Skilled and strategic guidance through a complex trust dispute

Stacie Nelson provided exceptional counsel during a contentious family trust litigation. Her deep knowledge of trusts and estates law was immediately evident, and her strategic approach was invaluable. While her billing rates reflect her standing at a top firm like Holland & Knight, the quality of her work justified the investment. Her recognition as Lawyer of the Year in this field is clearly well-deserved. Communication was generally excellent, though there were occasional delays in email responses during particularly busy periods. Overall, her seven years of focused experience and sharp litigation skills from her USC Gould School of Law background made a critical difference in achieving a favorable settlement for our family.
