"A Great Experience for Me"

I asked my friend Karen if she had an attorney that did wills. She became excited and told me about a group of fantastic attorneys who took care of me. I called Crain and Wooley, spoke to a lovely sweet welcoming young lady, Jessica, who gave me an appointment the following Monday. I was helped by Thomas Hendrix, a known attorney, with a delightful personality.

My final meeting was with a notary and two witnesses. This has been a great experience for me. I definitely recommend them.

"Very knowledgeable and helpful"

We found Justin to be very knowledgeable and helpful to us on the subjects of trusts and estate planning. He was easy with which to work.

In the short time since finishing our work, I have already personally recommended him to two others, and I intend to continue doing so.

"Finally got an estate plan after years of procrastination, mainly from fear…fear of the process. The fear disappeared as we had our initial meeting with Shelly."

Finally got an estate plan after years of procrastination, mainly from fear…fear of the process. The fear disappeared as we had our initial meeting with Shelly. After a few minutes, Shelly had collected the information necessary to begin the estate plan. A few days later, we received the plan to go over and make any changes. We met (via) video call to have any questions answered, and they were answered in a very understandable way leave no doubt about the meaning of the verbiage in the plan. We mad an appointment for the following week to sign. The signing was actually kinda fun…Shelly is really funny!

"Justin and his team were a pleasure to work with."

My wife and I attended an educational session on Estate Planning presented by Justin Crain. His presentation included real-life examples of pitfalls and problems encountered by many people over the years when confronted with Probate complications due to a lack of proper Estate Planning.

We met Justin shortly after the session and began the process of putting together an Estate Plan to meet our needs. From the initial consultation through the information gathering, sharing and eventual close meeting the process was very easy. Questions were addressed on a timely basis, and we felt that 7our experience was important to them. Justin and his team were a pleasure to work with and their secure site for sharing information made the journey that much easier.

There is a sense of relief knowing we have an Estate Plan that will smooth the transition of our assets when the time comes.

"Very reasonable"

We met Justin Crain and Joy Crosby at a seminar on estate planning and discussed a need to update our family trust. He said he would be happy to help and quoted a very reasonable fee. It took two short visits to his office and within a few weeks, the process was complete. It is comforting to know we have the Crain & Wooley team to turn to if we need additional help. Thank you, Justin, Joy & Brianna.

"We are extremely happy"

For a number of years, we procrastinated doing wills – too expensive, too complicated, unsure whom we could trust. After attending a will/trust presentation by Justin Crain, we decided that those excuses might not apply any longer. We are extremely happy that we made that decision. The cost was far less than we ever anticipated. Mr. Crain made the whole process easy and understandable. He, also, made us feel very comfortable and even more important – we felt important! People like us on limited incomes often feel like no one cares what happens to us, our wish or the loved ones we leave behind. Well, Justin Crain dismissed our fears and anxiety that makes the ending of our lives bearable and peaceful.

"We were very impressed with Mr. Wooley’s presentation."

We accepted a dinner invitation from Jacob Wooley to learn more about estate planning. We had been interested in setting up a trust for a long time. His presentation was very professional, and he explained in great detail the pros and cons of estate planning. We were very impressed with Mr. Wooley’s presentation he explained everything in terms everyone could understand. We signed up for an appointment and met him a few days later at this office. After he explained everything to us, and answered all our questions we made the decision to have him set up our trust fund. We met a few weeks later to sign and finalize all the documents. Everything was done to our satisfaction and was put in a beautiful notebook that we could add all our important information and documents to make it easier for our children. I would recommend Jacob Wooley for any of your legal needs.

"She is patient, pleasant, and kind."

Our experience with Miss Shelly Joyner has been positive on all levels. We understood at our first meeting that she is knowledgeable in her field. When we expressed our wishes, she worked with us ‘til we were satisfied. When we came across legal terms we were not familiar with, she carefully explained and we appreciate that. She is patient, pleasant, and kind. If any of our family or friends express needs of this type we will gladly recommend Shelly to them. We thank you, Shelly.

