We focus on your case.

BaskinFleece is a trusts and estates law firm centrally located in mid-Pinellas County, just minutes from the courthouses in St. Petersburg, Clearwater and Tampa. The firm’s geographic practice however, encompasses all of the west coast of Florida and if necessary anywhere in the United States.

The firm primarily deals with controversies involving estates, trusts, wills and guardianships. Issues dealing with the validity of wills and trusts, breach of fiduciary duty, lack of capacity, spousal rights, creditors’ rights and anything related to wills, trusts and guardianships are routinely dealt with. The vast experience in dealing with and resolving these specific issues has given the firm a wealth of knowledge – which other less involved firms may not have. It is that knowledge base that sets BaskinFleece apart from the other firms and attorneys practicing in trust and probate litigation and related areas of law.

BaskinFleece handles Trust litigation, Probate litigation, and Guardianship litigation cases from the pre-suit stages - including mediation - all the way through trial, both jury and non-jury, and at the appellate level, if necessary. In addition, the firm assists clients with Estate Planning from the drafting of a simple will to complex tax planning and wealth transfer matters for high-asset estates. BaskinFleece handles all aspects of Probate and Trust Administration as well, accomplishing the process capably, competently, and in a timely fashion for the benefit of heirs, beneficiaries and all parties involved.

In all matters, the client is and remains the firm's main focus. Aspects of litigation such as cost, emotional impact and timeliness are all important to the client, and the firm strives for an end result which leaves the client feeling that justice was accomplished in an efficient and effective manner.
