Highly Recommend

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 ori...ginally 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 estate planning.

Excellent Estate, Tax, and Business Succession Planning

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 pro...fessional, 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.

Gant was retained to redo our wills ,trusts, living will, power of attorney etc. as we had relocated to Florida. From the moment we met him, we knew we had chosen an excellent attorney who was well versed in estate planning. Gant was methodical, and patient in explaining all the intricacies invol...ved in properly preparing these documents. I would highly recommend him.

Excellent

I have hired Gant to work on many projects over the years. From Trust documents to reviewing NDA’s. I have always been impressed with Gant's work and the speed he finishes the project. I highly recommend Gant to anyone searching for a trustworthy and professional attorney.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
