Amy Gostanian is the founder of The Estate Lawyers, APC - a leading estate and trust litigation firm serving clients throughout Southern California. We are relentless in our pursuit of justice, standing as advocates for the vulnerable and a trusted resource in trust and will contests, financial elder abuse, conservatorships, and probate litigation. Our attorneys provide steadfast advocacy, precision, and strength during some of life’s most emotionally challenging moments. Whether you're facing inheritance disputes, undue influence claims, or need guidance in protecting a loved one, we bring decades of focused experience to help you pursue the best possible outcome.

California courts handle millions of cases each year, with trust disputes tracked under the “Other Probate” category (California Courts — Court Statistics Dashboard), underscoring the significant need for skilled legal representation in these matters. And while litigation can be daunting, it’s worth noting that fewer than 2% of civil lawsuits ever reach trial, as most resolve through settlement or dismissal, according to public court data.
