Lacey P. Whitten

Lacey did an excellent job helping me to update my estate planning, by updating my will and setting up some trusts. He is easily accessible by phone, email or text, and promptly responds to any questions. He is thorough in helping establish estate planning goals and helping one to select the right plan to fulfill those goals.

Lacey worked with me and my family for over 15 years beginning when our family discovered that my mother, advanced in age, was involved in sending large sums of money to scam artists and lotteries with promises to win millions. Lacey helped us through a heart-breaking time of transition by preserving Mom's assets yet giving her the dignity of being able to access a limited, court- ordered, personal account. Lacey guided us through annual court-ordered inventories and any other problems or questions that occasionally surfaced. Lacey was always available to the phone which I appreciated since I did not live in San Antonio though my mother did. Being a guardian-of-the-estate is not an easy task. I'm glad that I had Lacey and his very competent staff to call upon. I could not have done it without them. My mother reached her final reward in December 2017 just three weeks before reaching 102! Thank you, Lacey. You are awesome!

Mr. Whitten was recommended to us by the Executive Director of the Army Retirement Community in San Antonio to help our uncle, an 88-yr-old resident of ARC, who wished to sign a new will after the death of his wife in 2012. Mr. Whitten was able to visit with our uncle to make certain that his wishes were properly stated in his new will. From my position as Executor of our uncle's will, I found Mr. Whitten to be extremely knowledgeable of the law and possessive of the ability to communicate with our uncle. He is an excellent attorney, and I would highly recommend him as an estate attorney.

Within a very short time frame, I was seeking a qualified attorney to draw up a last will and testament. Mr. Whitten's Firm was a convenient choice in close proximety, upon consultation it was apparent that Mr. Whitten's Firm was more than qualified to execute my timely matter. I would highly recommend Mr. Whitten with his extensive knowledge, expertise and cordial demeanor.

Mr Whitten is very knowledgeable and educated us on everything we needed to know upfront. Mr Whitten and his team were very patient and were very attentive to our needs and wishes during the entire process. We highly recommend his services if you are looking for a lawyer.

Lacey and his team provided exceptional service when my mother moved in with us from another state where her prior will and powers of attorney had been prepared. He was able to help her understand and adjust her estate plans to accommodate Texas law and procedure, including final updates on a very short timeline as her health deterioration accelerated dramatically. When Mom passed, Lacey continued to provide clear, professional and compassionate service in the probating and execution of her will. Further, his rates were reasonable and presented very transparently. As a retired senior military officer, I have low tolerance for inefficiency or incompetence, but I was thoroughly impressed by Lacey and his staff throughout this entire process. In fact, my wife and I are continuing consultation and service from him in updating our own estate plans. I highly recommend Lacey Whitten for your consideration.

Excellent estate attorney, prepared mine and my wife’s wills and helped us plan our estates for our children. Thank you again.

After an initial consultation I immediately hired Mr. Whitten to prepare my will and other documents. He was very professional and pleasant. I never felt rushed, he took time to explain the process and understand my wishes. His staff was equally pleasant and accommodating.

MR. WHITTEN HAS HELPED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE YEARS WITH MULTIPLE ISSUES. I KNOW HE HAS WORKED WITH MANY OF THE MILITARY OFFICERS IN THE AREA AND THEY LOVE HIM. HE HELPED ME SET UP OUR COMPLICATED WILL SO THAT I KNOW THAT MY WIFE AND CHILDREN WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ME. THAT GIVES ME GREAT PEACE IF MIND....

I engaged Lacey on the recommendation of a family friend. He deftly handled several complex situations involving three estates including probate and two trusts. He always went the extra mile, expeditiously addressed our needs and communicated very effectively. We avoided several pitfalls due to his diligence. Definitely one of the best decisions I ever made.

The most professional lawyer I have ever used. He made writing a will such an easy process for me. I would highly recommend Mr. Lacey Whitten.

One of the things you look for when you visit an attorney's office is confidence in their ability to solve or execute your particular task(s). After my father's passing, I went to see Mr. Whitten about the execution of my father's last will and testament. Lacey sat with me for an extended period of time, answered every question, and was quite thorough in his explanations of what we would encounter. I was also pleasantly surprised with the speed and efficency, not only in the tasks at hand, but also in how quickly my emails and phone calls were returned from his office. It was obviously a very trying period and my experience with his law firm helped to relieve some of the anxiety and stress that goes along with the death of a parent. I am extremely grateful for both Lacey and his assistant, Letty!

When I began the process of Guardianship, for my son with Autism, I was TERRIFIED! Lacey was and continues to be the guidance and support which truly made the process something which I was able to understand and able to complete for myself and for my son. Without Lacey and his staff, I often wonder how I would have been able to brave through this process, Guardianship is a forever decision for your child. I cannot thank him enough and feel forever in his debt for his help and compassion. With this Guardianship in place now, Travis is living a WHOLE and PROTECTED life with his family and ensured his mother can continue to guard his legal rights for him.

When my mother died, my family and I had many problems, disagreements and issues to resolve. Mr. Whitten was not only helpful in resolving the legal issues, but he also helped to keep our family issues to a minimum and helped to solve some very difficult problems. I would highly recommend him to anyone with estate issues, estate planning, trusts, etc.

Lacey handled both estate planning and a recent probate for me with care, efficiency and knowledge thoughtfully answering any questions. I was always kept informed of timelines and where we were in the process. Lacey’s guidance was invaluable.
