Amy Pittman

The worst experience I have every had. My needs were not taken into consideration nor was the solution. My previous attorney from another State was mock and told he was wrong. Very arrogate without a good skill of understanding my needs. They are all very young without a lot of experience. ...

curious service. I expected that since she had drafted all of my parents documents, she would be familiar with them. Unfortunately, that was untrue. She did not seem to understand the document she herself had drafted and how that document could be used after my parent’s death. The only thing she wa...s concerned with was whether I wanted to pay her for an hour of her time and whether I wanted to hire her to assist me in wrapping up my parents affairs. I unfortunately paid her $1800 to do something that probably took her paralegal two hours at most. The most disheartening part of the entire experience was how rude she was to me. Here I had just lost my father and was trying to negotiate this very complicated process, and as I was now a paying client, I certainly did not expect the attitude and smugness I received from Atty Pittman. I do not recommend Attorney Pittman. After reading other reviews it seems as though all of the reviews are from those who are hiring her and asking her to draft documents for their estate. She seems to be excellent when procuring new business, but the follow-through is severely lacking. Elders should be aware of this prior to hiring her.

I have never met Ms. Pittman, but my grandfather who passed in January, hired her to do all of his estate planning. I was designated as his Power of Attorney the last 2 years of his life and am also the executor of his Will, as laid out in his will by Ms. Pittman. My grandfather had said she did a ...pretty good job, and when he passed I was able to take care of everything from the will and paperwork that her office provided. Well, just this last week, I received a phone call from another attorney who said he had received my phone number from Amy regarding his client wanting to get something from the estate. This was a surprise to me as I hadn't given her office permission to give out my personal information. And the client of this attorney was someone that we did not want to be involved with and there was nothing to give out from the estate that hadn't already been provided to the named beneficiaries. I called Amy's office to find out if she had given out my phone number and talk to her about what I should do. She would not talk to me at all, so I had to talk to her assistant. Her assistant to me that Amy told her that she had given the other attorney information that I was the executor of the estate which should be public information. I asked her if she could tell me what specific information she gave the other Attorney, but she wouldn't say. She said that if I wanted to talk to Amy directly she would schedule an hour, and I would have to pay her hourly fee. This to me seems ridiculous as she was hired by my Grandfather who died only recently that she won't even talk to me at all without me paying her. I am upset that she would give out my personal information, which is not public info to anyone, much less this lawyer. This does not seem to be professional behavior and as the hired lawyer for my grandfather, I would think that she could complete her work regarding any open matters to me as the executor and prior Power of Attorney for my grandfather, especially if her office is giving out my information to people without my approval.

As a recent widow, I was looking for an attorney that I felt comfortable with on a personal as well as professional level. I had met with a couple of other people prior to meeting with Amy, but after our first meeting, I knew I had met the person I wanted to handle my legal affairs. She explained ex...actly what I would need and how much it would cost. After discussing my family and my finances, she recommended a Trust package, including living will and rollover will. After a year, I have been back once, to amend my Trust, and will continue to check it regularly and return to Amy's office for help and advice, if needed.
