- Trust Disputes – Addressing allegations of mismanagement, breach of fiduciary duty, or conflicting interpretations of trust terms.
- Fiduciary Litigation – Representing executors, trustees, and administrators accused of misconduct or defending against such claims.
- Estate or Trust Mismanagement – Pursuing or defending claims involving improper asset distribution, financial abuse, or self-dealing.

Trusted Guidance When the Stakes Are High
Disputes involving the death of a loved one or a family trust can be emotionally and financially taxing. We recognize the need for sensitivity, confidentiality, and efficiency. Our attorneys aim to preserve family relationships where possible while protecting our clients from loss, liability, or unfair treatment. We work to resolve matters outside the courtroom when feasible but are ready to pursue or defend litigation when necessary.
Mediation and Settlement Strategies
Because estate and fiduciary disputes are often personal in nature, we emphasize the value of skilled negotiation and mediation to resolve issues efficiently and preserve family assets. Our attorneys frequently resolve estate disputes through mediation, avoiding protracted court battles and the public airing of private family matters.
