Importance of Hiring a Qualified Estate Planning & Trust Litigation Attorney

Many people make the mistake of hiring an attorney who is either an estate planner with little or no experience with litigation or litigators with minimal or no experience with estates and trusts to handle their estate and trust litigation case. Eastwood Estate and Probate Law is experienced in these specialized areas. In estate litigation cases, we believe that retaining a strong litigator who is also a proficient estates and trust attorney is crucial for success.
