Fiduciary Litigation
Protecting Trust, Accountability, and Estate Integrity

When allegations arise regarding mismanagement, breach of duty, or conflicts of interest, swift and strategic action is essential.

- Misappropriation or Fraud – Claims involving missing assets, unauthorized transfers, or financial abuse.
