Los Angeles Estate Litigation Attorney

As Estate Litigation Lawyers in Los Angeles, the Boesch Law Group has a proven track record of success in the handling of these types of cases, including the landmark case involving Anna Nicole Smith and the judgment which awarded her $475 million dollars.

The Boesch Law Group has won for plaintiffs and defendants numerous judgments and settlements in all areas of Estate Litigation, including "The Number One Judgment in the United States." - US Lawyers Weekly


"Former Playboy model wins $475 million in battle over dead husband’s fortune…the Anna Nicole Smith verdict was a landmark victory against seemingly overwhelming odds for Los Angeles attorney Philip W. Boesch." - US Lawyers Weekly


"J. Howard Marshall was mourning the loss of his second wife and his mistress when his driver arranged for him to meet Smith, a young single mother who was working the lunch shift at a Houston topless joint. 'Don’t go love-falling,' the chauffeur advised. But Marshall was smitten, said attorney Philip W. Boesch, Jr., and he gained a new lease on life. ' He loved this woman to the point that he wanted to adopt and marry her at the same time,' the lawyer said." - Los Angeles Times


”With a paucity of direct evidence….Boesch decided to present to the court a steady accretion of circumstantial evidence – hundreds of peripheral documents and hours of testimony that would gradually erode [the other side’s] initial advantage.”
