Our family was facing a contentious and emotionally draining dispute over the administration of my late father's trust. We needed an attorney who was not only knowledgeable in trusts and estates but also understood the nuances of litigation in this sensitive area. Thomas Wedgwood at Peck Ritchey was recommended to us, and his representation was nothing short of exceptional. From our first meeting, his grasp of the complex financial and legal issues was evident. He patiently explained our options, outlining a clear strategy that balanced firm advocacy with a practical approach to resolution. His background in representing both individuals and fiduciaries gave him a unique perspective that proved invaluable. Thomas guided us through mediation with professionalism and skill, ultimately securing a settlement that honored my father's wishes and preserved family relationships. His recognition in Elder Law and Trusts and Estates is well-deserved. For anyone in the Chicago area navigating similar challenges, I cannot recommend Thomas highly enough.
