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. Lodise also serves as an expert witness, is an adjunct professor at Loyola Law School and is actively involved in the trusts and estates community.
