Austin A. Frye

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.

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.

The firm kept me informed of progress every step of the way. At no time did I feel like I was unaware of generally the next steps. I was always of the impression that the team had everything under control and never felt like my file might be sitting on the side of a desk somewhere waiting to be atten...ded to. I believe the firm did what was required to get the job done well without over charging me. In other words, I feel like I received excellent value for my fees. As for the interaction related to paying those fees, that was also painless, and I was well informed of what charges had been incurred at any point throughout the process. I have a very positive impression of the firm and staff.

In August 2021, I contacted the Law Offices of Frye & Vazquez when our Mother passed away peacefully at the age of 103. She had used this practice years ago in writing up her own Trust, Will and Testament. It seemed as though the law staff knew her well as on her 100th Birthday, they sent her a card ...and picture of the entire Frye & Vazquez staff congratulating her on the achievement. For years, our mother told us that when she passed away, we should definitely contact this law office to take care of the necessary documents. Our mother always prepared for things in advance. Once again, our Mother’s advice didn’t fail us. My sister and I worked primarily with Gustavo Fortich and Lauren Garcia. Given that my sister and I both live in Chicago and our Mother lived in Aventura, Florida, most all of our contacts were long distance by phone. Nonetheless, when I was talking to Gus or Lauren, I felt like they were right there in front of me. They explained the necessary procedure in a way that I could easily understand. I’m a Clinical Psychologist with no knowledge of the law when it comes to Trusts, Wills and Condo Deeds in another state. When we later met everyone in person, they were warm and personable, yet highly professional. We felt like the charge was fair, and actually a little less than originally estimated. Everything was taken care of in a timely fashion and accurately done. This was quite reassuring given that it was a somewhat of an emotional time for myself and my family. I would recommended the Law Practice of Frye & Vazquez highly without any reservation. Knowing that we, as a family, were in good hands, made a difficult time much less so.

When I moved to Miami from the Midwest several years ago, I needed to update my legal estate documents in accordance with local laws. I found Frye & Vazquez, and not only updated my existing documents, but created other necessary documents to complete and improve my estate planning. In addition to ...the excellent advice I received from Austin Frye on a number of matters, the service from the whole team has been impeccable – prompt and professional - even through trying situations. In fact, as a result of my experience with the legal team, I actually became a client of their other, non-legal professional offerings, and remain extremely pleased with every aspect of service.
