About Wrightsel & Wrightsel
Wrightsel & Wrightsel was formed in 2001 when Doug Wrightsel, after nearly 40 years of large firm experience, teamed up with one of his sons, Brad Wrightsel, to focus their practice in a small family setting. Their distinct backgrounds in similar areas of practice results in a very compatible combination. Their collective legal experience spans nearly 60 years.
DOUG WRIGHTSEL’s experience includes will contests, actions construing and challenging validity of trusts, taking action to validate and qualify charitable remainder trusts through use of disclaimers and construction actions, representing fiduciaries and beneficiaries (charitable and individual) in tortious interference actions, and related types of litigation related to the rights of charitable and individual estate and trust beneficiaries. Doug has frequently served as an expert witness in probate/trust and attorney malpractice matters.
BRAD WRIGHTSEL’s legal experience commenced as a magistrate with the Franklin County Probate Court, where he heard matters including adoptions, estate administration and guardianships. Upon leaving the court for private practice in 1995, Brad’s professional experience in probate law naturally progressed to include estate planning. Brad is certified as a specialist in Estate Planning, Trust and Probate Law by the Ohio State Bar Association.
WRIGHTSEL & WRIGHTSEL is located near the banks of the Scioto river on Riverside Drive in Upper Arlington. The office location places the firm in close proximity to Clintonville, Dublin, Grandview, Hilliard and Worthington, yet still near downtown Columbus. The result is a comfortable office setting that is easy to access with abundant parking.