"Strong Sense of Peace & That Every Thing Had Been Addressed"

I am pleased to recommend Crain & Wooley for trust work. As with any new endeavor there were many unknowns and uncertainties. Justin patiently took Nancy and me through the process, addressing them all, including the repeats, We had some exceptional issues we may face several years along, and Justin laid out a plan how they might be addressed at the right time. We were able to conclude the trust-creation process with strong sense of peace & that everything had been addressed and that there were multiple paths forward for the future. C&W's costs were reasonable for the work they did. Whatever was needed they made it happen.

My wife and I greatly appreciated the legal services received from Attorney Justin Crain of Crain & Wooley and their associates in advising us in re-drafting our California Living Trust and related documents to comply with Texas law. As a retired attorney, I appreciate the time and professionalism extended to my wife & myself in accounting for our wishes upon death, disability, and medical care and legally protecting our assets and personal well-being.

We first met Justin Crain during one of his free educational estate planning seminars. He presented the material for estate planning in a thorough yet easy to understand process. We signed up immediately after the seminar. At our initial sit-down meeting with Justin, he was so helpful in just listening to our situation first and foremost. He was so incredibly patient and helpful in revieing what we wanted and providing information when we were not sure about what we wanted.

The entire process can be stressful but with the help of Justin and team, we are so happy to have chosen them for our estate planning needs. We highly recommend Justin Crain and his team!

From my first call to the final actions, the preparation of my family living trust was handled in the most professional manner. During the signing procedure, conducted by Mr. Rogers, things were explained in a manner that I could understand. I was provided with the recorded deed to our property.

"You (Shelly) and the staff at Crain & Wooley were so very easy to work with."

(Shelly) I want to thank you for working with me to prepare my Living Trust documents and portfolio. I’ve meant to do this for a long time. I even ordered a do-it-yourself kit online; however, I realized this was too important to attempt it myself. I’m very thankful a friend invited me to attend a Crain & Wooley seminar to hear the presentation on the many benefits of developing a Living Trust portfolio in lieu of probating my will upon my death. I wanted to lessen the burden on my children when my time comes to go home to my Lord. The Living Trust method will be much easier and considerably cheaper in the long run when considering the extra expense of hiring an attorney to probate my will, not to mention the months it would take to even get on a probate court docket.

You (Shelly) and the staff at Crain & Wooley were so very easy to work with. I truly appreciate you taking the time to explain each step of the process to me and my children in a manner we could understand. I know I made the right decision, and I can truly say I can sleep better knowing everything is taken care of.

"I recommend her and the firm with confidence."

Ms. Joyner was professional, thoughtful and efficient. Our family found ourselves in need of legal representation after the passing of our mother because she had not fully updated her account to place them in her trust. Her knowledge of probate, the procedures, and the local court was evident. I felt prepared, and we were able to achieve our goal in a timely manner. Because Ms. Joyner handled the probate case well, we will continue to use her services as we work to settle the estate. I recommend her and the firm with confidence.

- Loretta Cabuyadao

"He is very knowledgeable of the estate planning process and is very personable."

We met Jacob at an estate planning dinner where he presented the advantages of having a revocable trust rather than just having a will – no probate costs or delays. He is very knowledgeable of the estate planning process and is very personable. He provided prompt service, and we enjoyed working with him very much.

"We found Justin to be thorough, considerate, and knowledgeable."

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 (Thomas Walters) 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

"Justin made it very easy."

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. Thank you very much, Sincerely Mike and Carolyn Dickey

- Mike and Carolyn Dickey

"Justin made the process go quite smoothly."

Like most people, estate planning seemed like a daunting task and difficult to start. My wife and I decided to attend a trust seminar hosted by Justin Crain, and we are really glad we did. Justin was very thorough in explaining the benefits of a trust. The idea of a fixed price for creating a trust appealed to us and no cost for changes in the first year was a plus. We decided that evening to have Justin work with us to create our trust. Justin made the process go quite smoothly with only two face-to-face meetings. He generated the trust documents along with the wills, powers of attorney, and other supporting documents to meet our needs. I would recommend Justin to anyone wanting to protect their estate and their heirs.

