A consummate professional who guided us through a complex estate

After my father's passing, my siblings and I faced a complicated estate with a family business and out-of-state property. We needed an attorney with deep local knowledge and a steady hand. Abby Diggins was exceptional. Her 26 years of experience, including her background clerking for the Maine Supreme Judicial Court, were evident from our first meeting. She expertly navigated the probate process, mediated potential disputes with clarity, and crafted solutions that honored my father's wishes. Her recognition in trusts and estates is well-deserved. The team at LeBlanc Diggins provided seamless support. We felt genuinely cared for and left with complete confidence in the outcome.
