Our firm exists to help those who wish to obtain legal protection and security for their families, sometimes in the wake of a personal, professional, or financial loss, and this position is crucial in allowing us to effectively help them.

Specifically, the attorney will work exclusively as a member of our Fiduciary Litigation Team, which is a specialized practice group within our Estate Administration Department. The Team is made up of an internal team of support professionals and attorneys who specialize in complex litigation surrounding Trusts, Estates, Guardianships, and Powers of Attorney.

This allows our attorneys to focus on their core talents and work efficiently.

Our firm is professionally managed, and our office is a team environment. You will be working with other dedicated members of our team who work hard to get the job done right, who take pride in their work, and who support each other through thick and thin. Every year since 2022, we have earned the prestigious “Great Place to Work” certification, with an average of 95% of our employees over the last four years praising our firm as a great place to work in an anonymous third-party survey. Our approach has allowed us to succeed and build a loyal client base that has sustained our strong growth and has earned us various awards as well as enthusiastic client reviews.

Additional qualifications include:

• Excellent communication skills and ability to genuinely connect with clients and potential clients.

• Experience in fiduciary or estate litigation is a plus, but not required.
• Experience in the administration of trusts and estates is a plus, but not required.
