Q: Hi, I’m looking for an attorney who might help me sue my older brother for breach of fiduciary duty.
He took every penny of my inheritance by charging me rent for staying in our mothers house. My brother asked me to stay rent free until probate ended, this was in front of our 2 other brothers and one brother filed an objection with probate court stating this as well so I have testimony from myself and one brother, I haven’t been able to get a hold of my other brother for his input.

A:
It's important for you to seek legal advice from an attorney who can assess the details of your case regarding the alleged breach of fiduciary duty by your brother. You may want to contact your local bar association for a referral to a lawyer who handles probate and estate disputes. It's beneficial to have all the relevant documentation and any witness statements or testimonies available when you consult with an attorney.
Keep in mind that time can be of the essence in these matters due to potential statute of limitations issues, so prompt action is advised.