- Douglas Kaiser

"Justin made us feel comfortable and at ease."

Justin explained, in detail, the “revocable living trust” what it does and for whom it is most advantageous. He further explained the impact of probate laws and how they can impact the distribution of one’s estate following death. Our decision made, he then constructed the trust best for us; explaining the sequence of events and how our assets would be conveyed to our named beneficiaries per our instructions. Justin’s patient responses to our many questions made us feel comfortable and at ease. We are pleased with Justin’s competence and the end results of his efforts for our benefit.

- Frank and Geri Salat.

"We made the right decision!"

Susan and I wish to thank you and your entire staff for your complete and total professionalism. Your seminar was very interesting and enjoyable.

Since our meeting where you thoroughly explained our trust and answered all our questions we’ve been put at ease.

"Made the Entire Process a Seamless Operation"

Finding a law firm to assist me in creating a "Living Trust" was very confusing. After interviewing three law firms, I chose Crain & Wooley.

I highly recommend and will work with Shelly Joyner and Crain & Wiiley again in the future. 

- Ricky Ellis

"Completed Quickly and Smoothly"

I rolled my self-directed IRA to a new management firm. Part of that process is to change the Warranty Deed name to the reflect the new management firm. Crain and Wooley were able to complete that process for an out of state warranty deed name change. This was accomplished very quickly and smoothly.

- Barbara

"Extremely efficient and kept us on track."

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. The plan was prepared in a timely manner and another review done at the time we signed the final papers. Everything is contained in one large binder - no searching for documents!

We wholeheartedly recommend Justin Crain and his firm as an estate planning option for those who are looking to prepare their plans.

Justin near Dallas. His project support systems are set up well for transferring documents and files with a good paper trail. His office staff is responsive and friendly.

"We were entirely pleased with the whole process of getting our trust prepared."

Justin, we are very pleased with the service we received from your law firm. We did not feel pressured or rushed during our initial consultation. Our documents were prepared in a timeline manner. We had requested that our POA and MPOA documents be signed and notarized earlier than the remainder of our documents due to a business trip that we were taking and that was done. The final document signing and notarization went smoothly. Shelly was well prepared for the final singing and did a great job explaining what our steps are to get the trust funded. We were entirely pleased with the whole process of getting our trust prepared.

Mr. Crain made the process of settling our estate plan easy. We were able to put the plan in place, including all the document creation and property transfers, in the space of 30 days.

- Mark and Brenda Hammett

"Impressed by his professionalism and depth of knowledge."

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

I came to Justin through his seminar and decided to proceed to create a living trust. Things got delayed due to a couple of personal issues in my life.

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.

"It was a pleasure working with Mr. Crain and his staff."

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.

Our survivors will be the ultimate judges of if this was worth it!

- Tom Bauer

"He is the expert on these matters."

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

"Very thorough and professional."

I found Crain & Wooley’s entire staff very thorough and professional in handling my deed / title request in a timely manner. They went the extra step in appraising me to contact my mortgage company prior to finalizing the deed / title process. That appraisal in itself spoke highly of Crain & Wooley looking out for my best interest. What more can one ask? I look forward to utilizing their services at a later day in establishing my trust.

My wife and I have been extremely pleased with Justin Crain in developing our Revocable Trust. He is not only knowledgeable about trusts; he can explain them in “laymen’s language” that anyone can readily understand.

"This has given me great comfort and peacefulness to help my children."

I had heard Justin Crain, J.D. at a presentation on Revocable Living Trusts. He was very compelling in the presentation, and I decided it was important to make certain my family should not be burdened with a probate and end-of-life decisions. An initial visit answered numerous questions. I felt I was heard and felt confident about proceeding. The Estate Portfolio was completed very quickly and thoroughly and was reviewed with me. Specific tasks were outline for me to accomplish. A great feature (of working with Justin) is the ability to have unlimited firm support for the first year, at the initial cost, which gives an individual the ability to get new questions answered. This has given me great comfort and peacefulness to help my children.

