"Exceptionally Helpful"

We were very pleased with the services of Crain & Wooley in setting up our Living Trust. Shelly Joyner was exceptionally helpful and explained all aspects in easily understood language. She expedited our trust as we requested due to an international trip we had planned. Her professionalism and pleasant demeanor made the whole experience very easy and smooth.

 I highly recommend that anyone considering establishing estate planning to call them.

"Handled in the most professional manner."

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.

I especially want to think Mr. Steve Crosby for helping me with a difficult part of the procedure that involved my wife.

"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.

"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.

"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

"I knew this (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.

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

Justin Crain did my trust recently, and I felt that he did an outstanding job in a timely manner.

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

"Justin provided clear direction on how to proceed."

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

"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

"Informative and compelling."

My wife and I attended an estate planning presentation last fall hosted by Justin Crain and Joy Crosby. We found the presentation informative, which compelled us to take action with Crain & Wooley. The legal implications of estate planning and the terminology used were explained in non-lawyer terms, which helped make our decisions on the spot.

- S. and P. Dresser

"Highly recommended for estate planning needs."

We highly recommend Crain & Wooley for Estate Planning needs.

"We Felt Valued, Cared for and Appreciated"

It was a pleasure working with Justin Crain, Shelly Joyner, Steve Crosby, and the entire staff at Crain and Wooley. From the moment we walked into their office, we felt valued, cared for and appreciated. Justin took the time to explain to us the benefits of creating a trust and patiently answered all of our questions. My wife and I particularly appreciated their educational emphasis. 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.

- William Benninghoff

"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.

- K & V Wages

"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.

- Jacqueline R. Cooper

"Provides Us Peace of Mind"

The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Stephen answered questions even before we asked them. Shelley responded quickly to inquiries work was done promptly. We feel like we received good guidance on how to proceed and a good value. The trust seems to address our concerns and wishes and provides us peace of mind that our survivors will inherit our assets without too much hassle.

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

- Tom Bauer

"Easy, efficient, and well explained."

Crain and Wooley prepared our Living Trust, Will and asset transfers to that Trust. The process was easy, efficient, and well explained. We recommend Justin and his team for others who are seeking counsel for their end-of-life planning.

- D & R Williams

"We highly recommend Justin Crain & his team!"

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!

- M & A McDaniel

"Fortunate to have found Crain & Wooley."

I count myself fortunate to have found the Crain & Wooley firm of attorneys to assist me with the probate process and to establish a new Will & Trust for me. The office was welcoming and friendly. Attorney Shelly Joyner made the process streamlined and simple. I received excellent communication from the support staff, and Shelly was able to explain the process and answer all questions. I can highly recommend their services.

- C. Bhattacharya

"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

"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.

"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.

"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.

"I was impressed with the depth and breadth of his knowledge."

Justin Crain helped me to create a Living Trust so that my assets would be more easily transferred to my beneficiaries when the time comes. I was impressed with the depth and breadth of his knowledge of the complexities in this area of the law. He also understands that many of the decisions made during the process involved emotions, and he was sensitive to that fact, while still helping me keep focused on my personal goals and objectives. He also has a strong team of friendly, knowledgeable coworkers in his office.

- Marjorie Raddatz

"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.

- Fern Gimenez

"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.

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!

"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.

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.

"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!”

We highly recommend Crain & Wooley for your estate planning needs.

- Jill & Steven Stover

"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!!

- Janet Duranso

"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

"We are pleased and very appreciative of both his and his staff’s work done on our behalf."

(The) Crain & Wooley firm recently completed our estate planning documents. The whole experience from beginning to end went smoother and much better than we could have ever imagined.

We highly recommend Crain & Wooley law firm for their estate planning services. They are totally professional and “results-oriented”.

- Edward & Valerie Roberts

"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

"Thank you Justin!"

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. Justin also stood behind his commitment to patiently work with us thru several meetings to construct the perfect documents we needed. We paid an up-front fee well worth Justin’s work to date – and any future work, changes, codicils, etc. needed are already paid for! Thank you Justin!

- Thomas and Nicki Arnold

"It was simple, and it took a load off our minds and hearts as well."

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 and Kathie Hamm

"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.

We have placed our trust and confidence in Justin and will highly recommend him and his services to everyone!

"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. Your book was also very informative and between the presentation and your book we were convinced that you and your firm would become our attorneys. We made the right decision! Since our meeting where you thoroughly explained our trust and answered all our questions we’ve been put at ease.

- Anthony Venturi

"You were kind and patient and helpful."

