About Amy Oakden

Hi! I’m Amy Oakden, owner of Oakden Law. I became a Personal Family Lawyer because I wanted to be a true trusted advisor to my clients – someone you can rely on when you have questions. I don’t just draft documents and send you on your way never to be heard from again. I am here to be your lawyer for life.

I help families and business owners build and protect their wealth. I am also experienced with planning strategies for blended families and unmarried couples. I am passionate about educating my community on the possibilities of what could happen with no plan – or the wrong plan – in place, and helping my clients determine what plan best suits their needs in order to keep their families out of court and out of conflict.

I graduated from Cal Poly Pomona in 2003 with a Bachelor’s degree in English and went on to earn my law degree with honors in 2006 from Chapman University School of Law. I am admitted to practice law in California and Texas.

Most importantly, I am a wife and a mom to three amazing kids. When I am not advising clients and educating my community on the importance of estate planning, I enjoy kayaking, paddle boarding, camping and spending time outdoors with my family and our two dogs, traveling, frequenting local restaurants and wineries, and entertaining friends and family with elaborate dinner parties.

THE PERSONAL FAMILY LAWYER PROMISE

What makes PFL lawyers different?

How you hire us.

We begin with a comprehensive inventory of everything you own, and everyone you love, and consider it all in a working meeting, called a Family Wealth Planning Session, to guide you to clarify your financial life and legacy goals before we draft a single document.
How we plan.

We work with you throughout every life stage to map out the most likely scenarios for you and the people you love, planning for each as your life, the law, and your assets change over time.
What we protect.

Our Life & Legacy Planning process ensures everything that matters most -- from your financial assets to your values, insights, stories and experience -- are captured and documented during your life and cared for over the generations to come.
What you see.

Transparency in our process, and our fees … all of which are flat fees, agreed to in advance, based on your choices and with no surprises, ensuring we stay on the same side of the table - supporting you to make a lifetime of great decisions - every step of the way.
How we deliver.

Our systems help you get clear and organized, overcoming the exact issues that keep most estate plans from actually working when they are needed most. We help you leave your family with a gift of love, and not a mess.
How our plans work.

One-and-done estate plans focused only on money are a recipe for a big mess. We help you throughout every stage of life and be there for the people you love, when you can’t be.
