About Our Firm

At Gaughan & Connealy, we like to think of ourselves as part lawyer, part family therapist, and part personal assistant—minus the drama and the coffee runs. When you become a client, you’re basically family, and here’s what that means for you:

  • Unlimited phone calls—yes, you can call us as much as you want (but no, we won’t help you move).
  • The “My Legacy” workbook—think of it as your family’s personal time capsule, minus the musty basement smell.
  • E-Alerts—we keep you in the loop with monthly updates, so you’re always in the know (and can impress your friends at dinner parties).
  • Free workshops—exclusive to our clients, because who doesn’t love a good PowerPoint with snacks?
  • A post-loss consultation—we’ll be there for you during the tough times, guiding your family through the legal maze after the loss of a loved one, tissues included.

As proud members of the American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys, we’ve got connections. Whether you move states or need a referral for your cousin in California, we’ve got a qualified lawyer in our corner ready to help.

Our secret to success? It’s simple:

  • We love helping families—we might cry at your family reunion stories, no judgment.
  • We know our stuff—estate planning is like solving a complex puzzle, and we’re really good at puzzles.
  • Experienced team—we’ve been doing this for a while, so you’re in good hands.
  • No surprises—except the good kind, like when you find money in an old coat pocket.

Second Heading SEO

Our mission is to make a real difference, one family at a time (cue the heartfelt piano music).

After seven years in litigation (read: arguing a lot), Chris Gaughan had an epiphany in 2011 and decided to switch gears to estate planning. His lifelong buddy, Casey Connealy, joined forces a few months later, and boom—Gaughan & Connealy was born. Now, we’re proud to call ourselves the go-to estate planning firm in Kansas and Missouri.

We specialize in practical, creative solutions to life’s trickiest estate planning challenges. Estate law is complicated, but we love a good challenge—and helping you plan your future is what we do best.