- Gloria Canham

"Helped us take the steps necessary to protect our assets."

Crain Wooley’s law firm helped us take the steps necessary to actively protect our estate while we’re alive. They helped us update and establish our wills, trusts, deeds, healthcare directive, and our powers of attorney documents that we would need in case one of us passes away. I’m so grateful we finally got this done. Although we had a will, we needed something much more than just the wills. We needed documents I never would have thought about that would keep our property out of the probate courts. So, if you’re reading this, I highly recommend you help your kids out and get your affairs in order its so worth it. You’ll be glad you did.

- R. & J. Garrett

"I knew this (a trust) was what I need for myself and my family."

- Doyle Winter

"I was so grateful that we had already started the process."

My husband and I attended a dinner that Justin Crain sponsored. Afterwards, we decided to get our living trust done. In the process of getting it completed, my husband passed away. I was so grateful that we had already started the process. After his passing, I was able to update all my information and complete the process. Even though it was the most painful experience in my life, it feels good to know that the legacy we had built together is protected, and our children will be equipped upon my passing.

"We are pleased with our experience."

My wife and I had done our wills and trust before but they were outdated and the website company that we used most recently did not give us the kind of confidence that we required.

We are pleased with our experience and will recommend Mr. Crain to our friends and family.

"We recommend him highly!"

We went to Jacob Wooley’s dinner (event) expecting to eat and leave. We were so impressed by his presentation and how thoroughly he answered all the questions we had when we attended. Our will was way out of date, and it was something we just kept putting off. Jacob motivated us and got us moving. We signed up for his service that very night and therefore were able to take advantage of his discount. He proceeded to instruct us and answer all our questions. We only had to meet him two times in his office, and we had 3-way conversations with our financial advisor and bank. He also recorded our deeds with Denton County and made it all very easy for us. His knowledge of how to deal with our family and our desires and concerns for them again made it so easy. We are now free of doubts for our future, and we are organized as well all due to Jacob Wooley’s work ethic and kindness. We recommend him highly!

"Jacob Wooley treated me with respect."

I have been to attorneys, insurance agents, investors and real estate agents, and doctors who have treated me with the attitude that I am ignorant. I may not be the most intelligent person, but I am not stupid. Jacob Wooley treated me with respect. At first, I thought he was not listening to me because he was on his laptop. However, as I found out quickly, he was listening to every word I said even the trivial things I told him about my children and my life. I felt quite comfortable and safe going forward. He gave me good advice about other banking and investing changes to make in order to make my will stronger. Thank you, Jacob.

- Lynda Maxwell

"Easy, quick and efficient."

We attended a dinner presentation by Justin a year ago and took some time to do some “due diligence” and research. We put together a plan based on what Justin suggested. We met with Justin, told him what we decided and started the process of having a trust set up. 3 weeks later, we had our signing and completion event. Easy, quick and efficient. His staff answered all questions along the way and guided us through the use of the technology. Best part was the “cheat sheet” to process the trust with the banks and financial advisor for questions and process. Highly recommended.

- Tom & Jen Walker

"Would Definitely Recommend Crain & Wooley"

We attended a lunch seminar hosted by Shelly Joyner and her team to listen and learn more about our options with Trusts. Based on Shelly's presentation, examples, and knowledge of Trusts, we were sold on Crain & Wooley as the firm to prepare and manage our Trust.

The Crain & Wooley process from start to finish was fast, efficient and very professional. Throughout the progression, both Shelly and Steve Crosby communicated, answered all our questions, and provided various trust documents through the portal for our review /comments.

Would highly recommend the services of Crain & Wooley!!

- Paul & Helen Cherry

"I don’t think you can find a nicer group of people to help you than them."

