Relationships First, Strategy Second

Erin K. Mendez is a Shareholder at Conlin, McKenney & Philbrick, P.C., where she specializes in estate planning, trust administration, and probate. She has practiced in these areas for thirty years. Erin believes that building relationships and understanding her clients is the key to providing great legal service. She is sensitive to the personal nature of estate planning and is committed to addressing the concerns of each client by building innovative, personalized strategies to advance each client’s unique needs and desire to protect financial legacies.

That philosophy produces results that are both personal and technically precise. Erin distills sophisticated legal concepts into clear, actionable steps with defined timelines and milestones, so clients always know where they stand. Her experience administering complex probate estates and trusts gives her a practical perspective that shapes how she drafts plans in the first place: she has seen what works during administration, what creates conflict, and what protects families when the unexpected happens.

Tax Law at the Center of Every Plan
