Bobbi Bierhals provided outstanding guidance as we navigated a multi-generational trust restructuring. Her 24 years of experience, particularly her recognized expertise in trusts and estates, were immediately apparent. She crafted a sophisticated, tax-efficient strategy that addressed our family's unique business holdings and long-term goals. Her Harvard-honed analytical skills and creative approach to custom solutions were invaluable. The process was thorough, and her professionalism is top-tier. While communication response times could occasionally be quicker during peak periods, this is a minor note. For high-net-worth families in Chicago needing nuanced tax and estate planning, Bobbi at McDermott Will & Schulte is an excellent choice.
