Rebecca Block Autin
Estate Planning Attorney
Rebecca brings 11 years of legal experience to Oak Grove, having clerked for Judge John E. Conery on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals and practiced at Block Law Firm and Maison Title. Her experience in title work opened her eyes to the importance of estate planning—ensuring that people of all ages have their wishes known and affairs in order.
“I am thrilled to learn from and work with Andrew, Shelley, and Tressa. I think we are going to make a strong team.”
A native of Thibodaux and Franklin, Rebecca now calls Lafayette home with her husband, Quinton, a CPA, and their three children—Maxwell, Fitzgerald, and Heatherly. When she’s not practicing law, you can find her sharing her passion for mahjong as a teacher at Hub City Mahj!
Shelley Stelly
Estate Planning Paralegal
As Estate Planning Paralegal at Oak Grove Estate Planning, Shelley brings 17 years of legal experience and a genuine heart for helping others to every client she serves. Whether she’s gathering information, answering questions, or drafting the documents that shape a family’s legacy, Shelley works to ensure each client feels confident, cared for, and at ease throughout the entire planning process.
What she loves most about her role is knowing that her work has a lasting impact. “It’s incredibly rewarding to help people put the right pieces in place so they can relax and enjoy life—knowing the rest is taken care of.”
Before joining Oak Grove, Shelley wore many hats across different areas of the legal field, but she’s always found the most meaning in the kind of work that directly helps people protect what matters most.
She lives in Lafayette with her two dogs and enjoys having her daughter home from Northwestern on the weekends. Shelley happily admits she misses her days as a soccer mom, but now fills her time with gardening, reading, crocheting, and creative projects—plus the occasional well-earned evening holding the couch down in front of the TV.
One of her favorite quotes comes from Jim Rohn:
“There are four questions I want you to ponder that will change your life: Why? Why not? Why not you? Why not now?”
It’s a reminder she returns to often—especially when it’s time to set fear aside and move forward with purpose.
Tressa Rose
Client Services Coordinator
As Client Services Coordinator at Oak Grove Estate Planning, Tressa is the first welcoming voice many of our clients hear—and the steady guide they count on throughout their planning journey. From that initial phone call to the final document signing, she helps ensure every client feels informed, supported, and cared for.
With a background in legal administration and a heart for serving others, Tressa brings both professionalism and warmth to every interaction. Her favorite part of the job is helping families find peace of mind through thoughtful, values-driven planning.
Tressa currently lives in Youngsville with her three dogs—Murphee, Oaklee, and Ellie. On the weekends, she enjoys walking through the neighborhood, spending time at the dog park, and being with her children and grandchildren. She’s always up for a good chick flick and finds comfort in reading her Bible, especially this verse:
“I will walk by faith, not by sight—even when I cannot see.” – 2 Corinthians 5:7
It’s a reminder she carries into both her personal life and her work, helping others find peace through uncertain times.
