Our Story
Martin Postic, Jr., graduated from the University of Oklahoma College of Law in May 1980 and entered private practice in Moore, Oklahoma in October 1980. In January 1982, Marty incorporated his practice as Martin Postic, Jr., A Professional Corporation, continuing a general practice of law in Moore focusing on estate planning, real estate, and probate law. Due to the need for more office space, Marty broke ground on the Shadowlake Law Center in south Oklahoma City in September 1982.
After construction was completed, the current law office was officially opened on June 1, 1983. In order to make better use of the office space, major remodeling was performed in 1985, which resulted in a new reception area, more attorney/client privacy, and a larger work room to accommodate computer equipment and additional filing space. In April 1987, Julie E. Bates, Marty’s wife, joined the practice and the firm name was changed to Postic & Bates, A Professional Corporation. Marty and Julie’s son David Postic joined the practice in September 2016.

We believe the cornerstone of our success is the quality of services we provide to our clients at an affordable price. To do this, we abide by three core values:
Painlessness
Many people dread going to an attorney's office more than a doctor's office. At Postic & Bates, we do our best to make the legal aspects of planning your estate, dealing with the death of a loved one, buying a house, or adopting a child as comfortable and un-intimating as possible.
Integrity
All of our clients are treated with integrity and respect for their needs and goals. In providing clients with this representation, we focus on making the legal process as open and transparent as possible by communicating with you and keeping you informed of the status of your case. Our billing and accounting practices are also made available to clients upon request.
Education
It can often be difficult to anticipate what will happen in the future, particularly when crafting your estate plan. Because our goal is to help you achieve your legal objectives, we take great care to inform you about all of the legal options available so you can make an informed, thoughtful decision. Our attorneys are always available to answer any legal questions you may have.
At Postic & Bates, we work hard to make estate planning, adoptions, and other legal transactions as simple and painless as possible. For this reason we provide a relaxing, lighthearted environment for our clients to obtain the information and the legal services they need.
