In this opening episode of a three-part series, we dive into the remarkable personal story of Uzzell S. Branson IV, Senior Attorney at RMO LLP @rmolawyers and a leading voice in trust and estate litigation.
From Revolutionary War roots to generations of Bransons settling in Arkansas, and ultimately to his upbringing in La Cañada, California, Uzzell reflects on the people, places, and pivotal experiences that shaped his values and vocation. This is more than a legal career—it’s a family legacy, carried forward with purpose.
Join us as we uncover the foundation of Uzzell’s journey, setting the stage for Episodes 2 and 3, where we explore how his personal story informs his approach to navigating complex estate and personal disputes and advocating for what’s right.
