After my father's passing, my siblings and I faced a daunting and emotionally charged probate process complicated by a blended family and a contested trust. Lisa Monihan was our anchor. Her 41 years of experience, particularly her deep focus on trusts and estates, were immediately evident. She expertly navigated the litigation threats while preserving family relationships, a testament to her recognition in both planning and dispute resolution. Lisa explained complex tax implications with clarity, directly applying the expertise that earned her those 'Lawyer of the Year' honors. Her strategic guidance from Schneider Bell resulted in a harmonious and efficient settlement. She is not just a brilliant attorney; she is a compassionate counselor who protects both your assets and your peace.
