After my father’s passing, my siblings and I were faced with the daunting task of administering a complicated estate involving multiple properties and a family trust. We engaged Edward Marcantonio of Brody Wilkinson, and it was the best decision we could have made. With over three decades of experience, his knowledge of Connecticut trusts and estates law is profound. He patiently explained every step of the process, from interpreting the trust documents to navigating probate court filings in Fairfield County. His background, including his recognition in the field of Trusts and Estates, was immediately evident in his strategic and meticulous approach. What truly set him apart was his ability to anticipate potential family disputes and address them proactively with clear, compassionate communication. He transformed what could have been a stressful, contentious situation into a smooth and equitable administration. Mr. Marcantonio is not just a highly skilled attorney; he is a trusted advisor who genuinely cares about achieving the best outcome for his clients. We are profoundly grateful for his exceptional service and professionalism.
