A third source said, "They are very collaborative and always work to include third parties. This is a real benefit to the client as they benefit from all their advisers acting with one voice."

Aghdami has more than 20 years of experience assisting clients with wealth transfer tax planning, business succession planning, income tax planning for individuals and businesses and fiduciary litigation. One source for the guide called him “one of the best trust and estate lawyers in the Mid-Atlantic” region, while another referred to him as their “key go-to adviser for all private wealth and generational succession matters."
