Estate planning often feels like a choice between two unsatisfying options: the over-engineered, expensive services of a traditional attorney, or the impersonal, one-size-fits-all approach of online platforms. Both can leave you feeling unheard and unsatisfied, like just another name slotted into a confusing web of forms.

You and your family deserve a better option.

At Pappas Gibson, we listen much more than we talk, and we seek to understand you rather than impress or confuse you. That understanding is then paired with our years of experience helping thousands of clients, so that you receive a bespoke estate plan that aligns seamlessly with the unique contours of your needs and objectives.

In a field often characterized by cookie-cutter solutions, we bring a tailored approach, putting the client first, making the complex feel accessible, and making the overwhelming manageable.
