Attorney Ryan Flatley has joined the northern New England law firm Downs Rachlin Martin and will practice in the firm’s trust and estate group. DRM also announced the expansion of its on-site trust and estate group in Burlington, VT, with the transition of Alison Sherman to that office.
Flatley comes to DRM as of counsel after having worked as a trust and estate attorney at Thede Culpepper in Portland, OR. He has significant experience in developing and implementing complex estate plans, including revocable and irrevocable trusts; preparing and filing estate tax returns and federal gift tax returns; and representing clients during the estate and trust administration process. His practice includes business and real estate law as well.
While he will be based in DRM's New Hampshire office, Flatley will serve clients in the firm's other offices as well. He will work with Sherman, a senior trust and estate planning associate, to assist servicing clients in Burlington.

Wheeler Jr, Thomas C Csatari and Willemien Dingemans Miller, fellow and Vermont state chair of the American College of Trust and Estates Counsel, together with a team of five paralegals and staff.
