Disputes over the validity of a will or distribution of the estate will strain family bonds. When lines are drawn and relatives take sides, the conflict can escalate to a point of no return.
At Kirsch Gartenberg Howard LLP, we strive to bring reason and perspective to probate litigation while protecting our clients' interests. Trial lawyer Thomas Howard and estate lawyer Amie Gartenberg have each practiced in probate and estate law for 30 years, including representation in contested wills and other disputes.
