Sacks, Glazier, Franklin & Lodise, LLP is a Los Angeles-based boutique litigation firm with a practice focused solely on significant and complex disputes concerning estates, trusts and conservatorships. Our firm’s narrow practice means we have an in-depth understanding of trusts and estates law, and the unique issues that often arise in these high-stakes disputes.
At other firms, even within the trusts and estates department, clients may be represented by an estate planning lawyer who occasionally handles litigation or by a litigator with limited trial experience in the probate courts. However, because we exclusively represent clients in trusts and estates litigation, the firm puts our appreciable experience to work to obtain favorable results.
We deliver skillful representation throughout California to both fiduciaries and beneficiaries, including charitable organizations, banks and trust companies, major educational institutions, businesses of all sizes, and high-net-worth individuals. We regularly go head-to-head with the biggest and best litigation firms when it comes to trusts and estates matters – and win.
Our work stands out in the legal marketplace, not just for our successes on behalf of clients, but also for the ways in which we help shape the future of trusts and estates law. Sacks, Glazier, Franklin & Lodise attorneys hold countless leadership positions in local and national organizations which impact laws and policies in estate, trust, probate and conservatorship issues. Several of our partners are Fellows in the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel – an invitation-only, preeminent organization in the trusts and estates industry that aims to improve and reform probate, trust and tax laws, procedures, and professional responsibility.
The firm considers diversity and inclusion essential to our success, and this is reflected in our hiring practices and initiatives in the legal industry and beyond. Throughout the firm’s history, we have prioritized bringing on women attorneys and those of diverse backgrounds. Our attorneys spearhead numerous programs to support minority lawyers and advance diversity and inclusion in the legal community.
