Chip Morrison, J.D.

Estate planning attorney Chip Morrison believes the best way to protect a family is to prevent conflict before it starts. Since founding Morrison Law Group, PLC in 2004, he has focused on proactive, practical planning that keeps families out of court and in control of their legacy.

Chip is the Founder and CEO of Morrison Law Group, PLC. He has built one of Louisiana’s most trusted estate planning practices, dedicated to wills, trusts, successions, and special needs planning. Under his leadership, the firm expanded to Covington in 2021 through a partnership with Ronda M. Gabb, forming Gabb Morrison LLP and allowing the team to serve families from Metairie to the Northshore.

Louisiana Board-Certified Estate Planning Law Specialist

Chip is a Board-Certified Estate Planning Law Specialist, a credential earned by fewer than 1% of Louisiana attorneys. The Louisiana Board of Legal Specialization awards this certification, which demonstrates his expertise in Louisiana’s unique inheritance laws and dedication to staying current through yearly advanced training.

With more than 20 years of experience, Chip doesn’t “dabble” in different areas of law — he’s a true specialist who has dedicated his entire career to estate planning. By focusing on one area and mastering it, he delivers expert, results-driven solutions that give families lasting peace of mind.

Chip’s practice covers the full scope of estate and wealth planning, including:

• Estate Plans that clearly outline how assets should pass
• Louisiana Successions (Probate) to settle estates efficiently and in accordance with state law
• Trust Administration to ensure plans are carried out smoothly

• Elder Law & Medicaid Planning for long-term care and asset protection
• Powers of Attorney and Health-Care Directives for peace of mind during incapacity
• Continuing Tutorships & Interdictions to support families caring for adults who can’t make their own decisions
• Retirement & Investment Planning that aligns legal strategies with financial goals for a truly comprehensive approach

Integrated Wealth & Retirement Planning

As a Board-Certified Estate Planning Attorney and an Investment Advisor Representative (IAR), Chip offers a coordinated approach that connects every detail—each client’s estate plan and financial strategy working in sync. This rare combination of credentials gives his clients a clear advantage, allowing for truly integrated planning that protects what they’ve built from start to finish. Through Morrison Law Group’s Private Client Wealth Services, he extends this holistic approach to help families align their legal and financial goals seamlessly.

Families choose this comprehensive approach to build wealth, protect it, and pass it on. As a result, their estate planning stays seamless and straightforward. With everything managed under one roof, each part of the plan works together as intended.  This coordination helps ensure that trusts are properly funded and that beneficiary designations align with the overall estate plan. This unified approach to estate and retirement planning reduces confusion and minimizes the risk of costly mistakes.

Chip’s approach to planning is forward-thinking. He helps families anticipate retirement, tax, and estate issues before they arise. With proven experience in estate law and investing, he offers balanced, practical strategies—not one-sided advice. As a trusted advisor, he guides clients through each stage of planning and investing with clarity and confidence.

Family & Louisiana Roots

Home for Chip and his wife, Kim, is in Mandeville, where they’re raising their three children—Caroline, Meredith, and Reid. When he’s not helping families plan for the future, Chip can usually be found outdoors enjoying all things Louisiana—fishing, hunting, boiling crawfish, or cheering on LSU.

His mission to help families protect what they’ve built is deeply personal. He has experienced firsthand how a lack of planning or protection in place can lead to conflict and hardship across generations. Because of that experience, he’s driven to ensure others don’t face the same struggles. Those Louisiana roots and strong family values shape his down-to-earth approach to estate planning and the compassion he brings to every client relationship.

Estate planning doesn’t have to be overwhelming—or something you put off until it’s too late. Chip and his team make the process straightforward and personal—no jargon, no pressure—just clear steps and a plan that protects your family and gives you peace of mind.