I truly appreciate everything he did for me, and I don’t think you can find a nicer group of people to help you than them (Crain & Wooley).

- Cindy Lange

"We now have peace of mind."

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!

They provided us with videos and literature that deepened our understanding of the process and purpose of  creating a trust. We never felt any pressure during our meetings with them to purchase any legal products or services. They educated us, encouraged us to ask questions, and let us make our own decision. We did decide to create a living trust, and we are very pleased with the results.

He also has a strong team of friendly, knowledgeable coworkers in his office.

Crain & Wooley was there to guide us and show us the way. We finally have a family trust with the bulk of our major holdings in it.

Dealing with Crain & Wooley made the process happen. Many folks can set up a trust, but funding it is a different situation. Never were we lost, confused or unsure of what to do. Their written instructions led the way for us. When the situation became a little difficult, we talked with them, and they told us or showed us alternatives to consider.

We highly recommend Crain & Wooley.

- A & P Jandura

"Excellent"

My wife and I accepted an invitation to a wills and trust seminar conducted by attorney Justin Crain on 01/14/2020. The seminar was excellent, and we committed to working with Justin to formulate a living trust and wills for our family. Over the next two months, we had two personal meetings and several conversations with Justin to discuss our wishes and review the preliminary documents. We signed the wills and living trust documents on 3/23/2020. We signed all paperwork for all banks and investment accounts by 04/01/2020 and our trust was completely funded. We greatly appreciate the professionalism and efficiency of Justin and the rest of the staff at Crain & Wooley in accomplishing this task.

"It is my privilege to recommend the Law Firm Crain & Wooley."

It is my privilege to recommend the Law Firm Crain & Wooley. Back in 2018, my wife and I attended a seminar given by attorney Justin Crain of such firm. During that seminar, we received very valuable information about living trusts, estate planning and numerous other legal topics. We were very impressed with that presentation to the point that we decided right there and then to obtain an estate planning portfolio through this legal firm. Mr. Crain and his staff provide an excellent service; every time I call them for advice, they are eager to help. We recently purchased another house and they were very helpful in recording the new deed. My wife and I believe that they not only meet our expectations but exceed our requirements. We strongly recommend this firm.

"Justin and his staff did a great job."

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

"A painless experience with Justin Crain’s help."

The phrase “get your affairs in order” is not something anyone wants to hear. If someone were to tell us that, we can now reply “ALREADY DONE!”. Preparing now to help our children later was a painless experience with Justin Crain’s help. Mr. Crain and his amazing staff walked us through gathering all of our documents into order and a binder. Now our affairs are in order and we can get on with our lives.

"We are very happy."

The process was simple and clear from the first outreach on the website to our signing meeting. We are very happy.

- J. Pierce

"He did an outstanding job in a timely manner."

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 highly recommend Mr. Crain when it's time to make such important decisions and put together a trust

- Janet Lynn Bottlinger

"We left their office not only pleased with the final trust but also with the security of having this completed before going into surgery."

My husband and I attended a program with Justin Crain discussing the process of setting up a trust. We needed to find someone to do this for us so we set up a free consultation time with him. We had our questions answered and were convinced he could do what we needed. So, we secure him as our attorney to do this.

We started the process and were very pleased with the portfolio addressing all our requests and needs. However, as we were starting the final process our circumstances changed. My husband was scheduled for open heart surgery. We called Justin and Joy and they sped up the process so we could finalize the process immediately. We left their office not only pleased with the final trust but also with the security of having this completed before going into surgery.

"Efficient and effective."

Every Texan needs to understand the importance of doing estate planning via a living trust. Crain & Wooley specializes in this and has assembled a team that can efficiently and effectively get the job done.

"Very Thorough In Explaining My Options"

Shelly was very thorough in explaining my options in estate planning and reviewing the documents I did have. I appreciate the speed and ease in completing my documents and support in transitioning my home into our living trust.

- David Smith

"Highly recommend their counsel."

