Business & Leadership: Gabb Morrison LLP

Inside Gabb Morrison LLP

PLANNING WITH PURPOSE

When longtime friends and colleagues Ronda M. Gabb and Ronald “Chip” Morrison, Jr. merged their practices, it was more than just a business decision. It was two teams with shared values coming together with the shared belief that families deserve better than complicated legal jargon, rushed decisions, and unnecessary litigation. Together they form Gabb Morrison LLP, a firm focused on helping Louisiana families plan with clarity and confidence.

With more than 50 years of combined experience, Gabb Morrison includes four attorneys, two of whom are board certified by the Louisiana Board of Legal Specialization, and a skilled staff that includes four Louisiana notaries. Together, they guide families through both the legal complexities and the emotional weight of estate planning.

The firm is built around the belief that estate planning is not just about documents. It is about people, and it is deeply personal. Whether sitting with a family in crisis or helping parents of a child with special needs put a plan in place, the team shows up with both legal knowledge and emotional intelligence.

Much of their work is proactive, focused on preventing conflict and preserving peace of mind. Their mission is to help families protect the things they have worked their whole lives for-homes, savings, family businesses - so those gifts aren’t lost to court battles, taxes, or confusion down the road. “One of our biggest challenges has been helping clients navigate planning during a crisis, after a diagnosis, a loss, or a legal emergency,” Ronda said. “These are highly emotional, time-sensitive situations that require more than legal knowledge. They require empathy, patience, and the ability to guide families through uncertainty with confidence.”

Outside the office, the team shares the same joys and challenges as the families they serve. School events. Crawfish boils. Football Saturdays. They live the life stages their clients are planning for.

Success for them is no longer about achievement. “It is about the impact we are able to make on the lives of our clients,” Chip said. “That sense of purpose in the work we do has made all the difference.”
