It’s one of our favorite days of the year – Love Litigating Lawyers Day! This is a celebration of legal advocacy. If your assets or legal rights are at risk, attorneys are trusted allies who can advocate on your behalf and ensure that justice is always within reach.

Every year on August 31st, the American Bar Association honors those attorneys advocating for your interests in the courtroom. Love Litigating Lawyers Day is an opportunity to appreciate the honest, hard-working attorneys who seek your security in a tumultuous world.

Passed by the American Bar Association Practice Council in 2015, it’s a day for recognizing the efforts of this group of men and women who protect the public good and administration of justice. For more than 20 years, our team of seasoned litigators has worked on behalf of clients to deliver optimal outcomes and responsive client service.

Carmel & Naccasha Attorney Brooks J. Hollister won three separate trials recently for a client seeking assistance in obtaining Elder Abuse Restraining Orders. The client, a family member of the victim and acting under a Durable Power of Attorney, felt the victim was being financially taken advantage of by other members of the family, and contacted Carmel & Naccasha for legal assistance. Hollister filed three separate requests for Elder Abuse Restraining Orders, which, after trial, resulted in each being granted for a period of three years. The court further requested Hollister file a petition for fees against the Defendants.

Mr. Hollister, who focuses his practice on estate planning, probate, estate and trust litigation, conservatorships and business transactions, was supported throughout the trial by a team of paralegals, legal assistants and file room staff.