We met with Justin, who began the roadmap for us and within a few weeks, we were reviewing documents and interacting with his staff on questions etc. Shelly Joyner was assigned as our legal partner through the process, and I found her to be very professional and down to earth, making a legal maze very uncomplicated while communicating in “layman terms”. We now have compiled a thorough binder of documents to hand to our children, complete with all transaction details outlining our goals through the Living Trust, from recorded assets to powers of Attorney to our Last Will. A very affordable and welcomed professional partner to help chart your course for estate planning. Highly recommend their counsel.

"He was extremely helpful."

In regards to our recent utilization of the Crain & Wooley, Planning and Settling Estate, Attorneys at Law. We were extremely satisfied with how Jacob K. Wooley handled the process of creating a Living Trust for our family. He was very knowledgeable in the area of planning, forming and following-up unto the completion of our family Trust. He quickly responded to any questions we had during the process either in person, by telephone or e-mail. He was extremely helpful in ensuring we understood how the Trust would function now and into the future. He was very personable as well as being very astute in all legal areas that were required to complete the process. We would recommend him to any family interested in planning a way to ensure their spouse or children’s interests are not tied up in the probate court.

- Richard and Sandra Maples

"I firmly believe we made the right choice"

My wife and I just completed a comprehensive estate plan that was drafted by Justin Crain. The process went smoothly and proceeded in a timely manner. Justin and his staff were wonderful people to work with and were ready to spend the time needed to answer all of our questions throughout the process. By the time our trust was completed, we were confident that our estate would be passed along to our children and grandchildren in just the manner we desired. Both Susan and I firmly believe we made the right choice in having Justin draft our estate planning documents. Without hesitation, we would turn to Justin in the future when matters related to estate planning arise.

- Richard Evans

"Thank you!"

Professional and complete in explanation and completion. I would definitely recommend their service.

- Daphne Eager

"We were impressed by the presentation and the costs."

We needed to update our Living Trust and went to a lunch meeting hosted by Justin Crain. Our purpose was to find out if our California Trust was valid in Texas, and how we could best put our house in the Trust. We were impressed by the presentation and the costs quoted seemed reasonable compared with what we had paid for the original documents in California. We provided him with a copy of our existing trust and later had our initial meeting in his office where he outlined what needed to be done. In fairly short order he contacted us and emailed copies of the proposed changes. Next, we had a meeting where we asked questions, provided information on some minor changes and signed our documents. We would highly recommend the firm Crain & Wooley to anyone interest in creating a Living Trust.

- David & Barbara Precht

"I truly appreciate all the effort and assistance."

I want to start off and say “thank – you” for all the work performed in guiding the Murphy Estate. We started off with that seminar where Justin and Shelly ensure all my questions were answered. Because of that I finally started the process to get the estate (set) up. Shelly was AWESOME! She took all the information and ran with it. She explained every step and patiently answered all my questions. Also thanks go out to the whole staff who always gave a friendly welcome when I showed up. I truly appreciate all the effort and assistance. THANKS MUCH!

- Christopher Murphy

"Very Professional, Thorough and Good Communicators"

Justin and his staff were very professional, thorough and good communicators. They prepared every doc they committed to, and in a timely manner. I like the lump sum fee arrangement. I would definitely recommend them.

- Bart Hubbard

"We are so grateful we did this."

We had been wanting to do and understand a trust for a long time. Once we received the meeting invite, the rest was easy. We learned about wills and trusts in an understandable way. Justin and his team are organized, thorough, friendly and helpful. They coordinated and explained each step of the process. We are so grateful we did this. The cost was invaluable. Thank you for everything. 

- Shelly Torti

"He explained it so that we could understand it."

Being a retired judge, I want to commend Justin Crain on the way he conducted business. Everything he did was explained to my wife, daughter, and I so that we could understand it. I would recommend the law firm to all my family and friends for their estate planning and other related items

- Jim Alford

"We highly recommend you and Crain & Wooley."

