Rhiannon K. Thoreson, Attorney at Law

Looking forward to speaking at the Oklahoma Bar Association Midyear Conference next month.

I’ll be presenting “The Art of Giving Feedback to Associates” - a session focused on one of the most important (and often overlooked) parts of developing young lawyers: meaningful performance feedback.

Too often, associates receive little guidance beyond redlines, silence, or criticism without context. Good feedback doesn’t just improve work product; it builds confidence, strengthens teams, improves retention, and ultimately develops better attorneys.

We’ll be talking about practical strategies for giving feedback that is clear, constructive, growth-oriented, and actually useful.

If you’re attending, I’d love to see you there. I’ll drop the registration link in the comments.

You know you may be attempting to create new law when you stump the Appellate Court Clerk and she has to consult with someone else because she’s “never seen anything like this before.”

Decided not to wait until May 1st after all! What better time to announce this than during Victims’ Rights Week?

New things are coming, effective May 1st. My February Bar Journal article is a not-so-subtle hint…

I’ve had some inquiries since closing up shop about where to turn for estate planning. If you’re in the Tulsa area, I highly recommend either Helton Law Firm or Littleton Legal PLLC. Scott Helton and Brittany Littleton and their teams are not only great attorneys, but great people to know in general. You’d be in good hands with both of those firms!

At the end of this month, I’ll be closing up shop and will not be offering estate planning any more. So, if you want to get yours done before the end of the month, please reach out ASAP!

Trick or treat!

DIY estate planning is generally a bad idea. There are many legal nuances that only an experienced attorney can help you with. I’d be honored to help you walk through the process! Give me a call!

When’s the last time you updated your estate plan?

An estate plan is a living document. It should evolve over time and reflect your current assets, family situation, work status, and interests. It’s a good idea to revisit these legal documents every five or so years to make sure that the estate plan still reflects your wishes. You should also update your estate plan after major life events such as purchasing a home, getting married or divorced, having children, or after an inheritance.

I have to admit that I’m overdue in updating mine as circumstances have changed. Maybe you’re overdue as well. I’d be happy to help you with yours!

Welcome to a new month! I still have some openings for evening or weekend appointments this month. In person or virtual. Reach out and let’s get your estate plan started!

For almost all my clients, I’ve always recommended a Trust over just a Will. Now that I’m personally walking through the probate process for a family member, I’m realizing just how important and wise that advice is. Even though I’m working with great probate attorneys, probate is a pain in the butt.

Save your loved ones this headache, as well as the time and expense, by setting up a Trust. I’m now scheduling appointments in April to discuss your estate planning needs.
