A Wonderful Attorney!

Amie has worked with my family and I on estate planning and Guardian/Conservatorship matters. She has been extremely helpful in educating us to our options, sensitive to challenging topics and a trusted advisor. Amie is one of those rare professionals who takes an interest in their clients and actu...ally cares about achieving the best outcomes. We really appreciate the level of detail with which she approaches our requests. For the estate planning process she even included a video recording of our thoughts surrounding the hopes and aspirations we have for our family. What a great touch and memento besides the actual trust documents. And during the guardianship work, she graciously interacted with my father so that he never lost his dignity or confidence as we worked through the tough details. For these reasons and more I could not have received better service or outcomes. Would not hesitate to recommend Amie for any legal needs one may have. She is our permanent family attorney!

Exceptional Personal Family Lawyer

Ms. Mendoza is an expectional personal family lawyer who went the extra mile to ensure the needs, responsibilities and options of the family were fully understood in a time of crisis. On the advice of a close family friend, my late aunt and I contacted Amie Mendoza regarding the drafting of m...y aunt's will. Ms. Mendoza did an expecptional job in an extremely short period of time. Unfortunately my aunt unexpectedly passed away four days prior to the scheduled signing of the will. As my aunt's children were unfamilar with the probate process, Ms. Mendoza was selected as the probate attorney and I served as the Personal Representative of the estate. Ms. Mendoza expertly guided us through Arizona's complictaed informal probate process and ensured that both I and the estate beneficaries fully complied with all state and federal legal and financial reqirements. Without Amie's advice prior and after the death of my aunt, the estate beneficaries would probably have been forced to sell my aunt's home of more than 40 years. Thank you Amie for your sound advice and personal friendship.

Excellent Experience

I hired Amie to write write up my will. She not only wrote up my will, but went over and above what I asked making sure there were no loop holes. She spent a lot of time explaining, and helping me through the process. There was a lot I didn't know about making a will. Amie took care of all of the pap...er work, and really took the burden off of me. I was really nervous about all of it, but everything was taken care of painlessly. I am very satisfied with the service the was provided.

Highly Recommended!

I worked with Amie for estate planning to set up my will, power of attorney, and other estate documents. While never an ideal topic of conversation, in my case, it's something that puts me at ease to make sure my loved ones are protected and that things will be taken care of if necessary. As so...mething I know little about, Amie was wonderful in guiding me through the process. She took the time to understand what my concerns were, drafted everything, and explained all of the legal terminology, so I now feel confident that those I care about will be taken care of should anything happen. I highly recommend Amie. She's personable, trustworthy, and has her clients' best interest at heart.

Amie is very helpful and caring

My mother recently passed away and I didn't even know where to begin. Amie walked us through the process and guided me along the way. Any questions I had she answered them, and if she didn't know right away, she researched it for me.