Thank you, Justin, for giving us peace of mind in securing the future of our son. We received exemplary service from you and all of your staff. During our meetings, we appreciated the attentive way you listened to specifics of our particular situation, including a Supplemental Needs Trust (SNT), for our son with special needs. You thoroughly answered all of our questions and made the unfamiliar legal world less threatening. We highly recommend you and Crain & Wooley. 

- Cathey & Charles Pinnell

"I greatly appreciated the guidance."

I am grateful Jacob had the foresight to make contact via postcard. He invited us to a luncheon information dialogue to hear options for estate planning. I had a will, advanced directive and power of attorney but was in need of updating my will. By receiving an overview of estate planning beyond a will, I realized I needed a plan to protect my middle-class assets, to safeguard against delays and attorney fees upon my death and to smoothly transfer my assets (mainly my home) and small business assets accurately to my heirs. I greatly appreciated the guidance to a Living Trust to safeguard dissemination of my assets.

- Jane Geracci

"We appreciated how quick and simple you made the experience!"

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

"Pleasant And Professional."

Our recent experience with Crain & Wooley was a pleasant and professional one. The staff was very helpful and friendly.

The attorneys we were working with took the time to explain everything. Although some things were a bit confusing and a little overwhelming, I’m sure any further questions we have they will be willing to answer them.

- N. Mazza

"Thank you, Jacob."

I have been to attorneys, insurance agents, investors, real estate agents, and doctors who have treated me with the attitude that I am ignorant. Jacob Wooley treated me with respect. He listened to every word I said - even the trivial things I told him about my children and my life. I felt quite comfortable and safe going forward. He gave me good advice about other banking and investing changes to make in order to make my will stronger. Thank you, Jacob.

- Lynda Maxwell

"We highly recommend her"

We had put off our estate plan for years because it felt like such a daunting task. Shelly Joyner handled our complex situation with patience and expertise. We work virtually since we live outside the Dallas area. Shelly walked us through the process step-by-step and always answered our questions promptly. We finally have peace of mind from getting our affairs in order. We highly recommend her. 

- Cindye Sablatura & Paul Partridge

"Very pleasant to work with."

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.

- Donald Ewing

"Shelly is fabulous to work with."

Shelly is fabulous to work with. She is professional, knowledgeable, and organized. Kudos to Shelly!

- S. & E. Green

"Very professional, cheerful and helpful."

Robert and I just finished signing on our Revocable Living Trust, POA and Medical POA, and we wanted to take the time to thank you.

We had been looking a long time for the right person to work within estate planning. We found your initial presentation that we attended very informative and low-pressure. In addition to your knowledge on the many topics of estate planning, we found you refreshingly personable and yet not invasive. We especially appreciated your working with on the details and the timing. My husband is especially suspicious of anyone trying to take advantage of us so I was thrilled when he gave me the thumbs up to proceed working with you.

Special kudos to your staff: Joy who we initially met was very professional, cheerful and helpful. Shelly was extremely efficient in quickly responding to emails and answering questions. There was never a time when we felt like there was a delay of lack of help and support.

Last but not least, we also found the book your wrote on estate planning answered many of our questions as well s provided information on important topics we had not thought about.

Texas-size thanks to you and your staff for helping us complete our bundle of very important legal documents. We appreciate the excellent customer service and highly recommend you.

- Kim and Robert Pence

"He knows his stuff and is a credit to his profession."

Justin was professional and worked with us to "blend" our will from another state to (an updated plan) to meet Texas Law. He knows his stuff and is a credit to his profession. He explained in detail so we understood. He offered many helpful suggestions that we would not have thought of. He was always on time. His fees are very reasonable. Everything was delivered on time and very organized. Our trustee/executor should have an easy time. We recommend they call Justin. Brianna Collins and Joy Crosby were great. Files were posted promptly and securely. It was a pleasure. Thanks!

- Richard & Donna Tyson

"Finally, we highly recommend Crain & Wooley to anyone interested in the development of an estate plan."

