Trust and estate litigator representing fiduciaries and beneficiaries in complex trust, probate, and inheritance disputes.
Practice Focus
Bridgette focuses her practice on trust and estate litigation, representing trustees, beneficiaries, and family members caught in disputes over inheritances, trust administration, and estate assets. She works with clients who are often navigating some of the most stressful situations of their lives, conflicts that are equal parts legal and personal, and she brings both sharp litigation instincts and genuine care to every matter.
Her cases frequently involve breaches of fiduciary duty, disputes over how assets are being managed or distributed, questions of capacity or undue influence, and other issues that arise when family dynamics and significant money collide. Bridgette works closely with clients to build clear, practical strategies around their goals, whether that means negotiating a resolution or taking the fight to court.
She has developed real courtroom experience, including conducting evidentiary hearings and playing a central role in second-chairing high-stakes trust and inheritance trials. She manages discovery, prepares witnesses, and helps develop and execute trial strategy from the ground up, experience that allows her to anticipate what’s coming and keep clients prepared at every stage.
Clients know Bridgette for her responsiveness, her attention to detail, and her ability to cut through complexity and give them a straight answer. She is a steady, focused advocate who stays oriented toward practical outcomes even when disputes get difficult.
