The East county Family law firm is well grounded with what it takes to navigate the process of the probate system. Attorney Amthor from day 1, communicated with us the process and how to go about it. I was thrilled with constant feedback, professionalism exhibited by the law firm, diligence, hardwork they put into it and most importantly the costs ($$). I highly recommend them to anybody that wants to do probate and I believe, some other services they provide - family law, wills, Trusts, adoptions, Alimony,etc Great guy !

I have used Mike Amthor twice for divorce and custody work. This guy has great Christian values and morals. No matter what happened in my case, he always had my boys' best interest in mind. He never gave up! He fought hard for my rights as a father. I continue to work hard today to be a great father because he gave me hope and courage. I also appreciate that he always worked with my budget and stayed in it. There are some great ones out there that make a difference in your life. he is it!

Mr. Amthor has a vast experience in family law. As far as I know, he has been in practice for 20 years now. He is aggressive for his clients but seeks to keep the divorce process as amiable as possible but without leaving his client for the worse. He tried to make my situation fair but had my best interests in mind at all times. I highly recommend him.

There was basically no advise regarding the outcome of the divorce terms. He did not research my former husband's retirement account nor did he do the name change, both of which I requested. During negotiations, he seemed to be siding with my former husband and suggested we not pursue where money from a TSA account had gone. He would not consider the possibility of a decreased valuation of property.
