Expert guidance through a complex family trust dispute

Our family retained Mr. Goldberg to help resolve a contentious and emotionally charged dispute over the administration of my late father's trust. From our initial consultation, his deep knowledge of trusts and estates litigation was immediately apparent. He took the time to thoroughly explain the nuances of Maryland law and the specific clauses in the trust document that were under contention, which was invaluable for us as non-lawyers. His recognition in this specific field, including the recent Lawyer of the Year honor, gave us significant confidence in his strategic approach. Mr. Goldberg successfully navigated negotiations with the other beneficiaries' counsel, avoiding a costly and public court battle and achieving a settlement that honored my father's intentions. His professionalism and command of the details were exceptional throughout. The one area where we occasionally felt a slight delay was in receiving email responses during particularly busy periods, though his paralegal was always helpful in providing status updates. Overall, his 24 years of experience, particularly at a respected firm like Lerch, Early & Brewer, were evident in every step of the process. We are deeply grateful for his skilled representation during a difficult time.
