Springfield location builds on longstanding relationships throughout the Ozarks and makes relationship-based estate planning more accessible to families across Southwest Missouri
SPRINGFIELD, Mo.—August 24, 2026—Ozarks Legacy Law, an regional estate planning firm whose attorneys bring more than 75 years of combined experience, , has opened a Springfield office at 1531 Bradford Parkway, Suite 320. With offices throughout Southwest Missouri, the firm gives families throughout Southwest Missouri more convenient access to estate planning services close to home.
The Springfield location builds on the firm’s longstanding relationships with clients, families and professional advisors throughout Southwest Missouri. Ozarks Legacy Law has served Springfield-area families for years, and the office provides another convenient place for clients to meet personally with the firm while strengthening its broader presence throughout the Ozarks.
“For us, being in Springfield is the natural response to the client base and professional relationships we’ve established through the years,” said David Payne, Owner of Ozarks Legacy Law. “We have served Springfield families for years. Having an office here simply makes us more accessible to those families while allowing us to continue the same relationship-based approach that has defined our firm.”
That approach is built around a belief that meaningful estate planning begins with understanding the family behind the plan. Rather than starting with documents or predetermined solutions, Ozarks Legacy Law focuses on conversations about each family’s values, relationships, property and goals for the future.
“Our mission is to be an accessible and trusted estate planning firm for the communities of Southwest Missouri,” Payne said. “That means being present in the communities we serve, but it also means taking the time to know our clients, understand what matters to their families and provide thoughtful guidance based on their individual circumstances. That should be the Ozarks Legacy Law experience regardless of which office a client walks into.”
Across its offices, Ozarks Legacy Law provides a consistent and guided estate planning experience designed to make planning understandable, personal and convenient. The firm’s process includes:
- Complete estate plans tailored to each family’s circumstances, values and goals
- A guided planning process, with most plans completed within 10 to 20 days
- One-on-one attention from an experienced estate planning attorney and the firm’s team
- In-person and video conference meetings based on client preference
- An ongoing relationship designed to help clients keep their planning aligned with their lives over time
“One of the great privileges of this work is the very personal conversation we get to have with families,” Payne said. “We have the opportunity to understand what they value, what they want to protect and what they hope to accomplish for the people they care about. From there, we can build a plan that genuinely reflects those values. But good estate planning is not just a single transaction. The continuing relationship between our clients and our firm is what brings lasting peace of mind and helps make a plan successful over time.”
The Springfield office is located at 1531 Bradford Parkway, Suite 320, Springfield, Missouri. Families interested in beginning the estate planning process can schedule a complimentary estate planning call at ozarkslegacylaw.com/book-a-call.
