Review for Amie Gartenberg

Amie has been more than helpful in assisting me in executing the will and managing the Estate of my late aunt. She has been very knowledgeable in managing the sale of her home while dealing with creditors. Amie has been been able put the big picture together to help advise me in which direction I nee...d to go. Amie has been very pleasant, kind, and compassionate during this entire process. When we meet, she always takes the time to make sure she is able to address any concerns. Additionally, she is very responsive via email and phone calls. I would recommend her to anyone looking into trusts, estate planning, and execution of an Estate.

I Recommend Amie Gartenberg

I recently hired Amie Gartenberg for estate planning after she was recommended to me by a close friend. After being widowed in the past year I was a bit anxious and not very knowledgeable about what was involved other than a new will. It turns out a lot more and Ms Gartenberg was extremely patient ...and understanding in guiding me through it all. I was totally comfortable from the introduction on, never felt rushed and every question I had was thoroughly covered. I made three visits to the office, always received a friendly greeting and was seen promptly. My completed documents were presented in their own handsome storage box along with all the specific guidelines needed to finalize the estate plan. It was a pleasure to work with Amie Gartenberg and I would recommend her without hesitation.

Wonderful experience working with Atty. Gartenberg

Amie Gartenberg worked with my parents and my family during a difficult time for us, as my father was ill. She prepared trust and estate documents quickly, explained everything thoroughly, and was so warm and caring during the whole process. She is now continuing to serve as my mother's family lawyer..., and we feel very secure and supported by her experienced legal advice and legal action on our behalf. We are very fortunate to have engaged Atty. Gartenberg.
