Amina Bakari-Green, a former prosecutor in Gwinnett County, announced on May 1 the third anniversary of her law firm, ABG Legal. The firm specializes in estate planning and probate services for individuals and families from its office in downtown Lawrenceville.
Bakari-Green said she launched ABG Legal to help clients plan for their futures with clarity. She focuses on adults who are caring for both aging parents and children. “I work with a variety of people, but tend to focus on the sandwich generation — adults who are caring for aging parents and their own children,” Bakari-Green said. “This group especially needs to be planning to protect those they love.”
She described her approach as highly personalized, guiding clients directly through matters such as wills, trusts, guardianship, conservatorship, Medicaid planning and elder law. “These areas can be overwhelming, and it’s easy for people to get stuck while trying to navigate them,” Bakari-Green said. “When I create a plan for clients and walk them through it, I can see the relief they feel even after our initial conversations.” She added that many delay estate planning due to perceived complexity but explained: “The process is really more of a conversation when you work with someone who knows the right questions to ask… It’s not as stressful as you might think.”
Bakari-Green credited steady growth at ABG Legal over three years to relationship-building within the local business community. She cited networking through organizations like the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce as key: “My business is based on networking… Even though it seems like I don’t have time for networking, it’s one step that we all have to do intentionally and consistently.” The Gwinnett Chamber supports diverse small businesses in one of the nation’s most diverse counties according to its official website. It was named Chamber of the Year in 2023 according to its official website.
The Chamber represents over 2,100 member businesses as noted on its official website, seeks inclusive economic growth according to its official website, hosts more than 220 events annually to encourage networking, and operates within Gwinnett County’s diverse population according to its official site.
Bakari-Green also emphasized her interest in supporting local nonprofits that help single parents or children with special needs. She said: “I’ve been amazed to see how cohesive the for-profit and nonprofit spheres are in Gwinnett… As a business owner, you can easily find a nonprofit that can turn your growth into good.”
