He later accepted a commission as a U.S. Air Force officer and served as a Staff Judge Advocate, earning multiple awards, including two Air Force Commendation Medals and the Air Force Achievement Medal. After being honorably discharged, he opened his practice in Dallas, became a partner in Landerman, Dunlap & Jacobs, and served as of counsel to White Hill, Sims and Wiggins. Mr. Dunlap has more than 45 years of litigation experience, including criminal defense, and now devotes much of his practice to estate planning, helping families protect assets and pass on wealth with confidence.
