For some time, my husband and I discussed our estate but never acted on setting one (a plan) up. We went to Justin’s seminar and had our questions answered in layman’s terms. There is a lot to know, and it was daunting. Justin made setting up our end of life plan, in detail, a very easy task. He is the expert on these matters, and we felt that he could best take care of us. He did! It took the step on our part to finally get this off our plate and into the hands of this very competent individual and his staff. Thank you, Justin!
Diana and Jordan Clay - Prosper, TX
After attending a presentation, I took advantage of the free hour Justin offered at his office. We reviewed several topics and decided an Irrevocable Trust was my most current need. Justin was very helpful with suggestions as we defined the details. He never pressured me to get additional services and was very pleasant to work with. I would highly recommend Justin for any legal help you may need.

Thank you so much for all of your help with our estate planning and revocable living trust. You made us feel very comfortable explaining our options and giving us suggestions.

Don and Linda Longfellow - Frisco, TX
After years of procrastinating, I attended a seminar to learn about wills & living trusts presented by Crain & Wooley. I liked what I was hearing (at the seminar) and took advantage of the 1 hour free consultation. It was a pleasure working with Justin. He clearly explained trusts, wills, etc. and always made me feel comfortable. I would refer friends and family to Justin without hesitation.

Justin Crain did my trust recently, and I felt that he did an outstanding job in a timely manner. He was an excellent listener and made me feel much more at ease about what I thought would be a daunting task. He was very thorough and made sure that we took care of every last detail.

I want to say the whole process we went through was nothing I expected. It was better! Justin was attentive to our questions, comments and concerns. He answered all of them on a level that Kathie and I could understand. This was a very important accomplishment in our lives that needed to be done, and it was very easy to take care of. I would and will point all my friends seeking this service to Justin without hesitation. It was simple, and it took a load off our minds and hearts as well. Thank you, Justin for the job you’ve done.
Bobby Hamm - Garland, TX
My husband and I had been talking about getting our will updated and putting an estate plan together so our family would know exactly what to do and not have to worry after we're gone. We were invited, by a friend, to attend a dinner workshop on estate planning - just what we needed! This is where we met Justin Crain with Crain & Wooley. We made an appointment to see him and began putting our plan together. Mr. Crain and his staff were extremely efficient and kept us on track. He was detailed and thorough in explaining the steps we needed to take and how to implement them. We wholeheartedly recommend Justin Crain and his firm.
Gayle Stoumbaugh - Carrollton, TX
We can recommend Mr. Crain to anyone thinking of planning their estate. After attending his seminar, we knew that had to have professional guidance in planning our estate. After working with Mr. Crain, we feel secure that our portfolio is the way it should be, and that if there should be any changes we can call on him. Thank you to you and your staff!

I would like to thank Justin Crain and his staff for their diligence in helping us establish a plan to protect our assets, and make the process easier for our heirs going forward.

We would highly recommend Justin for anyone in need of estate planning.

Justin took plenty of time to answer all of our questions that we had concerning our estate in a kind and patient manner. We would definitely recommend Justin for estate planning.”
Lloyd and Janet Jones - Richardson, Texas
“We are glad we attended Justin Crain’s Lewisville presentation last October. We had a Living Trust in place at the time, but felt it would be beneficial to have Justin review it. Indeed, we could do better. We found Justin to be thorough, considerate, and knowledgeable. He rewrote our Living Trust and put in place a trust for the benefit of one of our children. Justin always answered all questions promptly, thoroughly and with precision. He responded to all messages in a timely manner. Even after the documents were executed. The “Attorney for Life” feature of Justin’s firm will greatly benefit my wife and I as well as our heirs. We highly recommend Justin Crain for anyone needing Estate planning.”
Michael D. Garner - Lewisville, Texas.
“Being a senior citizen – I needed to get my affairs in order (Will, DNR, Power of Attorney, etc). Justin Crain was very helpful in understanding. He was very detailed and efficient. I was very pleased with the results.”
Ann Johannes - Tinley Park, Illinois
“I met Justin Crain at an informational seminar on estate planning in December 2016. The session provided an excellent overview of estate planning with enough detail to explain the process without overwhelming the audience. As a result of the seminar, I booked an appointment with Mr. Crain. There were no surprises or hidden fees at the actual appointment. It was just as he said it would be. Mr. Crain was very patient and explained each document, what was required, and why. He did not rush me through the process and I felt comfortable taking as much time as needed. I read every document in the package – about 100 pages – before signing. I have my estate notebook, as mentioned in the informational seminar, catered to my specific needs. It was a pleasure working with Mr. Crain and his staff.”
Jacqueline R. Cooper - McKinney, Texas
“We are just a typical retired couple trying to make the best of our retirement on a very meager Social Security Income. When God chooses to take us from this Earth, we have wishes and desires concerning our Estate and our children. Unfortunately, we procrastinated on getting our affairs in order because of expense, and it really just seemed like too big a deal! Then we received an invitation to a free lunch and seminar. We needed some direction and answers to our questions and of course, a free lunch! There we met Justin T. Crain, Attorney with Thomas Walters, PLLC, and a homegrown West Texas boy graduating from Texas Tech in Lubbock. Being from Lubbock ourselves, we just really clicked with Justin. He seems very sincere about wanting to help us to fulfill our needs and wishes concerning our Estate and he is willing to work with us financially. He has walked us through a simple process and has provided us with an affordable customized plan to fit our needs and desires. Thanks to Justin’s expertise and his willingness to listen and spend time with us, we now have peace of mind that the handling of our Estate will not be a burden for our children and our desires will be met. We have placed our trust and confidence in Justin and will highly recommend him and his services to everyone!”

