Do I have standing for a suit against my biological father’s Trust, if I’m his illegitimate daughter but there is proof of paternity in my mother’s sealed divorce decree?

I was told to contact his attorney upon his passing and did so 20 years ago. I was told by his attorney to “consider that done, thank you, goodbye”. I believe there to be millions of dollars in his estate and that I wronged by the attorney because he did not like my mother and the rumors of the attorney having affairs with my father’s wife.
