What our customers say

“Just seven months ago, life confronted me with a very painful experience: the unexpected loss of a family member. Hundreds of miles away from my country, burdened by grief and a world of legal issues to resolve, I was fortunate enough to cross paths with attorney Pia Candotti. Extremely professional, with excellent communication skills, proactive approach, and empathy, she brought order to all the chaos surrounding me. Working with Pia was simply wonderful. Thank you!!”

Walkiria, Uruguay

“I would like to attest to the professionalism of Pia Candotti-Sherman. My husband and I have a blended family and were in need of getting our estate planning documents in order. My husband’s native language is Spanish and the fact that Pia could explain one thing to me in English then turn around and translate to my husband was very impressive. She offered suggestions on what would work best for our family situation and helped us understand possible risks throughout the process. I was always informed and always felt comfortable asking questions. I highly recommend Pia and her team.”

Miriam F., Atlanta, USA

“For many, working on estate planning is challenging and not an exciting matter to deal with. Pía made the entire process smooth and easy to understand in regular terms. She is a sensitive listener who cares deeply for your own personal situation and takes the time to determine the strategy that best fits your needs. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to work with her, she’s become my personal advisor on anything estate related.”

Dani D, Atlanta GA

“La abogada Candotti es una profesional del derecho con la que mejor he trabajado. Cuando se trata de temas muy cercanos al corazón, importa la calidad humana además de los conocimientos técnicos. Pia integra ambos aspectos. Especialista en planificación futura, con la empatía necesaria para acompañar a pensar y tomar decisiones que ayudarán a nuestros seres queridos en momentos difíciles, y de profundo contenido emocional. A cualquiera familia que desee ordenar sus activos, recomiendo contacte a Pia y compruebe mi testimonio.”

Vivi D., Atlanta GA

“De inmediato pudimos notar en la abogada Pía Candotti su transparencia, confiabilidad y paciencia. La transparencia, o claridad, no solo se debe a su forma nítida y pausada de hablar, haciendo fácil la comprensión del tema a las personas extrañas al mismo, sino que también por su pleno conocimiento de este. La paciencia es algo muchas veces escaso en cualquier asunto de negocios y más cuando se trata de una reunión para discutir asuntos delicados y desconocidos, pero en ningún momento Pía cambió su forma tranquila de explicarnos todo lo que se le indagaba. También quería destacar la persona honesta, profesional, organizada, prolija, atenta y delicada que es la abogada Pía.”

Pablo, Atlanta GA

“Cuando llegamos a Estados Unidos desconocíamos el marco legal vigente en Georgia. Gracias a la buena predisposición y conocimiento legal de la abogada Pia, comprendimos que el sistema es muy distinto al de nuestro país. Pia se tomó el tiempo de escucharnos y de despejar hasta la más mínima duda que tuvimos. Con su asesoramiento legal pudimos poner nuestros papeles en regla, y debo admitir que nos dio una gran tranquilidad. ”

Florencia, Atlanta GA

“Mi padre uruguayo radicado en Estados Unidos fallece en abril de 2021 en Atlanta, Georgia. Necesitando con urgencia ponerme en contacto con un abogado logro contactarme con Pia Candotti, quien se encargó de un caso muy complejo a distancia, de una manera muy profesional, cumpliendo con los tiempos, asesorándome en cada detalle, destacando la calidez humana y su excelencia en lo profesional. Cabe destacar también, que, gracias a su excelente manera de trabajar y asumir el caso, no fue necesario trasladarme a Estados Unidos, algo que en ese momento era muy complejo dada mi situación personal en Uruguay. Espero mediante este texto transmitir a quien necesite un profesional de excelencia, eficiente y a su vez humano.”

Alejandra, Uruguay
