Michael Steven Minot

My parents created two trusts 27 years ago. When my father died I became co-trustee with my mother. After my mother died, four of the beneficiaries filed a lawsuit against me requesting over 30 years of records. I turned to my mother’s business attorney for help. After one year with my first attor...ney it became clear that I needed a lawyer who was an expert in representing trustees. I started asking other attorneys we had used over the past 25 years who was the best trust litigation attorney in Brevard County? Every attorney that I asked, and everyone my wife asked said Mike Minot. I met with Mr. Minot and explained that the opposing counsel appeared to be winning. After meeting him in his office I knew I needed Mike Minot to represent me. I was aware that transitions from one attorney to another are not always easy. But Mike Minot did everything by the book. He stepped in and immediately began asserting new defenses and counterclaims citing previous court cases favorable to my position. The attack from Plaintiff’s counsel was stopped. Suddenly, it felt like I was the one winning. Mr. Minot kept me informed throughout. Although the case was very complicated he answered my questions in a way that I could understand. Mike Minot’s hard work paved the way for a favorable resolution to this litigation which resulted in a settlement to the beneficiaries which was less than what they would have received had they not filed a lawsuit. Mike Minot has my highest recommendation.
