Our Team

We take great pride in the skill, character, and commitment of our "G&F team" that has endeared themselves to our clients, friends and referral sources. We recognize that the practice of trust and estate planning and administration is not only legally complex but also requires the highest level of sensitivity, care and responsiveness. Our clients are nurtured and valued, and receive the personal attention, insight and skill of a passionate and cutting-edge legal team. We work closely with the client's other advisors (e.g., accountant, investment advisor, financial planner, insurance professional) to achieve the best results for our client.

Our firm is led by Aryeh Guttenberg, its managing member and founder in 1992, and Amanda Hunt Franklin, member, who has risen to prominence as a top-flight trusts and estates attorney since beginning her career at the firm in 1999. Aryeh and Amanda are assisted by paralegals, Linda Maddox and Lauren Gipe, practice administrator, Kirsten Byrne, and Sandra L. ("Sandy") Guttenberg, our financial manager since its inception.
