Linda Anne Amato

My husband and I were looking for an estate lawyer to set up a family trust and feel very fortunate to have found Linda Amato. We have a complicated family situation which includes 2nd marriages with children from our first and current relationships. In addition we have a child with special needs. ... We found Linda to be intelligent and very knowledgeable as well as personable and compassionate. She had an understanding of our situation including issues that we did not foresee. Linda provided us with extra time needed without an additional cost to create a family trust that fit our needs. We highly recommend her!

My wife and I were looking for guidance with our estate planning and we had such a terrific experience with Linda Amato and her firm. Linda was able to talk us through the intricacies of our situation and made us think about issues that had not been on our radars - but ought to have been. Her calm ma...nner (and patience!) was very reassuring. Finally, the end product was really comprehensive and she guided us through the process effortlessly, with great follow-up when we dealt with other vendors (such as banks and real-estate lawyers). We recommend Linda highly.

I hired Linda to help me with my estate planning, including transferring all of my assets into a revocable trust, establishing power of attorney, healthcare proxy, and other related matters. I had put off handling these things because although I'm young and healthy, I was uncomfortable thinking about... and dealing with such potential end-of-life issues and scenarios. And as a single woman with no children, I found contemplating these issues even more difficult. It's sobering to face end-of-life "what ifs" when you're alone. Linda is not only an expert in these legal matters, she's also a very caring advocate--especially for single women. I truly appreciated the time she took to explain the pros and cons of all the options available to me and that she did so in a very personal and supportive way. I highly recommend Linda as an estate planning attorney.

In these troubled times that we live in, it was very reassuring to have worked with Ms. Amato in establishing an estate plan that would be relevant, accurate and all inclusive to protect me and my 2 sons. I met Ms. Amato at a workshop she gave at the Riverdale Y some time ago and was amazed at all ...the things that were of the utmost importance in creating an estate plan, in my case, a revocable plan. She spoke of wills, health care issues, revocable vs. irrevocable trusts, etc. It was overwhelmed to say the least! Ms. Amato was very knowledgeable, well prepared, addressed all questions ensuring her responses were understood by her audience. I took her up on her offer of a free consultation and was allowed to bring my friend Susan as an extra set of ears. Having been widowed and dealing with my husband's business affairs, I was not thinking of my future or the future of my sons. Ms. Amato put it all in perspective and very patiently explained things and presented various options. I asked her for her professional opinion and found that it was certainly the way to go. It took some time for me to gather the necessary information but we finally got the job done! Her staff in the Bronx office was very helpful as well. Although my documents have been "signed, sealed and delivered", Ms. Amato will still take my calls and respond to any questions that might come up. She is truly a professional who enjoys what she does and does not look at the clock to rush you out. She is trustworthy and will keep you informed on the progress she is making with your plan. I highly recommend meeting with Ms. Amato and see how she can put your mind at ease!

My experience with Linda Amato has been nothing less than excellent. From my first contact with her she has been professional, courteous and reliable. I rest well at nights knowing my estate plans have been properly executed. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone wishing to set their estat...e in order.
