Top-Notch Attorney and Firm

Amy was recommended to us by an attorney alternative that is located in the same building as my employer. Our first meeting with Amy was informative and we knew she was who we needed to represent the trust matter we had faced, and we were right. Our case, from what I understand was not the norm and had several roadblocks that Amy and Ericka were able to steer us around and get to the result we needed.

They are quick to respond to any questions we had and always gave us the correct information we needed to move forward with our case. I highly recommend this firm for any Probate/Trust matters you may have. You will not be sorry….my only regret is I didn’t get to see these ladies in action in a courtroom. Thank you again Amy, Ericka and staff for the exceptional work you do and keeping us moving forward and grounded through this difficult time.

Excellent Attorney

I highly recommend Amy. She has helped my family on three different occasions. She set up a trust for my wife and me, including related documents (e.g. wills, powers of attorney, advance directives, etc.). She also drafted a trust amendment for my mother and helped me with the trust administration after my mother passed away. Finally, she drafted a special needs trust for my niece. Throughout it all, Amy has been knowledgeable, exceptionally competent and patient with my family. I couldn’t ask for anything more from an attorney.

Amy Gostanian

We have worked with Amy since 2008 on trust related issues – from the initial establishment of the trust through modifications needed as circumstances changed. We have always felt that any suggestions made/implemented were in our best interests and have never felt the need to second guess Amy. She knows her stuff and is able to explain the legalese so that a layman can understand it. She has always been available to answer questions. We feel that she is interested in us as people, not just clients – that’s important. We will continue to use her services.

Top-Notch Lawyer

Amy Gostanian successfully represented my family’s interests through a contentious estate lawsuit; one, which other attorneys said, would be very difficult to win and had actually discouraged us from pursuing.

Amy, however, took the time to hear our story, and although she understood the challenges we faced, she assured us it was a battle worth taking. Amy’s encouragement, and her desire to take our case, provided us with the courage we needed to stand up and fight for what was right.

From the very beginning, Amy let us know that we would be working as a team, and that is exactly what transpired. She clearly outlined the steps we needed to take, enlisted our involvement in the process, and kept the lines of communication open through meetings, phone calls and emails. Her exceptional staff and associates also provided outstanding support throughout the process.

Our experience with Amy revealed that she is a confident, experienced litigator who is highly qualified in estate law. She knows all the angles; is fierce when needed, remains cool under pressure, and knows how to provide support to her clients when they need it. We found Amy to be professional, honest, fair and ethical. Over the course of time that she worked on our case, it also became evident that both attorneys, as well as judges, respect her.

I simply cannot recommend Amy Gostanian highly enough. Her superb qualities and skills brought an arduous, and seemingly hopeless, situation to an equitable resolution. She is the epitome of what attorneys should be.

Highly Recommend

Amy is an awesome lawyer. She helped my family through an incredibly stressful probate process. From the first conversation, she has been candid in all her communication with us. We had no idea what the probate process was going to entail or what exactly was going to happen, and Amy explained the entire process in plain English and was able to put our fears to rest. She has shown time and time again through all the road blocks we encountered that she really knows her stuff. She has extensive knowledge of the local court system, which she uses to her (and ultimately our) advantage. To top it off, she has been attentive and considerate of our unique situation, going above and beyond her typical lawyer’s duties to show my family special consideration. She has been our resource for a variety of questions, some not even related to our probate process. We know we can trust her opinion and expertise. Amy’s office staff also deserves recognition. They have been awesome at each and every step of the process. Overall, I would highly recommend Amy and her office for their services.

Expert Probate Litigation

Quite simply, Amy and her team are fantastic. I was the administrator of my Mom’s estate, which experienced a fraudulent claim. Amy came highly recommended by several local lawyers as an outstanding estate litigator. In working with her, I found that Amy was consistently calm, patient, and always gave expert advice. She successfully guided me through the heartache of extended probate litigation and with the constant frustrations of delays in the legal system. She has a wonderful balance of knowledge, wit, and compassion, in addition to being a top-notch litigator. In particular, she is a great listener and is very adept at focusing your conversation on critical legal points. I found her very easy to work with and always felt that she was keeping my best interests at the forefront. In addition, the rest of her team is just as sharp and professional as Amy — you’re getting a dynamite office! After successfully thwarting a series of outlandish legal maneuvers by the plaintiff, Amy engineered a settlement that was both extremely favorable for me and represented the correct intentions of my Mom’s estate documents. If you need expert counsel on probate litigation, I highly recommend her services without reservation.
