We have represented individuals and families in contested estate litigation in Cook County and DuPage County, and have represented clients as far away as Switzerland who were involved in probate litigation in Chicago. Recently, our law firm obtained substantial relief for a client in a rare jury trial in Cook County probate court involving ownership of real estate, multiple financial investment accounts and other property valued at approximately $1.5 million. After the four-day jury trial, 9 women and 3 men reached a unanimous verdict that awarded 6 of the 7 disputed assets to our client.
