Protecting the person.
Preserving the family.
Safeguarding the legacy.
In the darkest of times, hope is possible.
When the stakes are high, ordinary solutions are not enough.
Legacy Family Advisors provides discreet, high-touch mental health, addiction, and crisis support for individuals and families navigating the most complex and consequential moments of their lives.
Quite often, conventional solutions fail. We go further—pursuing the expertise, resources, and possibilities that others may not have access to.
Our work is highly personalized, deeply confidential, and designed for clients who require an exceptional level of care, access, and discretion. We operate across the U.S. and internationally, assembling bespoke resources and specialized expertise to address challenges that demand more than conventional treatment or traditional support.
We partner with individuals, families, family offices, wealth advisors, attorneys, trustees, fiduciaries, agents and specialty case managers to anticipate risk, intervene early, and navigate crises with precision.
From discreet intervention and complex mental health and addiction challenges to recovery support, transition planning, and ongoing care, Legacy Family Advisors provides a trusted, concierge-level solution for the moments when everything is on the line.
For the impossible. Before it becomes irreversible.
Serious Expertise for the Seemingly Impossible.
Donna Boswell founded Legacy Family Advisors with a singular mission: to approach high-risk, complex challenges with urgency, discretion, and dignity—drawing on decades of experience and an unparalleled depth of expertise.
We have seen—and successfully navigated—some of the most complex challenges a person or family can face, with a track record of meaningful outcomes to show for it. Few situations are beyond our reach, and when the conventional path falls short, we find another way forward.
The Most Complex Challenges. The Highest Level of Care.
LEGAL FORENSICS
When the facts are complicated, the stakes are high, and the truth matters, we bring the resources, perspective, and strategic insight required to uncover what others may miss.
-
Intensive review and analysis of complex legal matters to uncover critical facts, identify gaps, and bring clarity to situations where the truth may be difficult to establish.
-
Strategic support in complex divorce, custody, domestic violence, child abuse, substance use, and other high-conflict family proceedings.
-
Assemble and coordinate highly specialized teams of forensic experts, clinicians, investigators, medical professionals, and legal specialists to address the full complexity of a case.
-
Identify, evaluate, and coordinate the specialized resources needed to strengthen a case, uncover overlooked information, and ensure critical details are thoroughly examined.
-
Comprehensive preparation designed to help witnesses and experts present information with clarity, credibility, and composure under intense scrutiny.
-
Provide strategic guidance and coordinated support from initial case assessment through litigation, trial, and post-hearing follow-through.
-
Experience supporting highly sensitive and complex forensic matters across jurisdictions, including cases involving allegations of child abuse, medical child abuse, human trafficking, domestic violence, sexual assault, substance abuse, false allegations, child torture, online scams, kidnap/ransom, stalking and criminal investigations.
ADDICTION RECOVERY
We address the full spectrum of addiction and substance use, including the most complex, treatment-resistant, and high-profile cases. Every engagement is tailored to the individual, the family, and the circumstances surrounding the addiction.
-
We address alcohol, prescription medications, opioids and fentanyl, benzodiazepines, stimulants, cocaine, heroin, cannabis, polysubstance use, and other forms of substance dependency—from early-stage concerns to severe and long-standing addiction.
-
We work with individuals who have experienced repeated treatment episodes, relapse, unsuccessful attempts at recovery, or complex co-occurring mental health and trauma issues. When conventional approaches have failed, we look deeper to understand what has been missed and identify a new path forward.
-
We provide exceptionally discreet support for celebrities, entertainers, executives, professional athletes, and other high-profile individuals whose addiction or substance use intersects with public exposure, demanding careers, professional obligations, and reputational risk. Our approach prioritizes privacy, speed, mobility, and absolute discretion.
-
Addiction affects everyone around the individual. We work with families to navigate crisis, intervention, boundaries, communication, enabling behaviors, treatment decisions, and the difficult process of rebuilding trust—while helping families move from chaos and fear toward clarity and action.
-
We look beyond the addiction itself to address the factors that may be fueling it, including trauma, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, family dynamics, and other mental health challenges. Our goal is to treat the whole person rather than simply the substance.
-
We support families confronting substance use and high-risk behaviors in adolescents and young adults, intervening early when possible and developing individualized strategies for stabilization, treatment, accountability, and long-term independence.
-
When traditional treatment has been exhausted or a different approach may be warranted, we explore carefully vetted alternatives and emerging modalities. Depending on the individual and circumstances, this may include innovative trauma approaches, integrative or regenerative medicine, psychedelic-assisted therapies and ibogaine, —always with careful attention to medical screening, professional oversight, safety, legality, and comprehensive aftercare. Learn more about this in Aires.
-
Treatment is only the beginning. We develop highly individualized aftercare and reintegration plans designed to support a successful return to family, work, community, and daily life. This may include ongoing clinical care, sober support, recovery coaching, accountability structures, wellness and lifestyle planning, family support, and continued coordination with a carefully selected team—providing the structure and continuity needed to sustain progress long after formal treatment ends.
COMPLEX FAMILY MANAGEMENT
Families of power navigate complicated issues. When fractures become too complex for any one person or professional to manage, we bring together the right expertise, perspective, and strategy to restore stability, repair relationships, and move the family forward.
-
We understand the unique complexities that can arise within affluent and multigenerational families, including entitlement, financial dependency, succession, inheritance, control, and the pressures that wealth can place on relationships.
-
We navigate deeply entrenched family conflict, fractured relationships, estrangement, communication breakdowns, and longstanding patterns that threaten the stability and wellbeing of the family.
-
We help families navigate difficult situations involving adult children, including addiction, mental health challenges, financial dependency, destructive behaviors, estrangement, and repeated family crises.
-
When conflict escalates into an acute crisis, we step in quickly to assess the situation, coordinate the appropriate professionals, and create a plan to stabilize the family and prevent further escalation.
-
We bring structure and clarity to complicated family dynamics, helping individuals and family members communicate more effectively, establish boundaries, and move toward resolution when relationships have become deeply fractured.
-
When family conflict intersects with litigation, allegations, custody disputes, or other legal concerns, we coordinate with attorneys, forensic professionals, clinicians, investigators, and other specialists to ensure the broader family system is understood and appropriately addressed.
-
Our work extends beyond resolving the immediate crisis. We help families establish healthier patterns, clearer boundaries, stronger communication, and sustainable systems designed to reduce recurring conflict and protect relationships over time.
-
Rapid, coordinated support to help clients navigate critical incidents, mitigate risk, and restore stability.
-
Comprehensive evaluations of residences, estates, travel, and daily routines to identify vulnerabilities and strengthen protective measures.
