About Us
We’re not your typical estate planning law firm. At Short & Stevens Law, we believe in honest, practical guidance — no scare tactics, no upselling, no unnecessary complexity. Our job is to explain your options clearly, outline the pros and cons, and help you make informed decisions that serve your best interests. But our relationship doesn’t end there — we stay connected as your life evolves to make sure your plan stays effective.
Founded by Whitney and Amanda — friends since law school and proud Midwesterners — our firm is built on shared values: hard work, family, community, and doing what’s right. We’re more than estate planners — we’re future-focused attorneys helping you protect what matters most, both now and in the years to come.
