About Arslan
Arslan Umarov built his legal foundation in two very different classrooms. He earned a Bachelor of Business Administration in International Business from the University of Memphis before completing a J.D. at Texas Tech University School of Law. Those degrees gave him a blend of commercial perspective and formal legal training.
After law school, Umarov moved into practice in the American Southwest. He is licensed to practice in Texas and New Mexico. Over time he has worked on matters that required attention to local rules and interstate practicalities. He brings a methodical approach to each file, breaking complex issues into manageable parts and communicating options clearly to clients.
Umarov’s education in international business informs how he thinks about transactional detail and contractual language. He treats documents as part of a larger business picture. That outlook extends to work that touches on contracts, regulatory requirements and commercial relationships. He prioritizes clarity in drafting and directness in negotiation.
Colleagues describe him as thorough in preparation and steady in the courtroom and at the negotiation table. He spends time reviewing facts and precedent before advising on next steps. He values practical solutions that reflect both legal risk and business realities. He also pays attention to procedural points that can determine the outcome of litigation or administrative matters.
Outside casework, Umarov follows developments in both Texas and New Mexico law. Being admitted in two states means he tracks changes in statutes and court decisions across multiple jurisdictions. That dual admission helps when clients have interests that cross state lines or when legal questions implicate different regulatory schemes.
He is currently an attorney at Jim Wood Law. There he handles matters for individuals and businesses based in the region, applying his educational background and courtroom experience to client problems. He currently focuses on serving clients in Texas and New Mexico through his work at Jim Wood Law.
