Gant is absolutely as good as it gets. We met him when we needed an estate planning attorney and have used him for other matters unrelated. We will continue to rely on him should other legal matters present themselves. I can't say enough good things about him personally and professionally.

Gant McCloud is not only a highly credentialed estate planning attorney, he is also diligent, responsive, and kind, and we couldn’t be happier to see him starting his own law practice. Gant worked with us for over two years to rewrite two family trusts for a mentally ill family member that had originally been written in Massachusetts. He was extraordinarily patient and supportive as we asked many (many, many) detailed questions and micro-managed the entire rewrite through many (many, many) iterations as we repeatedly changed our minds along the way. About halfway through the process, the grantor was rushed to the hospital and his prognosis was uncertain. Gant pulled out all the stops to incorporate numerous pending changes and rushed to the hospital the next afternoon to execute the trusts. We cannot thank him enough for seeing us through and we highly commend him, most especially to anyone in need of expertise for complex trusts and estate planning.

Gant got our Estate planning ahead of schedule and under budget! He was professional and pleasant, as well as the rest of the staff. Thanks to everyone!

I am an orthodontist with 3 corporations, real-estate, and a family. I searched for an attorney with experience in estate planning, taxation, trusts, and business succession. Gant McCloud had all of these qualifications and is not only dual degreed, but also holds a Master’s in Taxation. He is professional, diligent, and responsive. He is easy-going and has a unique ability to explain complex matters in simple terms. Gant gave me trustworthy information and sound recommendations.

My husband and I retained Gant to redo our wills and trusts. We found him to be quite knowledgeable, extremely accommodating, and compassionate. He took the time to explain all the nuances in preparing these documents which were very detailed. We would highly recommend Gant to anyone who requires assistance in preparing wills, trusts, power of attorney etc. He will not disappoint.
