Expert guidance through a complex estate settlement

My family was overwhelmed after the passing of my father, who left a complex estate with assets in multiple states and a blended family situation. We needed an attorney with deep knowledge of trusts and estates law and a steady, compassionate hand. Caitlin Orr was recommended to us, and her counsel was invaluable. She expertly navigated the probate process in D.C. while coordinating with counsel in other jurisdictions, ensuring everything was handled efficiently and correctly. Her recognition in the field of Trusts and Estates, which we learned about during our search, was immediately evident in her strategic approach. Caitlin explained every step in clear terms, was always responsive, and helped mediate sensitive family discussions with remarkable professionalism. The entire process was resolved more smoothly than we could have hoped. I cannot recommend Caitlin and the team at McDermott Will & Schulte highly enough for anyone facing similar challenges.
