Brian Bixby has more than four decades of experience in all aspects of estate planning and fiduciary administration – including mediation, conciliation, probate court litigation, appeals, family law, guardianships and conservatorships, and representation of individuals and fiduciaries. He also offers trust protector services, ensuring that a trust is not adversely impacted by evolving laws and regulations.
Prior to joining Wilchins Cosentino & Novins, Brian spent 25 years as the Chair of the Private Client Group at Burns & Levinson and was also the head of the firm’s Fiduciary Litigation Department.
He is both an experienced litigator and negotiator, helping clients reach an agreement on a dispute either before or during litigation.

Brian is frequently requested as a speaker at events sponsored by the Massachusetts Bar Association, the Boston Bar Association and other organizations with a focus on estate and probate matters.
Brian summarizes his work for his clients succinctly: “I have been helping people solve their problems for many years. That’s why I became an attorney – to end (or avoid) years of uncertainty and anguish for my clients.”

Does not have your best interest in mind
Wish I didn't hire him. He was really difficult to deal with and did not resolve my issue. He would forget details and repeat himself, while racking up billable hours. I wasted so much time and money that I will never get back.
