Our Certifications
''They'll tell you just like it is - and it's just what you likely may need. They say you get what you pay for in law, but the East County Family Law could easily charge more based on the work they produce. Great for filing paperwork with or without the help of an attorney. Need an uncontested dissolution? Haven't ever seen a better price on the market.''
''Michael Amthor was very honest and realistic with me. I felt like I had a plan. He always kept me on track and kept my emotions under control so that I didn't spend my retainer in 1 month. His staff was always helpful and kind. I'm very lucky I chose this attorney, as my friends all have nightmare stories about divorce lawyers. When I needed one, I'm glad I trusted his experience.''
''My wife and I have been extremely pleased with Mr. Amthor's service and expertise. We knew next to nothing about estate planning, trusts, etc, when we first contacted his office but from our very first meeting Mr. Amthor was very patient with us, explaining things in a simple, easy to understand way. He asked us about our family goals and constructed a plan that gave us the peace of mind that we've never really had before. We couldn't be happier!''
