MAde the process easy

I was researching the benefits of setting up a living trust and Family Legal Partners, P.C. was recommended to me through a service I had at work. I could not have been happier with the entire process. Setting up my first appointment was done very quickly. Amy was so easy to work with. I met with ...Amy and she was able to explain the benefits of a trust in a very clear way that answered all my questions and certainly made what seemed like a cumbersome process very easy. Amy asked relevant questions of me so she was clear on what my goals were and directed me appropriately to ensure my entire estate plan was taken care of. (Trust, Healthcare proxys, will etc). Each meeting was beneficial and I was provided with clear documentation on what steps I would need to follow up on as well. Once all the paperwork was reviewed, signed and completed I was provided with a binder that had all the documents as well as a CD containing an electronic copy of all the documents. I would definitely recommend Amy Antonellis for any estate planning needs.

A pleasure to work with.

Working with Amy Antonellis was a pleasure. She assisted my husband and I in setting up our will (a well needed update!), POA, health care proxy and HIPAA forms. She provided us with wonderful advice, options, and pros/cons of various options. She then walked us through every step, culminating in a w...onderfully organized binder containing all the info we would need. We extremely grateful to have accomplished this important work in such an organized, thorough, and painless way. We highly recommend Amy.

Estate plan finally created!

Creating an estate plan had been on our to-do list for years before we were referred to Amy. She made an intimidating process very accessible and clearly explained all procedures, documents, and terms. She is knowledgeable in all aspects of estate planning and was very reassuring as she answered our ...many questions. It gives us great peace of mind to finally have a plan in place and to know that we can consult Amy as our circumstances change over the years.

Excellent. The entire process was made easy by Amy

I My Wife and I recently retired and needed help with Estate Planning. Amy walked us through the process and provided much need help and guidance. We constructed a Living Trust including new Wills, Medical Docs, etc. The process was very quick. If a question arises Amy is available to help. I highly... recommend Amy if you want to develop Estate Planning.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
