MARGARET (MEG) LODISE
Partner
Sacks, Glazier, Franklin & Lodise LLP
Margaret (Meg) Lodise has established an impressive reputation in her thirtyplus-year career for handling some of the most complex and high-dollar trusts and estates disputes through trial and appeal. Among her high-profile representations, Lodise was appointed by the Probate Court as Guardian Ad Litem for the minor children of Michael Jackson, a responsibility she carried out soon after Jackson’s death in 2009 and concluded in February 2020. Lodise advocated for the best interests of the performer’s two sons and daughter due to disputes over Jackson’s affairs.
Lodise’s work stands out in the legal marketplace, not just for her successes on behalf of clients, but also for the ways in which she’s helping to shape the future of trusts and estates law. For example, Lodise obtained a precedent-setting decision after successfully defending an appeal brought to challenge the exercise of a power of appointment to benefit her client.
