W Law Group, LC

What W Law Group, LC does

W Law Group, LC is a privately held Kansas limited liability company operating as a boutique law firm out of a single office at 6900 College Blvd., Suite 820 in Overland Park, Kansas. The firm concentrates its practice in three areas: estate planning (wills, revocable and irrevocable trusts, special needs trusts, healthcare directives, powers of attorney), business services (LLC and corporation formations, holding companies, contracts, employment law, business litigation, succession planning), and elder/veterans planning (VA pension benefits, long-term care, Medicaid planning, asset protection, elder abuse). It also offers a niche firearms trusts practice via Of Counsel Matt Warren and a recurring Business Security Plan compliance service for ongoing corporate maintenance.

The firm is staffed by two principal attorneys — Partner Donald R. Whitney (Washburn University School of Law, J.D.; prior family business and accounting ventures) and Of Counsel Matt Warren (Drake University Law School, with law enforcement and firearms industry background) — plus additional support staff totaling five employees. There are no technology products, APIs, mobile applications, or automation platforms; service delivery is manual and consultation-driven.

Revenue is generated entirely through professional service fees billed on a quote/engagement basis, with pricing not publicly disclosed and contract values determined per matter. Go-to-market is relationship-led, relying on direct consultations, professional networking groups, community involvement, BBB accreditation, and a monthly newsletter. The firm primarily serves individuals, families, and small-to-medium business owners in the Kansas City metropolitan area, with secondary reach into Missouri via a dedicated phone line. Don Whitney has practiced law since 1987; the firm itself was established by Whitney and Warren with no outside investment, no parent company, and no subsidiaries.

Broad incumbents

• Polsinelli PC: AmLaw 200 firm headquartered in Kansas City with a full-service business, estate planning, and tax practice. Directly comparable to W Law Group's business services and estate planning offerings, but at much larger scale and broader geographic reach across the KC/Overland Park market.
• Spencer Fane LLP: Full-service Kansas City-based law firm with a substantial estate planning, business succession, and elder law practice. Comparable in service mix (business, trusts/estates, succession planning) but materially larger in headcount and geographic footprint.
• Lathrop GPM LLP: Kansas City-based full-service firm with a trust and estate practice serving individuals, families, and businesses. Direct regional competitor to W Law Group for estate planning and elder law matters, with a broader service portfolio.
• Stinson LLP: Major Kansas City-headquartered law firm with a trusts, estates, and business services practice group. Competes with W Law Group for estate planning and business law clients in the same regional market, but operates at a national scale.
• Holland & Hart LLP: Multi-state law firm with a significant private client and estate planning practice serving high-net-worth individuals, families, and closely held businesses. Comparable in estate planning and business succession services, though at a larger scale and broader Mountain West/Midwest footprint.
