Amphay explained each portion of our trust so we could understand. Would and have recommended him to family and friends
My husband and I needed to put together our life plans and quickly realized it was a job far too large for my wills, trusts, and estates class in law school.

My husband and I needed to put together our life plans and quickly realized it was a job far too large for my wills, trusts, and estates class in law school. We made an appointment with Amphay at the Dean M. Park Estate Planning Group and explained our needs and wants. In a relatively modest amount of time, our trust, wills, and supporting documents were produced, complex situations and instructions explained in layman's terms, and clear instructions given for our part to complete the process. We feel so much relief that this was done so thoroughly, and for a very reasonable cost. Highly, highly recommend seeing Amphay if you need assistance in your estate planning. Less
Amphay is a wealth of knowledge and someone you can trust. I have been very happy with his planning for my families future!
Working with Amphay completely changed the way I perceive and my feeling towards lawyers and sets a new standard for how much compassion should be expected in that field. His integrity, trustworthiness, and clarity are unparalleled, and I felt that throughout the entire estate planning process.

Working with Amphay completely changed the way I perceive and my feeling towards lawyers and sets a new standard for how much compassion should be expected in that field. His integrity, trustworthiness, and clarity are unparalleled, and I felt that throughout the entire estate planning process. Amphay’s sensitivity and foresight, particularly in handling potential conflicts, helped lift an enormous weight off my shoulders. I came to him needing help with a complex family trust. It involved the delicate circumstances of a second marriage, a child from a previous marriage whose mother posed certain challenges, and ensuring the future care of my brother with a mental disability. Before Amphay stepped in, I was overwhelmed by the complexity and potential pitfalls of my situation. But with remarkable patience and care, he walked me through every possible outcome, ensuring that every decision was thoughtfully considered. Thanks to Amphay, I now have a trust that safeguards my family and their future, which has brought me an invaluable sense of peace and security. I can't recommend him highly enough. Less

We were in escrow on a property in Hawaii under a strict signing deadline.

We were in escrow on a property in Hawaii under a strict signing deadline. As Californian residents we needed some urgent advisement on providing correct details regarding vesting and tenancy for our trust in Hawaii. I was given their details by the realtor and randomly contacted them via email. Response was immediate, they reviewed both the documents for title company and trust documents quickly due to our same day deadline for signing and provided further advisement on wording to be included by the title company. Could not have asked for better service. EXCELLENT! Less

We had the good fortune to encounter Amphay during a presentation on planning for the future, given to parents of children with special needs. We thought we had the necessary plans in place after using an electronic estate planning program, but the presentation made us realize what we had was woefully insufficient for our family's specific needs. So, we took the opportunity to get his contact information and several months later we scheduled a meeting with him at his office for estate planning. Amphay was incredibly patient and knowledgable, presenting the different options available to us to legally ensure our children would be taken care of when we no longer could. He and his office communicated effectively and sought our feedback throughout the process. The final documentation included not only the required legal documents, but also helpful instructions and explanations of essential information. Even after we completed the process and had our estate plans in hand, Amphay made himself available to us when we were in the process of purchasing a home. He caught a big omission in the deed documents that would have left our estate vulnerable without his input. After going through the process, my strong recommendation is to not "cheap out" when it comes to estate planning, which can secure the future of your children, and possibly subsequent generations. We are very thankful for Amphay and for everything he has done for our family! It really feels like we have a true legal professional in our corner. Less

We had the pleasure of working with Amphay Champathong for my parents' estate planning needs. He was very patient with my parents who have challenges with hearing and English being the second language for one of my parents. He took the time to explain everything to my parents and gave me the opportunity to re-explain things to my parents just to make sure they understood what was going on. He was clear on the objectives, he was thorough in his review of what needed updating, and he provide explanation on things that should be updated as well as on things that my parents can now consider due to changes in the law and changes with documents. He gave a clear timetable on when things were being worked on and when the expected completion date.
