Wealth Disputes
You must read the following notice before sending an e-mail message to Robins Kaplan LLP.
Any information that you send us in an e-mail message should not be confidential or otherwise privileged information. Sending us an e-mail message will not make you a client of Robins Kaplan LLP. We do not accept representation until we have had an opportunity to evaluate your matter, including but not limited to an ethical evaluation of whether we are in a conflict position to represent you. Accordingly, the information you provide to us in an e-mail should not be information for which you would have an expectation of confidentiality.
If you are interested in having us represent you, you should call us so we can determine whether the matter is one for which we are willing or able to accept professional responsibility. We will not make this determination by e-mail communication. The telephone numbers and addresses for our offices are listed on this page. We reserve the right to decline any representation. We may be required to decline representation if it would create a conflict of interest with our other clients.
By accepting these terms, you are confirming that you have read and understood this important notice.
Trusts, estates, and fiduciary disputes come with unique challenges, often driven by complicated and interwoven legal, emotional, financial, and strategic factors. When a problem involving an estate or a fiduciary obligation becomes litigious, clients need problem solvers they can trust; attorneys with deep experience and knowledge of the contested matters clients face.
At Robins Kaplan LLP, our mastery of wealth litigation, fiduciary law, the courtroom, and challenging contests lead us to excel at protecting and preserving assets, and resolving disputes.
Our national reputation for litigation excellence includes wins in the fiduciary arena for trustees and fiduciaries, personal representatives, beneficiaries, guardians, and conservators.
In addition, our wealth dispute lawyers have an in-depth understanding of the complicated system of laws and regulations that control various fiduciary obligations, end-of-life wealth distribution, and property and asset valuation.
We also know the best ways to navigate the emotional issues that often come up in wealth disputes. Whether litigating fiduciary matters, inheritance or succession issues, or contested charitable donations, we help clients cut through confusion to find a path to resolution.
Our attorneys have deep experience representing beneficiaries, trustees, and co-personal representatives in jurisdictions across the nation, including Minnesota, New York, California, and Massachusetts. In addition, because of the specific demands of South Dakota trust litigation, our Sioux Falls office has a dedicated focus on the resolution of South Dakota trust disputes.
Managed by Brendan Johnson, who previously served as the presidentially appointed United States Attorney for the District of South Dakota, our South Dakota trust litigation practice combines the resources and experience of a national law firm with an in-depth understanding of South Dakota litigation and South Dakota trust disputes.
