Genevieve Gebheim McLeod ~ Attorney. Advocate. Wife. Mother. Founder.

Genevieve "Genna" Gebheim McLeod practiced law with a deep commitment to the people who trusted her with their families, their futures, and some of the most difficult moments of their lives. She believed good advocacy began with understanding the whole problem—not just the legal question in front of her—and she was known for looking closely, listening carefully, and building a thoughtful path forward.

 

A graduate with honors from Mississippi College School of Law, Genna began her career clerking for the Supreme Court of Mississippi. Her practice would come to include estate planning, family law, personal injury, and litigation, but the common thread was always people. In her own words, the firm's purpose was to use the law "to protect the health, welfare, and families of our clients."

 

Genna and Mark eventually brought their family and practice home to South Texas, drawn back to what she affectionately described as a life among "the live oaks and friendly folks," borrowing the phrase from the city motto for Pleasanton, Texas. Together they built Gebheim McLeod around the belief that clients deserved not only capable representation, but attorneys willing to understand what was truly at stake.

 

Outside her law practice, Genna was a wife, a mother of three, a friend deeply loved by many—and, somewhat wonderfully, a go-kart enthusiast and team manager. Her life was much larger than a résumé or list of cases. Her warmth, determination, curiosity, and fierce loyalty that she brought to her family and friends were the same qualities she brought to those she represented.

 

Genna's death left a profound absence in her family, her friendships, and the firm she helped create. But what she built remains fundamental to Gebheim McLeod: listen closely, understand deeply, and use your experience to protect what matters.
