I engaged Devon Michaelis at Withers to assist with the administration of my late father's estate, which involved a family-owned business and several out-of-state properties. The tax implications alone were daunting. Devon's dual recognition in both Trusts and Estates and Tax Law by Best Lawyers was immediately evident. He provided clear, strategic advice that navigated the intricacies of Connecticut probate while minimizing the estate tax burden. His approach was methodical, and he took the time to explain each step in plain language, which brought our family significant peace of mind during a difficult time. The one area where I noticed a slight delay was in receiving responses to non-urgent emails, which sometimes took a couple of days. However, when matters were time-sensitive, he was always prompt. Overall, his expertise was invaluable, and I would confidently recommend him for sophisticated estate planning and tax-related legal needs.
