I engaged Patrick Mc Ilhone at Gowling WLG for assistance with restructuring a family trust that had become outdated and administratively burdensome. While his primary practice is in Hamilton, his cross-border expertise was invaluable for our situation in San Jose. His recognition by Best Lawyers in Trusts and Estates was evident in his meticulous approach; he navigated the complexities of both Ontario law principles and our California-specific requirements with clear, confident advice. Patrick is exceptionally knowledgeable and took great care to explain every step. The process was thorough, and we feel our assets are now properly structured for the future. The only minor critique would be that communication sometimes had a slight delay during peak periods, but the quality of the final work was never compromised. I highly recommend his services for estate planning needs.
