Tell us what happened
Most people who call aren’t sure whether what they’re seeing is a legal problem. Describe it in plain terms and we’ll tell you plainly whether there’s a claim worth bringing — and what the next step would be.
How a first call works
A first conversation is a conversation, not a commitment. You tell us what happened — a will that surfaced late, a sibling who moved money, an executor who won’t account, a signature that doesn’t look right — and we tell you whether the facts describe something the law recognizes. If they do, we explain how a matter like yours usually proceeds, what it tends to cost, and how long it tends to take. If they don’t, we say so, and you’ve lost nothing but the length of a phone call.
We handle contested estates and trusts throughout New Jersey, New York and Florida: will contests, undue influence and capacity claims, fiduciary removals, disputed accountings and estate administration.
Send a message
Write it the way you’d explain it to a friend. Your message goes directly to both Russell Fishkind and Ronald Colicchio, and one of them will respond personally.
What to have ready
None of this is required for a first call — it just helps us give you a straighter answer sooner:
- The name of the person who passed and roughly when.
- Any will, trust, or codicil you have a copy of — including older versions.
- Who is serving as executor, administrator or trustee.
- What changed, and when you first noticed it.
- Any letters or filings you’ve already received from a court or another attorney.
