Some of the best nights in Sonoma Valley happen with a glass in hand and neighbors all around. On Thursday, Sept. 24, that spirit filled Cline Family Cellars in Sonoma, where the community gathered to honor the people and businesses it loves most. For one local estate planning team, the evening proved especially memorable.
An Evening Celebrating the Best of Sonoma Valley
The event recognized the 2026 winners of the Sonoma Index-Tribune's Sonoma Valley People's Choice Awards, a community-driven program that lets local readers vote for their favorite businesses and professionals. Winners from across the valley were celebrated at the winery, and Gullotta Law Group was honored to be named Best Attorney.
We were also proud to be one of the event's sponsors. Supporting an evening that celebrates local businesses is a small way to give back to the community that has trusted us with some of life's most personal decisions.
What Being Voted Best Attorney Means for Estate Planning Clients
An award voted on by the community means a great deal, because it comes from the people we serve. Estate planning asks clients to share their families, their finances, and their hopes for the future, so trust matters from the very first conversation. Being chosen by the community is a reminder of why we approach every plan the way we do.
The Approach Behind the Recognition
Our goal has always been to make estate planning feel simple, even when the subject is difficult. Clients tell us how they want to handle their assets and their medical and financial decisions, and we build a plan around those wishes.
Several principles guide that work, including:
- Collaborative planning. We work alongside you to set goals and solve problems rather than simply telling you what to do.
- Pragmatic solutions. Every plan is tailored to your family, your assets, and your priorities.
- Affordable, fixed-fee services. You know what to expect up front, so cost does not stand in the way of protecting your loved ones.
- Experience with complex estates. We handle matters of every size, including those involving high-net-worth families.
Principles like these are what turn a stressful task into a manageable one, and they are the reason we are grateful for this recognition.
