Amber Morton is Our Latest Featured Speaker!
Our Featured Speaker is Amber N. Morton of Holland & Knight LLP!
Thank you to Amber for speaking last Thursday during Part 1 of our Probate Litigation 101: The Nuts and Bolts program. Our attendees loved Amber, and they loved Part 1.
Amber covered capacity, walking through the standards that apply to trusts, wills, and conservatorships. She then co-taught undue influence with Kirsten A. Brown of Manning Kass, from the elements of the claim to what it takes to rebut the presumption.
Amber is a Los Angeles attorney in Holland & Knight’s Private Wealth Services Group and a member of the firm’s Trusts, Estates and Fiduciary Litigation Team. She is a seasoned litigator with substantial experience in both state and federal courts, and her practice focuses on complex trusts and estates litigation, including trust and will contests, contested conservatorships, breach of fiduciary duty matters, and financial elder abuse claims.
What makes her experience so relevant here is the breadth of it. Amber represents clients through every phase of a dispute, from pre-litigation advice aimed at resolving conflicts before anything is filed, through discovery, law and motion, trial preparation, and trial. She also handles settlement negotiations and mediation, always with an eye toward the best resolution for the client.
Thank you again, Amber! We were so pleased to have you on as a speaker, and we hope to have you back.
