Stacy + Randall: A Father-Daughter Firm Built on 35 Years of Board Certification

Ryan Randall spent decades building a Dallas estate planning and probate practice before his daughter, Sadie Randall Stacy, joined him as a fellow attorney — and the two launched Stacy + Randall, LLP together as a formally independent, father-daughter firm. It’s a genuinely multi-generational practice in the most literal sense: 35 years of board-certified experience paired with a newer attorney who clerked in Dallas County’s own probate court before joining the family business. This profile is part of Awesome Attorneys’ coverage of Dallas estate planning attorney options.

At a Glance

Origin & Background

Ryan Randall brings more than 35 years of estate planning and probate law experience to the firm, earning his J.D. from Texas Tech University and holding Board Certification in Estate Planning and Probate Law from the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. He is a featured speaker at professional societies for financial advisors, planners, CPAs, and charitable organizations across Texas, providing instructional seminars on estate planning, charitable planning, and asset protection. Sadie Randall Stacy earned her J.D. from the University of North Texas at Dallas College of Law in 2018, and while in law school clerked for the Honorable Ingrid Warren in Dallas County Probate Court No. 2 — meaning she saw the inside of Dallas’s own probate bench before beginning her career representing clients before it. She practices estate planning and probate exclusively and was selected to the Texas Super Lawyers Rising Stars list for 2026. The firm launched formally as Stacy + Randall, LLP with its current Dallas office opening in November 2025, though Randall’s individual practice history in the field predates the current firm name by decades.

Dallas Estate Planning Attorney Practice Concentration

The firm concentrates on estate planning, probate, trust and estate administration, and business succession planning. Its self-described identity is a “multi-generational” practice in both senses of the term — Ryan Randall’s three-and-a-half decades of institutional experience combined with Sadie Randall Stacy’s newer entry to the field and specific probate-court clerkship background, aimed at giving clients continuity across a long-term attorney-client relationship spanning the two attorneys’ careers.

Track Record

As an estate planning and probate firm, Stacy + Randall does not publish individual case or estate-value figures given the private nature of these matters. Sadie Randall Stacy’s 2026 Super Lawyers Rising Star selection is a peer-nomination signal specific to attorneys early in their careers who show strong professional trajectory; Ryan Randall’s board certification is a credential earned and maintained over decades. Past recognition does not guarantee future results.

Client Voice

Awesome Attorneys searched for independently posted client reviews of Stacy + Randall specifically. Given the firm’s recent formal launch under its current name (November 2025), this profile did not locate a substantial independent review record under the current firm name at the time of this research — a genuine limitation disclosed directly rather than omitted. Prospective clients should ask for direct references given the firm’s newer branding, even though Ryan Randall’s underlying individual practice history spans decades.

Beyond the Courtroom

Ryan Randall’s speaking engagements before financial-advisor, CPA, and charitable-organization audiences reflect sustained engagement with the broader estate-planning professional ecosystem beyond direct client work. Sadie Randall Stacy has also become licensed to practice in Montana, expanding the firm’s capacity to assist clients with estate planning and real estate matters that cross state lines — relevant for Dallas clients with property or family connections outside Texas.

Recognition

Ryan Randall’s Board Certification in Estate Planning and Probate Law from the Texas Board of Legal Specialization is the substantive, exam-and-peer-vetted credential this profile treats as most significant, and the basis for describing his practice with the term “specialist.” Sadie Randall Stacy does not yet hold TBLS board certification — consistent with her earlier-career stage — though her Super Lawyers Rising Star selection and probate-court clerkship are genuine, if less formally rigorous, credentials appropriate to an attorney several years into practice.

Texas Legal Backdrop

Under Texas Estates Code § 256.003, a will generally must be admitted to probate within four years of the testator’s death, after which the estate is typically administered as if intestate except in limited circumstances. The firm’s business succession planning work draws on Texas Business Organizations Code provisions governing entity structuring, combined with federal estate and gift tax exemption planning, since Texas itself imposes no state estate tax. For clients with property or family in states like Montana, where Sadie Randall Stacy is separately licensed, coordinating estate plans across state lines requires attention to each state’s specific probate and property-title requirements alongside Texas law.

Awesome Attorneys Assessment

Stacy + Randall’s core strength is genuine: Ryan Randall’s 35 years of board-certified estate planning experience is a real, substantial credential, and Sadie Randall Stacy’s specific Dallas County Probate Court clerkship background gives her a direct, courtroom-informed perspective on the county’s own probate practices unusual for an attorney at her career stage. The father-daughter structure, if it functions as marketed, offers genuine continuity — a long-term relationship spanning two attorneys’ careers rather than a single practitioner’s working life.

The honest limitation is the firm’s recent formal branding: Stacy + Randall, LLP as currently constituted and located is new (November 2025 office opening), and this profile could not locate an independent client-review record under the current firm name. Ryan Randall’s individual track record predates this by decades, but prospective clients evaluating the firm as it exists today should factor in that the specific entity is new, even though its senior attorney is not.
