Where to start? How about the beginning... My wife and I started a family late in life and only now were financially able to purchase our first home together. Being a huge financial decision, we also decided it was time to create our wills should the unfortunate happen to one or both of us. We wanted to protect our survivor and our now 20-year-old child.
For months we surfed in the internet and asked various friends for advice, not necessarily asking them for referrals. This is our private business and we treated it as such. We wanted to make our own decisions, not be overly influenced by others. We happened to come upon GAWTP in Marietta and read up on them, doing some research at various professional online sites too. After comparing them to other possibilities, I decided to give them a call for a free consult. The administrative/office assistant, Rachel, was very pleasant, and seemed to appreciate my whacky self-deprecating sense of humor and we hit it off (good sign). She took down the necessary information and told me to expect a call from one of the firm's attorneys in the very near future.
Well, sure enough, within a day I was speaking to Amanda Riedling, WOW...!!! She just hit it out of the park. Unassuming, pleasant, cheerful, and eager. I like that last one best. She explained in not too boring detail (lol) what to expect and that was all it took. She just made these life decisions seem simple. She and her team would do the dirty work, all we had to do was supply them with various details. Done deal. I hired them.
We scheduled an online meeting and went over all the pertinent options clients, such as us, could face. We are far from being considered wealthy. Not on fixed income yet, but getting closer every day (lol). I was supplied with links to video tutorials on not only what to expect, but how to best make the decisions themselves. Wonderfully done! Kudos to Dawn.
We've since visited their office in downtown Marietta, signed our documents, had them witnessed, and actually enjoyed the entire process from start to finish. We even took our new puppy with us!
You'd think making these types of decisions would be rather agonizing and maybe stressful since they are about the end of life, however Amanda was so caring, sensitive to our needs, easy-going, so heartwarming, we just felt like we mattered. My wife and I made a great decision. You can too.

Since It had been 19 years since we had our wills, POAs, and ADs drawn up and in that time our attorney had retired and transferred our files, with our permission, to another attorney – we decided it was time to update our documents. Our only problem was the attorney that had our files was no longer in practice. A diligent search for a new law firm was begun and after reviewing numerous firms and their reviews, my wife and I chose Georgia Wills, Trusts, & Probate Law Firm LLC. It was a good choice. One phone call, identifying what we wanted to accomplish; a “Zoom” meeting introducing Amanda Riedling, Partner, to confirm our goals and another to review and confirm the contents of the draft documents she had presented so the final documents could be created, followed by a meeting at the office to sign the final documents. Amanda was great to work as were the other members of her team. They made you feel “at home” from the first phone call through the signing and beyond.

I would highly recommend. My husband and I hired Ms. Riedling to establish a trust and re-do wills and POA's for us. She spoke in language we could understand, was patient will all our questions, and was thorough in her approach to cover all scenarios and giving instructions. She also supplemented our introduction to the process with multiple videos that her partner Ms. Dawn Levine had produced. A top notch lawyer and law firm!

I have worked with her for several years now, and she is the best attorney I have ever dealt with. Amanda's firm is very informative and makes matters understandable. This was very important to me. They give you videos, and pdf's of your documents. So by the time you get to signing you understand what you are doing. I recommend her to anyone needing these services.

Working with Amanda and her team was a pleasure. Amanda not only explained all our options and her recommendations, but once we decided on our course of action, she and her team made sure that we did not miss any details. Terrific people to work with!

I highly recommend the team at Georgia Wills, Trusts, and Probate Firm! It had been too long since we updated our will. Amanda did an excellent job putting everything together for us. She was very detailed, accurate and gave great advice on what we should do for our estate planning.
In my business, I do a lot of work with attorneys which has included some of the largest firms in the country. I would rate Amanda up there with one of the best I've had the pleasure of working with.

Our son was only twenty years old when he was taken from this earthly world. As with many a young person's immortal attitude, he passed without a will. After two years of criminal and civil battles, I did not have any more fight in me, and I needed help settling the final pieces of my son's estate. True to their word, our civil lawyers recommended Levine & Reidling, LLC. From my first contact with Amanda, I knew I had been placed in the hands of another firm with an efficient and compassionate mission to serve others. Thank you Amanda for your help. We truly have been blessed the day our paths crossed!

Amanda recently handled our Estate Planning which included our Will and Health Care Directive and did an amazing job. She spent a great deal of time going over our different options which allowed us to make the best decisions for our family. We are grateful that such important documents were handled by Amanda and would recommend her to any family looking to get their affairs in order. It's a great relief to know that your family will be taken care of. Thanks Amanda! Erik & Sarah Kohler

I was recently diagnosed with incurable cancer and needed help preparing for my wife, six adult children and four grandchildren. Amanda explained the ways she could help me prepare the documents needed to direct my medical care according to my wishes, how to simplify the inheritance process and minimize the complications and cost of probate by establishing a trust and designate one of my children to assist my wife with those responsibilities. She was thorough and patiently explained the steps to take and the documents needed (which she prepared) to make the end of life legal process as simple as possible. My wife and I enjoyed meeting and working with her and she said she would be available to help with any question or issues that may come up going forward. I would reccomend her without reservation.
