A Century of Distinguished Estate Planning and Tax Excellence
For one hundred years, Therrel Baisden LLP has stood as a pillar of legal sophistication in Florida. Tracing its foundational roots to the Miami Beach law firms of Copeland, Therrel and Baisden established in 1925 and Lipton and Meyer founded in 1927, the firm merged in 1985 to establish its current partnership. Its early principals included Baron De Hirsch Meyer, a visionary instrumental in creating the University of Miami School of Law and Mount Sinai Hospital. Operating from One Downtown in the heart of Miami, Therrel Baisden LLP represents multiple generations of prominent domestic and international families, high-net-worth investors, and corporate leaders who demand elite wealth preservation and fiduciary advocacy.

Probate Administration and Fiduciary Litigation
