Uhl, Fitzsimons, Jewett, Burton, Wolff & Rangel, PLLC

The attorneys at Uhl, Fitzsimons, Jewett, Burton, Wolff & Rangel, PLLC, bring to their practices a unique combination of deep ties to San Antonio and South Texas, together with experience outside of Texas, to provide a well-rounded team of advisors. The firm was founded in 2005 when Arthur Uhl and Shelly Jewett formed Uhl & Jewett, P.C. Arthur and Shelly first worked together in the real estate department at Matthews and Branscomb, P.C. Arthur had been with Matthews and Branscomb for his entire legal career, while Shelly had started her practice in Southern California before returning home to San Antonio in 2000. In 2006 Joseph Fitzsimons, Arthur's childhood friend and law school classmate, brought his oil, gas and mineral law practice to the firm to form Uhl, Fitzsimons & Jewett, PLLC. The synergies of the energy and real estate practices were quickly apparent, as the firm's land and mineral owner clients were able to benefit from the combined areas of expertise. After a long search for the perfect match, the firm brought in associates Trace Burton and Alex Sostre in 2007. Trace had practiced in San Antonio prior to joining UFJ&B, while Alex had practiced in Miami. With the recent increase in oil and gas activity, the firm added Robert Park, a recent St. Mary's grad, in 2011, Ezra Johnson, who had practiced in San Antonio prior to joining the firm, in 2012, and Parks Brown, another recent St. Mary's grad, in 2013. In June 2013, the firm changed its name to Uhl, Fitzsimons, Jewett & Burton, PLLC in recognition of Trace Burton's valued leadership and contributions to the firm as it continues to grow and meet the needs of South Texas business and land owners. In light of Ezra Johnson's contributions to the firm, he was named a partner in July 2014. Alex Sostre was named a partner in the commercial real estate transactions department in January 2015. In March 2018, the firm expanded into a new practice area, Estate and Business Planning, and named Harry W. Wolff III as a partner to the firm. In April 2018, Harry W. Wolff, Jr. joined the firm and our name changed to Uhl, Fitzsimons, Jewett, Burton & Wolff, PLLC. Harry Wolff, Jr., brings over 35 years of experience to the practice in advising clients on estate planning and probate issues, federal transfer tax matters and controversies, asset protection and private wealth planning, business succession planning, and nonprofit formation and governance issues. Robert Park was named partner in the oil and gas department in January 2019, In June 2019, the firm expanded again with the addition of Jaime S. Rangel who joined the firm as partner and head of the firm's litigation practice group, and our name changed to Uhl, Fitzsimons, Jewett, Burton, Wolff & Rangel, PLLC (Uhl Fitzsimons).
