At Antonoplos & Associates, we understand the demands of having to select a good probate attorney when a loved one passes away.  We recognize that the passing of a close friend or loved one is a challenging time for you and we do our best to make probate administration as straight forward as possible. When it is time to probate an estate, it is critical to make sure you have hired a good probate attorney to represent you through the probate administration process.

Although District of Columbia probate administration takes at least six months to complete because of statutory requirements, delays caused by an inexperienced lawyer may add years to the process. Our firm has developed an outstanding reputation for fixing the costly mistakes of other firms that are not as experienced in probate administration process. Only an experienced probate attorney can cut out costly delays and errors that could lead to unnecessarily prolonging the probate period.
