I engaged Aline Recktenwald at Withers to help restructure a family trust that had become outdated and administratively burdensome. Her deep knowledge in Trusts and Estates was immediately apparent. She expertly navigated the nuances of New York law, clearly explaining the tax implications and long-term benefits of different structures. It was reassuring to work with an attorney whose expertise is formally recognized by Best Lawyers. Aline was thoughtful, patient with our family's questions, and crafted a solution that perfectly balanced my parents' wishes with practical governance. The only minor critique is that during particularly busy periods, there were occasional delays in email responses, though her associate was always available. Overall, her strategic advice was invaluable, and I would confidently recommend her for sophisticated estate planning.
