Katelyn Gunn handled the creation of our family trust and was clearly knowledgeable, as her 'Top Lawyer' recognition suggests. Her background in sophisticated estate planning from Tulane was evident in the thorough documents she drafted. However, the process felt somewhat impersonal. Responses to emails often took several business days, and while she explained the legal concepts, we sometimes felt rushed during meetings, needing to follow up for clarification on next steps. For straightforward estate planning, she gets the job done correctly. For someone seeking more hand-holding or frequent updates, expectations should be set early. Her expertise in trusts is solid, but the client experience was merely adequate.
