About Amy
Biography
I am an estate planning attorney who focuses my practice on helping women protect their family and their future. I am dedicated to working with each of my clients to provide them a plan that is focused on how they want to protect and care for their family. Each client has a special and unique family, therefore, I treat each client with the unique and special attention they deserve to complete their estate plan.
My specific practice areas include wills, living wills, powers of attorney for finance, advance directives for healthcare, revocable living trusts, third party special needs trusts, probate planning and nomination of guardians and conservators.
I have given presentations to both attorneys and non-attorneys on each of these areas of law. Please reach out to Atlanta Wills + Trusts Law Group at to schedule a consultation with me to discuss how I can help you and your family.

Wonderful to work with!
The entire experience was excellent. Amy rushed putting together our Will so my husband and I could have peace of mind when we took our first big trip without the kids. She made what could be a difficult experience seem easy. All the staff at the practice was very friendly and professional.

Replied last August 31, 2022So grateful we were able to bring you both peace of mind for your big trip! As parents, each of us at Atlanta Wills + Trusts understands the concerns parents have when they leave their children for the first time (or any time!). Thank you for sharing your experience with our team.
