Practice Areas

Probate 34%

I focus on contested probates, guardianships, conservatorship and trusts. I represent beneficiaries as well as fiduciaries, including personal representatives, trustees, guardians and conservators. I defend or contest wills, trusts and lifetime transfers of assets which involve claims of lack of capacity, undue influence, and financial exploitation of vulnerable adults. These claims involve personal emotions including greed, love and autonomy of family members

34%
Business 20%

I advise owners of small businesses on employment decisions.

20%
Guardianship 20%

Guardianship and conservatorship proceedings involve claims of diminished capacity, undue influence and financial exploitation of vulnerable adults.

My eldest brother is going to be a fudiciary. He has a copy of my mom's original Will but has only shown us kids a copy that is from my mom and her 4th husband. What can I do about that?

Probate with will being contested

As our legal proceedings were already under way I was forced to retain a second attorney for the case. After contacting several attorneys I wasn't sure any of them would be right for this case. From the first conversation with Mr. Mason and meeting I knew he would be the one who could help us. He lis...tened intently to our needs and responded by telling us that is exactly what he does best is wills being contested. He explained what he and his staff were able to do for us and the means he had at his disposal to do so. I felt now I had a team of experts working for me to handle this case. I was able to contact him with any questions and concerns as they arose. He also was prompt at contacting me for any information he needed. I cannot explain the relief I felt after we had chosen him for our case. In my eyes Mr. Mason retains the highest integrity in his profession and did not lower his standards as I have seen some others do. I appreciated his professionalism and experience. We won our case thanks to him.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
