Erin provides tenacious, pragmatic advocacy to clients in the midst of difficult fiduciary litigation.
Erin came to the practice of law nearly 20 years ago as a civil litigator, handling a wide variety of cases. An assertive, driven personality who loved debate and oral argument, Erin thrived on winning for clients, and a decade ago, she began taking on fiduciary litigation and contested probate and trust cases. She loved having the opportunity to assist clients in such a personal area of law, and her fiduciary practice slowly grew.
Today, Erin practices almost exclusively in this niche field, representing individuals on all sides of contested probate administration, contested trust administration, guardianship cases, allegations of undue influence or incompetency during the drafting of estate planning documents, and other controversies surrounding the making or administering of estate plans. She also defends fiduciaries against actions seeking their removal. Erin frequently represents clients in evidentiary hearings and bench trials.
Known as a tenacious and determined advocate, Erin blends strategy with pragmatism in every case she handles. Recognizing the emotional toll that disputes over wills or inheritances can have on families, she collaborates closely with clients, helping them see the situation from an outsider’s perspective. Ultimately, every legal move Erin makes is tailored to steer clients towards a successful resolution.
