Thomas Repczynski is a principal and shareholder focused on developing and expanding the firm’s Estates and Trusts Litigation Practice area. Tom’s clients are a broad array of individuals, non-profit boards and associations, business owner and both foreign and domestic corporations.  Founded upon many years of landlord representation and decades of bankruptcy work, Tom’s practice prioritizes general commercial business disputes, commercial real estate and creditors’ rights enforcement litigation while emphasizing inheritance-related matters including trial court, probate and commissioner proceedings, and appeals (throughout Virginia, Maryland and D.C.) involving will, trust, and insurance beneficiaries, estate personal representatives (executors and administrators), trustees, guardians, and attorneys-in-fact under powers of attorney. Tom’s typical fiduciary cases involve undue influence, breach of fiduciary duty, incapacity and will dispute claims.

As a pragmatic, cost-conscious and resolution-oriented legal advisor and advocate, Tom’s substantial litigation and dispute resolution experience spans state and federal courts (bankruptcy, district and appellate), as well as mediation, arbitration and administrative proceedings and reflects a broad range of general business contract and tort, inheritance-related and lending/bankruptcy issues.  Tom also routinely advises, co-counsel’s or consults with divorce, family law counsel and their clients regarding a full range of inheritance, life insurance and bankruptcy-related issues arising before, during and after divorce proceedings.
