When Cases Get Tough, We See Them Through
Many law firms are set up to handle simple cases efficiently and effectively. But when they encounter unexpected twists and turns and a simple case becomes complex, they must enlist the assistance of another law firm. Often, that other law firm is Goldsmith & Guymon.
We take pride in being the law firm that others lawyers turn to in complex disputes. Our attorneys know how to assemble cases based on skillful management of the facts and effective legal strategies. When we take a case, we do not have to enlist the assistance of other law firms. We handle cases from start to finish toward a positive resolution, no matter how simple or complex the case may be.
Probate Litigation
Disputes during the probate process are not uncommon. Will contests, trust contests, rejected creditor claims and other issues arise frequently during the administration of an estate.
Resolving these disputes requires a thorough knowledge of the probate system. Probate disputes are not handled in the traditional manner — they are generally handled in front of a commissioner, not a judge. However, you have a right to have a judge hear most matters.
There are also other important differences. For example, will disputes can be resolved in front of a jury, while trust disputes cannot. You need an attorney who understands the nuances of the probate system. You will find that attorney at our firm.
Guardianship Litigation
In most cases, guardianship is a straight-forward process. However, disputes can arise over whether a ward actually needs a guardian or whether the petitioner is fit to be the guardian. Disputes can also arise when there are allegations of abuse, neglect, exploitation or theft.
Like probate disputes, guardianship disputes are handled differently than other legal matters. They are generally resolved in front of a commissioner, not a judge.
Many complex issues can arise that are unique to guardianship litigation. Litigation experience in other disputes does not necessarily prepare an attorney to handle this type of litigation. Our lawyers have relevant experience that may be crucial to helping you resolve a difficult family situation.
