After thirty months of hard-fought litigation, Adam Fried and Timothy Gallagher were pleased to obtain a defense verdict in favor of their client in an undue influence will contest case. Our client was accused by her twin sister of unduly influencing their mother to change her will. After four days of trial, the jury returned a 7-1 verdict in favor our client.
This was Reminger’s fifth consecutive successful will contest representation at trial in the last four years.
At Reminger, we have more than 100 combined years of experience guiding clients through Ohio's probate and estate administration systems.

If someone was left out a will or inherited a different amount than expected, emotions can quickly spiral out of control. Our experienced probate attorneys can work past the maze of complications in pursuit of securing your best interests.
