Amy holds her Bachelor’s in Psychology and Certificate in Dispute Resolution from Pepperdine University. She started her career as a therapist for adolescents struggling with substance abuse and mental health diagnoses after graduating with her Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University. After learning from this experience and interacting with youth in foster care, Amy decided to change her career path. She went back to school at Chapman University Fowler School of Law. During law school, Amy was Editor-In-Chief of Chapman Law Review, served as an academic fellow for multiple courses, including Legal Research & Writing, and received awards for earning the top grade in numerous classes and the 2017 Rutan & Tucker Golden Quill for top defendant’s brief. She provided services in the school’s domestic violence clinic, assisting petitioners in preparing their cases for hearings.

Amy graduated number two (2) in her class. Amy graduated with multiple distinctions, including the ALI-CLE Scholarship and Leadership Award and the National Order of Scribes as an Outstanding Law Graduate.

After graduating from law school, Amy began her career as an attorney at the Law Office of Harold LaFlamme, where she represented youth in foster care. She managed a caseload in the hundreds and advocated for the safety, health, and wellbeing of abused and neglected children. In her role, Amy worked collaboratively with opposing counsel to negotiate the best outcomes for each child. Still, she was also always prepared to go to trial and fiercely advocate for her clients. Amy was responsible for not only communicating with other trial counsel and judges but also with her clients, their caregivers, and social workers.

Using her experience, Amy approaches each client with a desire to learn about each individual and family and find out what truly matters for their futures. Through her gentle approach and knack for asking important questions, she will help you develop the best plan for you and your family. Amy finds estate planning an important area of the law, family planning that too often gets overlooked. Amy wants every parent, child, and sibling to feel prepared for whatever the future may hold.

Estate Planning Attorney Steven Cuevas was admitted to the California Bar in December 1977. Before Steven graduated from law school, he had already started his own business. Once Steven received his law degree from Western State University, he began the Law Offices of G. Steven Cuevas. In 1986 he moved his law firm into the historic landmark building near the courthouse on N. Ross Street. Although with forty-five years of enjoying a flourishing practice, the best element has been the clients. For so many years, he has served multi-generations, serving parents and then children. They have been his clients, but they have become his good friends, some for a lifetime. This is the favorite part of serving the community through the Law Offices of G. Steven Cuevas.

Steve graduated from Western State College of Law. He formed a law firm of forty-five years and eventually purchased his office space in a landmark historic building near the courthouse 1002 N Ross St, downtown Santa Ana. Steve is a stellar attorney, businessman, family man, and friend. He deeply cares about his clients, and we have already had the pleasure of speaking with so many clients turned friends that sincerely care about Steve. Although the standard for the bar is high, we are confident and convinced we shall continue to handle Steve’s clients in a similar fashion with respect, trustworthiness, expertise, knowledge, great relationships, and excellent care.

Just one testimonial from the many years and countless clients, most of which have converted into lifelong friends. “Steve is a super honest, knowledgeable, and trustworthy attorney, and would recommend him. I have used Steve Cuevas for all my legal work and estate planning and trusts. He advised me on business matters and handled all the details of my first trust and experienced his council and advice on the death of my first wife. He set up my current trust and continues to handle all of my legal matters.” Harry J.

We are privileged to have a relationship with Steve. We are excited for his now new opportunities to enjoy more time on the golf course and with family or how he sees fit to spend his time in the coming years ahead. We welcome Cuevas Law clients to the Hudack law family.
