Competent estate planning, but communication could improve

Kacie Gent at Cummings & Lockwood assisted my husband and me with updating our wills and establishing a trust. Her knowledge of trusts and estates is evident, and her decade of experience in the Private Clients Group provided solid technical guidance. The documents were thorough and tailored to our Greenwich-based assets. However, the process felt somewhat transactional. There were periods of several days where we didn't receive updates on document drafts, and we sometimes had to follow up more than once. While her recognition in this field is well-deserved for the legal work itself, we expected more proactive communication for the level of service. The final product is sound, but the client experience was merely adequate.
