Competent estate planning, but communication could be more consistent

I engaged Kelsi Lane at Frazer Ryan Goldberg & Arnold to assist with updating my estate plan, including a trust and will, following my mother's passing. Her knowledge in trust administration and probate was evident. She has a clear grasp of Arizona law, and her background, including the recognition from Super Lawyers, suggests a strong professional standing. The documents she drafted were thorough and addressed the complexities of my family's assets. However, my experience was mixed on the service side. While Kelsi was personable in our meetings, there were periods of several days where responses to emails were slower than I expected, which added to my anxiety during an already stressful time. The process also felt somewhat more transactional than I had hoped; I sometimes had to follow up to get clarity on next steps. For straightforward legal work, she is certainly capable and her firm has a good reputation in Phoenix. My expectations for a more proactive and communicative partnership, given her 11 years of experience, were only partially met. The legal product was sound, but the client service experience was merely adequate.
