About the Firm

Led by an attorney who thinks in systems, not just statutes.

Urithi Law, PLLC was founded by Dr. Shema T. Freeman, Esq. — an attorney whose path to estate planning ran through materials science, patent examination, and years spent inside the mechanics of how things are built to last. That engineering instinct now shapes how she builds estate plans: not as a stack of documents, but as a structure engineered to hold up under real-world stress, probate courts, and family dynamics.

The firm helps individuals and families in Texas and Florida protect what they've built through wills, trusts, probate administration, and thoughtful real estate structuring — with a particular focus on strategies that keep families out of probate court altogether.

The Name

Urithi

noun · Swahili

“Inheritance.” Not only what is passed down in assets, but in intention, structure, and care. The firm's name is also its promise: that your legacy is designed on purpose, not left to chance — or to probate court.

What We Do

Four ways we help you build and protect.

01

Estate Planning

Wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and incapacity planning built around how your family actually lives — and designed to avoid probate, not just delay it.

02

Probate & Estate Administration

Guidance for families navigating the probate process after a loss, and administration support to settle an estate with clarity and care.

03

Wealth Preservation

Long-term strategies for protecting assets across generations, so what you build compounds for your family instead of eroding through avoidable loss.

04

Real Estate Law

Proper titling, entity structuring, and transaction support — because how property is held determines whether it passes smoothly or gets stuck in court.

“An LLC or a will alone doesn't avoid probate — only proper titling and a funded trust do.” — Dr. Shema T. Freeman, Esq., Founder, Urithi Law
