Strickler Catlin LLC

The attorneys, specifically Jessica Catlin and Jonathan Leinheardt, with supportive staff at Strickler Catlin LLC, are tremendously talented. The synergy of the above-referenced attorneys to produce legal masterpieces with each and every filing is awe-inspiring. I've been most impressed with both attorneys ability to listen and truly understand my position, what is important to me, and their expansive, technical, legal acumen. Jessica Catlin has an innate ability to act with impeccable timing with polished-perfect style, solid legal backing, and a pleasant demeanor. Jonathan Leinheardt is extremely knowledgeable and knows the law inside and out and works at an astonishing pace. These two professionals complement one another in such an incredible way. I am honored to have them both for my complicated case. Through each aspect of my case, I received quality guidance, honest and timely communication, and the feeling of being in competent hands by advocates who really care about my concerns. Ultimately, these attorneys are the BEST at what they do...and they are also amazing human beings operating from a strong, moral compass acting with rock-solid ethics. I highly recommend them for your legal needs.

Long story short, it took Jessica Catlin a little over eight weeks to accomplish what a large firm with a full complement of lawyers, paralegals, and support staff could not do in two years. You can probably guess the difference in legal fees. If you have a trust issue (the legal entity kind, not the kind that calls for psychiatrist), go here.

Jessica Catlin and her colleagues insisted that we appeal our probate case. At the appeal she: . Failed to give the judges her registration number . Only argued one of the five points that we were appealing . Ran out of time in court (she sat herself down after 15 minutes--she should have kept going until the judges told her that her time was up). . Tried to argue a point that was not in the original court proceedings. From the judges written opinion: "While the Interested Persons switch gears and argue in their reply brief that "Mark failed to meet his burden" to rebut the presumption, that's different from their original argument that the court committed legal error. We don't consider this argument raised for the first time in the reply brief." So, the judges ruled against us on all five points.

Mark Biddison is an amazing and very well experienced attorney that is very knowledgeable and friendly. His life and work experience(s) has granted him a mass of useful experience with judicial system and its politics.
