About Michael
Michael Dingerdissen has built a steady legal career since earning his law degree. He entered Villanova University School of Law and received his J.D. in 2013. The classroom years shaped his legal reasoning and introduced him to the procedural tools he would use at the bar.
After law school he moved into practice in Delaware. Over the years he has handled matters that touch on the transfer of wealth, the administration of estates and the legal needs that arise when families plan for the future. Colleagues describe him as meticulous in document review and careful in client meetings. He takes a precise approach to drafting trusts, wills and related instruments, and he spends time explaining options so clients understand tradeoffs.
Dingerdissen is an attorney at Morris James LLP. At the firm he works alongside lawyers who cover a range of corporate and personal legal matters. His work there has included preparing estate plans, advising on probate procedures and helping families manage estate administration. He often coordinates with accountants and other advisers when tax or financial issues affect estate decisions.
He maintains professional ties to the Philadelphia estate planning community. He is a member of the Philadelphia Estate Planning Council, where he attends meetings and continues to follow developments in fiduciary law and estate taxation. That membership puts him in regular contact with other practitioners, judges and financial professionals who address the practical challenges of estate administration in the region.
Clients who turn to Dingerdissen typically seek clear guidance through what can be a technical and emotional process. He prefers a straightforward exchange: explain the options, identify likely outcomes, and prepare the documents that match a client’s goals. He also handles the procedural side of probate filings and administrative tasks that accompany estate settlements. Outside of client work he remains engaged in continuing legal education to keep current on statutory changes and court decisions relevant to estates and trusts.
He is admitted to practice in Delaware and is based at Morris James LLP. He focuses his current practice on estate planning, probate and trust administration matters.
