Hi, this is Keith Davidson at Albertson & Davidson. We spend a lot of our time fighting against bad trustees and trying to defend the rights of beneficiaries. Unfortunately, the only way we can hold somebody’s feet to the fire is to take them to court. And the only way to get a petition finalized through court is by trail. You have to go to trial and judge has to make a decision.
But, in many cases, the case will settle before trial with a voluntary settlement. Unfortunately, we can’t make the other side settle. But what we can do is we can attack your case with energy, excitement and put as much pressure on the other side so that they know that we mean business and that we’re going to stick up for the rights of the beneficiaries.
And more often than not, that type of representation will result in a favorable settlement. But if it doesn’t, you have to head to trial and that’s where you ultimately will get the resolution in your case.
