In many instances, we have helped to prevent protracted and expensive litigation before it might have started. We are adept at both informal and formal mediation and alternate forms of dispute resolution.
Diplomacy is our preferred approach to problem solving. Yet when diplomacy might fail, we are not averse to litigation as a last resort to dispute resolution.

Indeed, we have successfully represented trustees whose actions have been challenged in court and trust beneficiaries whose rights have been abridged whether it is in matters involving the validity of a contested trust, accountings by a trustee, or surcharge for and against a trustee for alleged breach of trust.
We have also successfully represented heirs in will contests ranging from the modest of estates to multi-million dollar estates.
And, we have represented conservators and conservatees in contested conservatorship proceedings in the context of a contested appointment, a contested accounting, financial elder abuse and improperly managed and/or misappropriated assets and/or income.
