I hired Ms. Amato to prepare my new Estate Plan shortly after moving to Reno, NV. She created a complete Estate Plan, including will, trust, power of attorney, living will and even forms protect my homestead.

We hired Amato Law to do our family Trust. Samantha was pleasant to work with, very professional and knowledgeable. She was great at explaining our options. We had been looking for an attorney for years to complete our trust and for one reason or another we came across issues; we are very happy to have our trust done and to recommend Amato Law.

Samantha was amazing, we had her do an amendment to our trust and anything we asked of her she was able to do and help us so glad we hired her

We recently updated our estate documents with Laury Macauley, Esq. We have had trusts for over four decades and have worked with a number of attorneys over the years. After moving to Reno Nevada, a community property state, we needed an update. We contacted a number of estate attorneys. Almost all had 60+ page boiler plate trust templates into which they inserted relevant individualized information but most of these bloated documents had information that does not and never will be relevant to us. Such large trusts are cumbersome and inefficient since during settlement, parties must read everything to be sure something important is not missed. We wanted a more personalized straightforward trust which eliminated all the bloat, unnecessary legal jargon, generation skipping wording, minor dependents, dependent trusts, etc. etc. Laury agreed to work with us to accomplish what we wanted…estate documents relevant to our situation written in a straightforward manner. In the end our very comprehensive trust is 22 pages long. We found her to be bright, helpful, knowledgeable and ethical. She was among a very few lawyers willing to help us create what WE wanted rather than something off the shelf. This took extra time so the process did extend over 2 months but we are extremely pleased. We would definitely recommend Ms. Macauley without reservation to others.

I was looking for a good trust attorney and came across Samantha Amato's law office. She was very prompt in answering my call and completed my revocable trust in a timely and competent manner. She was very friendly and answered all my questions to my satisfaction. I had very specific details that I wanted in my trust, and she accommodated my needs and included them in the trust according to the law. I would highly recommend her for any living trust/will preparation services.

We moved to Nevada in 2017 and a friend advised that we have our Family Trust reviewed. Fortunately we contacted Samantha, whose careful review of our trust and explanation of the provisions gave us the understand we needed to update the trust to reflect our true intentions. For example, we were not aware that the wording of our prior trust would have restricted the percentage of assets available to the surviving spouse once one of us died. Thanks, Samantha, for your professional assistance and thorough explanation of trust matters.

Sam helped us with a bad contractor which of course we won, due to her great knowledge of the law and also helped us with our family trust explained every aspect of the trust benefits of it and all. Thank you.

Samantha was my lawyer for my United States Naturalization process in 2018. I chose her because of her recommendations. Samantha is extremely thorough, meticulous and efficient in her work. No stone is left un-turned in preparation. She will put you through a tough mock interview to prepare for the real event. My citizenship ceremony took place in January 2019. I am grateful for all her hard work and for making a complicated process less daunting. I would also like to add that she is very easy to work with. Thank you again, Samantha.

Through the entire immigration process Samantha always was there. She laid out all our options. She explained things in way that were easy to understand. She was attentive and patient with all our questions. Her advice was invaluable. We could not have been any more prepared. Our experience was no less than perfect. She is very professional and we highly recommend her for counsel and/or representation. We will retain her for services again.

Our experience with Samantha was a delight from start to finish. She is highly professional yet very approachable. Samantha walked us through the lengthy process of our Family Trust with insight and compassion, and always with our comfort in mind. We are very pleased to have found in Samantha a valued Lawyer and a new family friend. We would without a doubt recommend Samantha Amato for your legal needs.
