What a relief!

My wife and I decided it was time for us to start a family trust. We procrastinated for over a year, mostly because we had no idea where to start or what to do. We found Amy Alvis on a simple online search, we called, made an appointment for a consultation, and away we went. Amy did a great job of ex...plaining everything to us. She made us very comfortable with the whole process and answered all of our crazy questions.

Probate and Trust Attorney

I knew my parents had an estate plan, but had not gone over in years. When my dad became terminal my mom came to me with lots of questions. I looked at their paperwork and realized there was large gaps in their coverage. Not much I could do at the time. Once Dad passed I had my mom see Amy Alvis. Am...y was professional, and caring. She helped my Mom create a new power of attorney. We had the information we needed to help Mom. My mother was so comfortable and assured that all of her paperwork was in order it made a very stressful time so much easier.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
