Wills and Trusts • Estate Litigation • Probate Business Counsel and Litigation
Aitkens & Aitkens, P.C. was founded in December of 1991 by Robert G. Aitkens and Teresa T. Aitkens. Mr. Aitkens had conducted an estate litigation, estate and trust administration, and business practice since 1979, and Ms. Aitkens had conducted a personal injury, wrongful death, intentional tort and employment practice since 1985. Then as now, they have emphasized rendering top quality legal services in a friendly and honest environment. The law firm presently consists of four lawyers, Robert, Teresa (Terri), T. Michele Reddick (Michele), and T. Andrew Miller (Andy), as well as an efficient and careful staff.
Many of our new clients contact our firm after a death in their family or upon the breach of a fiduciary duty by an executor, administrator or trustee to honestly and effectively administer an estate or trust. Our firm represents wronged beneficiaries in both will contests and controversies arising out of the administration of trusts and estates. Issues of duress, undue influence, lack of capacity and mistake form the basis for many estate and trust related cases handled by our firm. We also handle both simple and complex probate and estate administration.
Our familiarity with estate administration and trust formation and administration on any scale also enables us to provide dependable representation to persons outside of Georgia who have an interest in a probate matter or trust administration case in Fulton County, Cobb County, Dekalb County, Gwinnett County, the other metro Atlanta counties or anywhere in the state of Georgia. We represent heirs, executors, administrators, trustees, and trust beneficiaries from all over the United States who need help with any aspect of Georgia probate or trust administration, including probate litigation.
In the business arena, we pursue and defend all kinds of business and contract cases, which often include shareholder disputes, contract breaches, fraud, misrepresentation and intentional business torts. Our firm is frequently involved in mediation, arbitration and litigation of all kinds of business disputes. We have a broad arbitration and trial practice in state and federal courts in Georgia and, on occasions, in our neighboring states. It is not uncommon for us to involve attorneys in other states in multi-state matters.
We have also developed a substantial disaster litigation practice that addresses the special needs and problems of disaster relief companies, factory operators, commercial building owners and specialty restoration and reprocessing contractors. The law firm specializes in providing legal counsel to business enterprises damaged by natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, windstorms or floods.
In our disaster recovery practice, we can guide businesses and repair or restoration contractors. We represent clients from contract negotiation through payment collection on projects involving downtown office towers, suburban corporate campuses, hospitals, and any other structure affected by water damage, wind damage, or flooding.
We will show you how to structure your agreements to maximize the likelihood of full compensation under any insurance or disaster relief program. If a dispute develops as to any party's performance under its contract or the duty of any insurer to cover the cost of recovery, we can help resolve the disagreement in or out or court. We advise and represent disaster recovery business clients from the Mid-Atlantic states across the South to the Texas Gulf Coast.
Our firm has experience and success in handling claims for wrongful death, personal injury, premises and security related liability, and intentional and negligent torts. Generally, we represent the surviving family members in wrongful death cases and the injured parties in personal injury, premises liability and serious tort cases.
We have an ongoing business relationship and represent numerous business entities in the greater Atlanta area. We have represented numerous executors, administrators, trustees, beneficiaries and claimants who both appreciate and are satisfied with our firm’s legal services. We would appreciate the opportunity to consult with you regarding your legal needs. We invite you to contact us.
Our goal is to diligently and effectively represent our clients at a reasonable price. Lawyers in our firm render their services on an hourly basis and emphasize value to the client. Our firm also sometimes accepts contingency fee cases where our firm receives a percentage of the recovery sought for the client.
