All of us at the firm — lawyers, paralegals and support staff — are committed to meeting our clients' needs. We aim to help clients protect assets through meticulous application of the law and careful analysis of unique issues affecting each case.
Our practice areas also include will contests, court accountings and prosecution and defense of claims of negligence by trustees, executors, and agents under financial powers of attorney. The Law Offices of Amy Gostanian handles spousal property petitions, Heggstad Petitions, 850 Petitions and other complex remedies to legal problems involved in estate litigation.
In addition, we help clients through the processes of creating and updating estate plans. A carefully drafted will or trust can prevent will contests and probate litigation. A revocable living trust can facilitate a smooth transfer of assets at a time when a family may be under stress after the death of a loved one. With knowledge of what can go wrong, we can help craft the plan to avoid those minefields.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
