Trustworthy & Experienced Estate Attorney

My wife and I are both 74 years old, and we felt it was time to set up the proper estate planning accurately describe our final wishes and also avoid paying any unnecessary taxes when our assets are passed on to our beneficiaries or heirs. The Law Offices of Frye, Fortich and Garcia handled all of t...hese matters for us. We had the good fortune to get the proper legal advice and documentation from Austin Frye and Lauren Garcia. They took all the time we needed to clearly our goals as a couple and individually. Not once did we feel that any question we had was too basic and unimportant. The entire experience was very professional and quite comfortable given the subject matter. We even had some good laughs along the way. On top of all this, we felt the fees charged were more than reasonable and fair. We recommend wholeheartedly to anyone who needs this type of legal expertise to consider using this law firm.

Estate

I’m Lou and my father passed away and left me his estate that had a 50 percent share of the property he owned with his girlfriend for 30 years. I was lost and Gus and Austin was my father’s attorney’s that I also inherited. I dealt mostly with Gus , who is a true professional and is always pro...mpt returning calls and emails. Gus also helped with me purchasing an additional percentage of the property. I’d recommend Gus , Laura and Austin to anyone looking for attorneys that will always have your best interest. Thanks Lou

Very positive experience

My experience with Frye, Fortich & Garcia has been a very positive experience. My husband and I did our trusts, but unfortunately, he passed away before we were able to implement changes. Ms. Garcia outlined everything that needed to be done for the estate. She guided me in the necessary paperwork ...and completed all the necessary court papers. In the process, Ms. Garcia also caught a big mistake the courts made by appointing the wrong executor. This was promptly corrected. I was advised of all the steps taken throughout these proceedings and told of all papers needed. If I did not have them, I was always provided with help. My questions were promptly and kindly answered. My experience has been very positive all the way through. Everyone in the office is courteous and prompt.

Best of class service.

As a serial entrepreneur, I've engaged various legal teams, but Gus Fortich at Frye, Fortich & Garcia, P.L. in Miami, FL, has provided an outstanding experience. Gus's expertise in structuring and securing businesses, especially in crafting partnership structures, is exceptional. His personalized app...roach ensured my ventures were well-protected and strategically positioned for growth. The client service at Frye, Fortich & Garcia is top-notch. Gus and his team were always responsive, offering concise and effective advice. They excelled not only in business law but also in family planning services, ensuring that my personal and professional interests were aligned and secured. I highly recommend Gus Fortich and his team for their comprehensive legal support, including partnership and family planning services. Their professionalism and tailored solutions make them an invaluable asset for any business owner.

Outstanding !

I would highly recommend the law firm of Frye, Fortich, and Garcia, PL. I first became acquainted with the firm when my mother chose them to write her will and to set up her trust. When my mother passed earlier this year, I called the firm and was immediately advised of what things I needed to attend... to right away, and what things could wait until I was ready to proceed. When I was ready to start actively working on settling my mother's affairs, I met in person with Austin Frye and Lauren Garcia. They advised me, listened to my concerns, and helped me begin my work. For the most part, I worked with Lauren Garcia. I found her to be excellent to work with. She was very professional, but also compassionate. She was knowledgeable, and also was able to articulate and explain things that were entirely new to me. She was clearly my advocate, and I trusted her to direct me wisely. As with many families, there were bumps along the way with some members of my family, but every time I thought things were going to go off the rails, Ms. Garcia reassured me that we were doing things correctly, and as my mother wished, and all would be well. She was always right. One of the things I most appreciate about this firm is the communication. Whether I communicated by email or by phone, if I had a question or a concern, I knew without a doubt that I would get a response promptly, often within a few minutes. Whether I was dealing with the people at the front desk, a paralegal or an attorney, I was always treated with the utmost respect. They made me feel like I was their only client. In fact, one time when I called and was told that Ms. Garcia would have to call me back as she was on a call with another client, I joked that sometimes I had to remind myself that I wasn't her only client. When you are trying to do business while in the process of grieving, that really makes a huge difference. I absolutely will use this firm again when I need legal assistance and advice.
