McBride & Associates

McBride & Associates belongs at #4 among Oklahoma City trust attorneys because the firm has been planning estates for Oklahoma families since 1996, with founder L. David McBride concentrating on trusts, wills, probate, and business planning. An OU-trained engineer-turned-lawyer who also studied at Queen’s College, Oxford, McBride builds living trusts and special-needs trusts that are meant to keep a client in control—naming fiduciaries and beneficiaries instead of leaving those choices to default Oklahoma law. The same office handles guardianship, powers of attorney, health-care directives, and the business or mineral assets that often sit inside a local estate, so a family is not sent across town for each piece. What separates the practice is how much of that knowledge leaves the conference room: McBride regularly speaks to church and civic groups on trusts and estate planning and teaches probate seminars to other attorneys. From Edmond and the Moore–Oklahoma City office, that combination of three decades of work and public teaching gives metro families a place to put a trust in writing and understand why it matters.