“We first met Justin at a lunch seminar and were impressed at his review of current Texas laws governing wills. Coming from New York via Florida our documents needed updating. Justin provided clear direction on how to proceed. The drafts were comprehensive and timely. We had a final sit down at signing going over all our questions. We recommend his program to all.”
Joseph P. Novarro - Frisco, Texas

“Getting this trust is the best thing in 48 years we have done. We now have peace of mind knowing our daughters will have no question or problem upon our passing. All information is very clear of what we want. Justin made it very easy for us with no work on our part except getting him the papers he asked for."
Mike and Carolyn Dickey - Dallas, Texas
“Pat and I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for assisting us through the estate planning process! We had been postponing it because we thought it would be difficult and time-consuming. However, you and your staff were available for questions and we appreciated how quick and simple you made the experience! Again, thank you so much!”
Pat and Karen L. Desmond - Plano, Texas
“The relationship with Justin Crain began when I received a mailing advertising a seminar on wills and trusts. I had already decided that I was going to have to create a trust since probating a will was time consuming and expensive. I attended Justin’s seminar and by the end of it, I decided to proceed with the trust and promptly made the initial appointment. Justin explained in detail how the trust would work and what he needed from me. He made every effort to explain the process and quickly answered my questions. When the final documents were signed, I felt a great sense of relief since I had delayed far too long. In a nutshell, Justin and his staff did a great job. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an estate planning attorney.”
Clifton Bowlby - Garland, Texas

Mark and Brenda Hammett - Lewisville, Texas
“Mr. Crain has been very responsive and thorough to all my questions. He is knowledgeable to all things related to estate planning. I look forward to continuing to have him as my attorney for any future estate planning items.”
Eartha Wang - Frisco, Texas
"Our estate planning needs were a much discussed topic between my wife and I, but, like most things on the list-of-things-that-need-to-be-done-eventually, not much progress was being made toward that aim. We weren’t sure of which legal specialty we needed to consult for the planning we needed to do, and, in fact, did not know what precisely needed to be done. And, we didn’t know any lawyers aside from those we were acquainted with through business relationships. Fortunately, we took advantage of an invitation to dinner to hear Justin Crain speak on the subject of estate planning and were immediately impressed by his professionalism and the depth of knowledge he brought to bear on the subject. After a brief chat with Justin following his formal presentation, we were more than comfortable with his expertise. We made the decision to engage him to complete our planning. Justin completed the work in a timely and efficient manner and we couldn’t be happier with the result. We look forward to working with Justin in the future if our situation changes or estate planning needs evolve."
Forrest and Beverly McCollum - Dallas, Texas
"Doug and I first met Mr. Crain at one of his dinner seminars. He presented information regarding estate planning in a way that was easily understood by the “lay” person. Mr. Crain made sure that he listened to all of our needs and requests that we wanted to be in our trust. After our trust was completed, Doug and I have comfort that our children have a plan in place to handle our estate."
Karon and Doug Lankford - Mesquite, TX
