Attorney

Antonette M. DuPree.

Throughout her career she has focused her efforts on leveling the playing field for employees, helping victims of personal injury, and helping clients protect their assets through estate plan drafting and probate administration.

Antonette DuPree is a graduate of UMKC School of Law. In her career she has helped found and manage two different law practices, it was during her first business venture with Spark! Legal Solutions, LLLP beginning in 2019, that she learned about the probate process and administration, probate litigation, and estate plan drafting.

Ms. DuPree appreciates the delicate nature of this work and strives to put clients at ease with a comprehensive, but compassionate approach to problem solving and asset management and protection strategies.

She has authored articles and training materials on individual constitutional rights, diversity and inclusion, and provides excellent educational content to her viewership through social media posts aimed at informing her potential client base.

Ms. DuPree was trained up in employment discrimination litigation by two women pioneers in the industry, Lynne Bratcher and Marie Gockel. Within the legal community, she is known for her commitment to the values of the profession, her courtesy and professionalism, and her sweet, approachable nature. In 2025, she was named to the Super Lawyers Rising Stars list.
