my local community. I am a managing partner with Quadros, Migl & Crosby PLLC, a growing boutique Texas business law firm with four locations throughout the state.
