Mauck & Brooke PLC is a law firm with an office in Richmond, VA. At this office location, there are 6 lawyers practicing business litigation, trusts & estates, land issues and 3 other areas of law.
Melissa Tannery is one of the best trust and estate litigators you will find. Consider yourself fortunate if she is advocating for you. She is thorough, sharp and she cared about my case from the first call to the final email. I was warehoused by a bank who was appointed against my wishes as my trustee. The bank’s behavior was lazy, condescending and did not represent my best interests. When I discovered a half million dollar bookkeeping error and a pattern of insufficient financial controls, Melissa coupled this with other fiduciary misbehavior to compel the bank to resign as trustee. Melissa got the matter corrected and reimbursement for my legal fees and over billing. Most importantly, she negotiated a non-judicial settlement agreement that eliminated a burdensome requirement of the trust. The agreement removed antagonistic control over the trust by two relatives who treated me as an adversary and caused years of financial under-performance, legal expenses and stress.

Mr. Mauck was competent, caring, responsive, reassuring and honest about my case. He walked me through all of the possible outcomes and allowed me to decide the best option. We settled our case and I got justice which is what I needed but he was fully prepared for court and so was I. I felt very confident that he would present my case thoroughly and with a clear understanding of the law. I have never sued anyone before and was nervous but he kept me grounded. Highly recommend him.

We are lawyers who help businesses and people solve their disputes. We are diverse in our practice areas, our interests, and our passions. Together we handle a wide range of issues for clients, big and small. We believe we offer a unique set of legal and personal skills. Our primary focus is solving disputes, for business and individuals. That work preferably begins well before the parties end up in court. Most disputes are resolved by agreement, sometimes with the help of a trained mediator. But if court is necessary, we have the experience from over a thousand collective cases to get the job done. At the end of the day, we are trial lawyers.
