Malik AndersonMy family went through years of financial burden after my grandfather passed away without a will. Family conflicts were inevitable, inheritance wasn’t distributed, and probate was more expensive than we initially thought.
If there’s one thing I learned from that situation, it’s that you should always get a will, whether you’re single or married. A couple of meetings with a lawyer is worth it, not years of financial problems and family breakdowns.
So, here are our most trusted wills lawyers in Oklahoma City, who will make sure your assets are protected and secured for the people you love!
1. David A. Cincotta – Cincotta Law Office
Practice Areas: Criminal defense, estate planning and probate, and expungements and pardons
Address: 3422 NW 135th St
Contact: 405-266-0360
Hours: Monday – Friday: 8 am – 5 pm
To say we were deeply impressed by David A. Cincotta is an understatement. His credentials alone are outstanding, including his time as an Assistant District Attorney at the Oklahoma County District Attorney’s Office.
It’s the no-nonsense approach that deserves a spotlight, where he tells the situation straight up. He remains professional throughout, without sugarcoating the necessary steps taken when drafting a will.
Furthermore, he personalises every service for each client. The way he explains things thoroughly, and by showing the pros and cons of each estate planning option, makes him highly reliable for basic and complex needs.
He’s got it all sorted out, from last wills to HIPAA waivers in case the testator is incapacitated. Everything’s handled here for your peace of mind, whether you’re drafting a will solo or as a couple in Oklahoma City.
Cincotta, conveniently, offers free consultations, but availability is only every couple of weeks. Still, he’s available for in-office, virtual, and phone appointments.
It was a seamless and stress-free process
“I am extremely pleased with my services from Cincotta Law Office, PLLC! Within just a day of contacting them, they were already taking the necessary steps in order to get things moving! I never had to follow up multiple times to get an update, and most of the time an update was provided before I even asked! It was a seamless and stress free process! I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for prompt and thorough service!”

You can’t put a price on his services
“Very few words that could remotely capture the value of Mr Cincotta’s services and the integrity he brings to his work-TRUELY immeasurable. He’s not just an exceptional lawyer but good people. You can’t put a price on his services and while words might fall short, his impact, legal expertise and genuine concern will not. If you’re looking for someone who delivers results promptly, clearly, and with your best interests in mind, David is undoubtedly the right choice. Thanks you David”

His estate planning services are vast, including special needs planning, family-owned businesses, elder law, and pet planning. Yes, he’s got it all covered, from humans to animals, and it’s incredible how he accommodates all sorts of situations.

A little heads up: contact his firm by phone the first time, rather than email. You get a faster response this way, but his staff always responds anyway.
Amazing experience
“Amazing experience! We worked with Larry Parman and his team ( Carol and David) for our trust and will. The whole team was amazing! The patience they have is outstanding, we had so many questions and different ideas of what we wanted, Larry listened and then gently guided us to the best decision for our family. I never dreaded our meetings because I felt like we were meeting with friends. Carol was our paralegal and always had everything organized and ready to go. David was such a wonderful greeter and so happy to see us making sure we were well taken care of. I wholeheartedly recommend Parman & Easterday law firm. Melissa and Gary Clark, OKC”

Took the time to explain things in a manner I could understand
“Roberto helped me with my will, powers of attorney and estate paperwork. The whole package. He was very thorough and thought of things I hadn’t even considered. He took the time to explain things in a manner I could understand, and was very personable (as a nurse I would say great bedside manner, but for a lawyer I’m just going to have to go with personable.) I would recommend him to anyone I know that has a need for his services.”

5. Stephen Cortes – Cortes Law Firm
Practice Areas: Estate planning and probate
Address: 5801 Broadway Extension Hwy Suite 110
Contact: 405-213-0856
Hours: Monday – Friday: 9 am – 5 pm
We trust Stephen Cortes, a managing partner at Cortes Law Firm, for his thorough estate planning services for individuals and businesses. Everything’s personalized here, where tailored strategies are prioritized to tackle complex needs.
As a full-service estate planning law firm in Oklahoma City, he can make the whole process more streamlined while keeping a personalized approach. From what we’ve seen, he’s been very informative about the whole process.
Most of all, Cortes was very easy to work with, showing patience with every question (basic or not), which was very much appreciated by clients who had zero idea about estate planning.
Full transparency is also maintained from the very beginning, and that includes the costs. Every client will know exactly what needs to be paid from the initial consultation, so they can decide whether to continue on or not.
FYI: it’s better to email the firm than to expect a callback, since it may take some time before his staff can get back to you.
Able to get it done within a week
“Thanks for quickly and efficient getting our estate plan done. We are leaving town and didn’t have months to waits. Steve Cortes and his paralegal, Sydney were able to get it done within a week. We feel so much better knowing we have a plan in place before our trip”
-Kim Shaw, Google Review
Very professional, thorough, and listened to our specific needs
“Very professional, thorough and listened to out specific needs. Highly recommend Steve. I had been with a previous lawyer who just happened to be in court the case before ours. They had to re-schedule and when my probate case was called and Steve went up to the judge, the judge said, “I don’t have to worry about you, you have your i’s dotted and t’s crossed”. That was re-assuring and true.”