When me and my wife were invited to attend a Crain & Wooley estate planning presentation, we had no knowledge of the process. Since we had discussed the need to plan for eventual demise, we decided to work with the firm to establish a Revocable Living Trust. We thank attorneys Justin Crain & Shelly Joyner for their advice, counsel, dedication, and patience throughout this journey. Miss Joyner addressed all of our concerns and questions to our satisfaction, and we hope to work with her in the future. Finally, we highly recommend Crain & Wooley to anyone interested in the development of an estate plan. 

- London & Rosemarie Farley

"We would recommend Crain & Wooley Law for your estate planning needs."

The office was very friendly and welcoming when we entered the office. We would recommend Crain & Wooley Law for your estate planning needs. 

- Don & Cathy Mitchell

"Peace of mind."

Thank you to you and your staff for working with me to understand the details of my Dad’s trust and to assure him, in his final days, that he did well by having all items in place. Your confirmation gave both of us peace of mind. I want you to know that the deed information for the trust was also important to clear up. Great thanks to Justin and team.

- Tim Hallman

"I am very pleased and highly recommend Crain & Wooley."

Getting my living trust was something I wanted to do for a couple of years and didn’t know where to start. I had the opportunity to attend one of Justin’s seminars. It was a very informative seminar. After attending and spending those couple of hours with Justin and Joy, I knew I wanted him to do my estate planning. From Justin to Joy to Joncherrica, they made it so easy. Every question I asked was answered and explained - from the draft to the final signing. They made the final signing very fun. I am very pleased and highly recommend Crain & Wooley.

- Merchell Jones

"Mr. Wooley was most informative and very professional."

Thanks to Jacob K. Wooley, Estate Planning Attorney, for extending an invitation to attend “A Special Educational Event” hosted by Crain & Wooley to learn about Wills & Living Trusts. I attended this free event and lunch at the Olive Garden at 4604 S. Cooper Arlington, Texas, in September, 2019.

It was, indeed, one of the best decisions I made after having lost my sister and inheriting her estate. Mr. Wooley was most informative and very professional in his presentation; and, along with his staff member Cole McNiel, they both took time to answer many questions and speak to each one about his/her specific situations and quickly made appointments for those who wanted / needed help.

Mr. Wooley worked with me during a difficult time in my life, and I am very happy to say, “I am well pleased with the work Crain & Wooley did for me in the planning of my Estate, and I highly recommend to anyone who needs help with Wills and/or Living Trusts, to please call Jacob K. Wooley – you will not be disappointed!”

- Linda Darden

"A trust was what I need for myself and my family."

I must admit that I was not familiar about (with) estate planning. All I knew about was making out a will. Upon getting more information about estate planning, I knew this (a trust) was what I need for myself and my family.

- Doyle Winter

"I believe that anyone would be in good hands with Jacob Wooley."

Jacob was a pleasure to work with in that he wanted to meet all of (our) needs in building our trust. He worked hard to make sure he got all details the way we wanted them even through some of our requests were somewhat different. I believe that anyone would be in good hands with Jacob Wooley.

- Rick & Sue Neubauer

"Very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly organization."

Very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly organization. Liked the way they presented our documents in an understandable manner.

"Working with Justin and his staff was a pleasure."

Working with Justin and his staff was a pleasure. Estate planning can be very confusing, but Justin explained very detail so we could understand our options. He listened to what we wanted and was thorough in implementing the documents. We would highly recommend Justin Crain for all your estate planning needs. We are so glad we did!

- Frank & Karen Zaccardo

"We feel secure"

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!

- Kenneth and Anne Bell

"Professional, knowledgeable, and informative."

Mr. Jacob Wooley & staff were very professional, knowledgeable, and informative in the area of estate planning. He and staff kept us informed from the initial consultation through the final signing of the documents. Everyone we met was friendly, and Mr. Wooley answered all questions and gave sound advice on family matter and estate planning. I appreciate their professionalism and their willingness to help us plan for the future of my family.
