Alyssa Cates

As an Associate at Ferruzzo, Alyssa Cates focuses her practice on Estate Planning, Trust Administration, and Probate Administration. She works closely with individuals and families to create thoughtful, personalized estate plans that reflect their goals, values, and family dynamics. Alyssa is dedicated to guiding clients through the administration process with clarity, care, and compassion, helping them feel supported every step of the way.

She assists clients with every aspect of planning and administration, from drafting comprehensive estate documents to managing the legal and practical challenges that follow a loved one’s passing. With proactive communication and a client-centered approach, Alyssa strives to make these often-emotional processes as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Before becoming an attorney, Alyssa worked in advertising, where she honed strong communication skills and developed a genuine appreciation for understanding people’s needs. She brings that same thoughtful, people-focused perspective to her legal practice, helping clients navigate complex issues with confidence and peace of mind.

Alyssa earned her Juris Doctor from the University of Mississippi School of Law, with a Business Law certification focused on tax law, and her bachelor’s degree from California State University, Fullerton.

A native of Orange County, Alyssa enjoys spending time outdoors, whether hiking local trails, kayaking, or exploring new spots throughout Southern California. She also takes pride in giving back to her community.
