Competent estate planning, but communication could be clearer

I engaged Stephen Brown at Young Moore and Henderson to assist with updating my family's estate plan, including a revocable trust and healthcare directives. Stephen's background in Trusts and Estates law is evident; he was knowledgeable about the specific North Carolina statutes and his recognition in this practice area is well-deserved. The documents he drafted were thorough and reflected an understanding of the nuances involved in structuring assets for blended families. However, my experience was mixed. While the final product was solid, there were periods of several days where I received no response to my emails, which created some anxiety during the process. When we did connect, his explanations were technically sound but occasionally felt rushed, leaving me with follow-up questions. For straightforward estate planning, Stephen is a capable attorney who clearly has nearly a decade of experience in this field, as his profile states. I would recommend him for the legal work itself, but with the caveat that clients may need to be proactive in managing communication timelines and seeking clarification on points that aren't immediately clear. The value was fair for the Charlotte market, but the service aspect felt merely adequate.