Dear Justin, we appreciate your efforts on our behalf. We feel good to have the matter completed i.e. establishing a Trust. You were kind and patient and helpful. We felt confident that everything was proper. Also, that we could trust you to look after our interest in this matter. If we have questions in the future we will not hesitate to call you and may the Lord bless you.

"Top-notch - thorough, patient, and friendly."

Thanks Justin! You and your staff were top-notch - thorough, patient and friendly. I had been putting off getting a trust set up. When I went to your luncheon seminar, I knew you were knowledgeable. I signed up right away. I am so glad I chose you!

- Sandra Solis

"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

"Jacob and team were a pleasure to work with."

Jacob and team were a pleasure to work with. He and the team were well organized, timely with deliverables and walked us through all the documents – answering all questions. Thanks, Jacob!

- R.J. and Karen Steines

"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

"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.

- Larry and Colene Williams

"Excellent job."

Excellent job. Justin helped me to achieve the results I wanted in a living trust which involved some very specific requirements that were unique to my situation. He also provided me with a clear understanding of how I can easily change my trust directives in the future. Every step was handled remotely including document execution. I’m in Austin. 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. The 3-ring binder he sent me at the end of our project was an excellent, well-organized presentation of all executed documents and other useful information. Justin Crain knows his stuff, and his fees very reasonable.

- James Vance

It started with a free webinar postcard we received in the mail.

After meeting with him in his office, to go over what was best for us in our living trust & deed, it didn’t take long at all to sign complete our paperwork. The staff is friendly and easy to work with. Highly recommended!

"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.

"Crain & Wooley was there to guide us."

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

"Very professional. I greatly appreciate that."

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. Justin never pressured me in any way and when I was ready to resume he picked right up where left off and smoothly completed things with me. Very professional. I greatly appreciate that.

- Walter Formby

"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

"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

"We could not be more pleased with the final results"

We attended an estate planning seminar hosted by Justin Crain – which was excellent. We were impressed by his presentation, information and professionalism.

They returned all phone calls and emails quickly. We could not be more pleased with the final results and highly recommend them to others.

- Curtis & Virginia Smith

- C. Rick Rasor

"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.

"It was a pleasure working with Justin"

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.

- Betty Tillotson

"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.

- Diane Hickman

"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

"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.

I feel confident that my family will receive the same courtesy, professionalism, and friendliness when the time comes for them to work with Justin.

- Susan Kay Davis

"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.

- Stella Myatt

Terms and legal explanations were understood. I would return for other legal issues and would highly recommend this firm for legal advice.

- Alex Montanez

"A Group Of Fantastic Attorneys."

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 & 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 knowledgeable 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.

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

- J. Pierce

"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

- Lauren & Barbara Miller

"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. 

- Diane Yurasits

"He was very detailed and efficient."

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

"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

"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.

They got back to me quickly after the initial consultation and made the entire process a seamless operation. 

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

- Ricky Ellis

"His services are well worth the cost."

Justin Crain is a highly acclaimed, thoroughly professional estate attorney. His guidance in preparing our revocable living trust was a huge help to us in our understanding of the different aspects of the procedures involved in creating a trust. His services are well worth the cost. I highly recommend him and his firm to prepare a living trust.

- Kevin Tefend

"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

After needlessly procrastinating taking care of will, advanced directives, etc. and realizing I need a trust with a special needs trust for a disabled son, I attended a seminar led by Justin Crain and signed up to have my documents created. Justin is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to about the necessary requirements, and patiently answered and will continue to answer any questions regarding this matter.

- Chris Reynolds

"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.

- Gayle Stoumbaugh

- K & P Stachowiak

"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

"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

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

"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.

- Bob & Dolly Kimzey

"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 would not hesitate to recommend him to family and friends. On a scale of 1 to 10, he is definitely a 10.

- Fred and Wanda Swichtenberg

"So glad and relieved."

This was an important item on our “bucket list”. So glad and relieved that we can start the new year off right with that box checked off. Thank you & your staff for your/their patience with us.

- D. Dorman

"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!

- Charlotte and Bill Winton

"Easily understood"

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.

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.

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!

"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. 

- Ernest Chinchilla

"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 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.

"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

"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.

"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.

"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.

"Greatly appreciated the legal services of Attorney Justin Crain."

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 became acquainted with Justin Crain, Esq., during a free seminar in which he discussed the benefits of wills, trusts, and testamentary documents, and we would suggest that, if the opportunity arises, his seminar would be very beneficial to those concerned with these issues.
