Amy has been in private practice in Silicon Valley since 1992. Her extensive experience in law and business gives Amy the ability to offer her clients a variety of specialized estate planning tools to meet their specific needs. From basic estate planning matters to preparing complex trusts, Amy works with each of her clients to determine exactly what they need and what their long-term goals are so she can help them successfully plan their estates.
