clients, not the hours.

A background in both law and business gives the firm a rare vantage point. Not just the legal exposure, but the real-world implications for your family, your business, and everything you have worked to build.
Whether you are structuring a business, planning your estate, or preparing for what comes after you are gone, Legacy First Law delivers counsel that is clear, strategic, and deeply personal.

Simple, clear, and
built around you.
Three steps from first contact to finished plan. No mystery. No surprises.
Free Consultation
You share your situation and goals. We listen, ask the right questions, and give you a clear picture of what needs to be done. No obligation, no billing clock.
Flat-Fee Agreement
You receive a clear, written scope of work with a flat fee so you know the full cost before anything begins. No hourly billing surprises for out-of-court matters.
Signed, Sealed, and Done
Our team handles your matter start to finish. You stay informed at every step. When the work is complete, your plan is documented and ready to protect your legacy.
Most firms bill by the hour.
We do not.
Most law firms are built around volume. Legacy First Law was designed to be the opposite.
When your plan is done, you understand every page of it. Every document, every decision, and every trade-off explained so it makes sense to you.
A dual J.D. plus MBA background means the firm sees the full picture: the financial, operational, and long-term implications, not just the legal exposure. That perspective is built into every piece of work.
The goal is never just to finish the document. The goal is to make sure it protects you and your family exactly the way you intended.

Attorney and Founder
William English, Esq., MBA
William English is the founder and principal attorney of Legacy First Law. With a Juris Doctor from the University of Mississippi School of Law and an MBA that preceded his legal career, William brings a genuinely rare combination of legal precision and business thinking to every client relationship.
Before founding Legacy First Law, William developed a deep understanding of how legal decisions intersect with business strategy, financial planning, and long-term wealth preservation. That cross-disciplinary foundation shapes everything he does for clients.
He started Legacy First Law because he believed clients deserved more than documents. They deserve a counselor who takes the time to understand their full situation, explains everything in plain English, and stays accountable from start to finish.

What clients say after they
finally get this handled.
Working with William was unlike any attorney experience I have had before. He actually picked up the phone when I called. He explained everything in plain language. Our estate plan was done in two weeks, exactly how we wanted it.
William helped us structure our LLC and draft all our operating agreements when we launched. Knowing the cost upfront with a flat fee made the whole process stress-free. We had no idea legal work could be this straightforward.
My father passed without a will and it was a nightmare. William helped us navigate the estate settlement process and then immediately helped me build a proper estate plan so my family will never go through that.
Answers to what
most people ask first.
What does a free consultation include?
A free 15-minute consultation is a no-obligation conversation where you share your situation and goals, and we give you a clear picture of what legal work makes sense for you. No pressure. No billing clock.
How does flat-fee pricing work?
For all out-of-court legal work, Legacy First Law charges a flat fee agreed upon before any work begins. You know the full cost upfront, in writing, with no surprise invoices at the end.
Do I need an estate plan if I am young?
Yes. An estate plan is not just for the elderly. If you have assets, a business, or dependents, you need basic documents in place now. Accidents and illness do not check your age first.
Can the firm handle business and estate issues at the same time?
Absolutely. Many clients are business owners who need both an entity structure and an estate plan that work together. The firm's J.D. plus MBA background makes it uniquely equipped to handle both without the coordination gaps that come from using two separate firms.
What can Legacy First Law help me with?
Legacy First Law focuses on estate planning and business law. For IP, patent, litigation, or matters outside these areas, the firm maintains relationships with trusted sister firms and can provide a direct referral.
Where does Legacy First Law practice?
Legacy First Law is licensed in Texas, Iowa, North Dakota, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Many matters can also be handled fully remotely, regardless of which licensed state you are in.
