After the passing of my father, our family was faced with the daunting task of navigating a complex estate that included a small family business, multiple properties, and significant tax implications. We were referred to Shirley Justice, and it was the best decision we could have made. From our first meeting, her nearly five decades of experience were evident. She didn't just see documents; she understood our family dynamics and the legacy my father wished to preserve. Shirley meticulously explained how her LLM in Taxation from George Washington University directly applied to our situation, crafting strategies that minimized tax burdens while ensuring my mother's financial security. Her deep knowledge of trusts and estates law, honed over 49 years, transformed a potentially contentious process into a smooth transition. It’s no surprise she was once named Lawyer of the Year in this field. Shirley and her team at Dentons Sirote were consistently responsive, patient with our questions, and unwaveringly professional. She anticipated issues we never would have considered, saving us considerable stress and future legal complications. We emerged not only with a perfectly executed estate plan but also with peace of mind, knowing everything was structured correctly. For any business owner or professional in Mobile facing similar planning needs, Shirley M. Justice is the definitive expert.
