my experience with Amato Law

I originally met with Amato Law to update my will. In consultation with Linda Amato, we reconsidered and defined those legal documents tailored to best serve me in my lifetime, and, also ultimately, would ease the responsibilities of those, who would inherent my estate. Linda and her team efficient...ly created for me a Revocable Living Trust, Pour-Over Will, Certificate of Trust, Durable of Power of Attorney, Gift Rider, as well as all Health Care Documents. Whatever questions I had during the preparation of those documents were answered promptly and thoroughly. I sleep better knowing that I have been able to tackle those end-of-life concerns, addressed in these all-important legal documents, through the expertise and prompt follow-through of the highly professional, responsive services of Amato Law.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
