A guardianship dispute regarding Modern Family actress Ariel Winter was concluded Monday, May 5, the BBC reported.

Ariel Winter will continue to stay with her elder sister, Shanelle Gray, while her father, Glenn Workman, will continue to be in charge of her finances. The decision was reached after her mother decided to drop her objections to the guardianship dispute if her daughter could watch a video of family photos shortly before the start of the trial over the actress’s guardianship.

Since 2012, Shanelle Gray has held custody of her sister following accusations that the actress’s mother, Chrisoula Workman, physically and emotionally abused her.

I solicited Peck Ritchey, LLC for assistance with a living trust for which I became the beneficiary. I needed assistance with understanding the details of how it all worked. However, I was especially concerned because there were threats of allegations made by family members and a lawsuit was filed against me. I needed a solid professional who had my best interests in mind. Peter Brady took my case and he managed it flawlessly. He explained everything in a way I could understand, he knew the law inside and out, he was always available to answer questions, and even offer support when things seemed like they could become extremely problematic. In addition to this, he had a plan. He navigated the course as if he already knew the next move by the opposing attorney. He made me feel like everything was in control and that’s because he knew exactly what he was doing and he consulted with me about everything. We ended up settling out of court and ultimately the court officially dismissed the lawsuit. I honestly believe if it wasn’t for Peter and his expertise this could have gone in an entirely different direction. Peter did a stellar job and I couldn’t be more pleased and impressed with his performance.
