Outstanding legal work on small estate matter

I have nothing but the highest of recommendations for Lindsey. She helped me navigate the legal uncertainty after my wife died in early 2019 unexpectedly without a will. As I considered my options for legal representation, she made a great first impression in the initial consultation by explaining ...the likely options available and evincing an understanding of both my emotional and financial situation. Once hired, she competently, attentively and efficiently pursued those options to a successful result by establishing a small estate under Maryland law and guiding me through the process of administering that estate. During a time of tremendous personal grief, Lindsey made the estate work of losing a loved one as painless as could be expected. I am attorney myself (although not a probate/estate planning lawyer) and can personally attest to Lindsey's professionalism and the quality of her legal representation. I give her the highest possible recommendation.

Ms. Sarowitz’s Legal Services

Ms. Sarowitz prepared several estate planning documents for me. Her legal advice was very clear and thorough and she carefully listened to all of my concerns and accommodated them in the documents. She was prompt in delivering the documents for my review and I was very pleased with the care and p...recision with which she drafted the documents. I also note that Ms. Sarowitz was personable and it was a pleasure to be her client. I am happy to recommend her.

Very Professional but more important she is Very Kind

Lindsey made a very difficult time in my life as easy as she could. Settling my mother's estate was challenging and she understood how emotional and difficult this time can be. Lindsey kept everything organized for me and was very clear on what I needed to do and when. I am especially grateful for ho...w responsive she was. If I have ever had a question she answered my emails right away or was always willing to take a phone call. She was extremely thorough and focused on all the details. I would highly recommend her. In fact, my husband and I now plan to have Lindsey update our estate plans.

First Class Service from a Real Pro

I have worked with Attorney. Sarowitz for the past four years on the settement of two estates. Both were complicated, time consuming and demanded frequent communication and consultation. I was so impressed with her work that my wife and I have trusted her to manage our own estate. We also directed ...another family member who has done the same. One quality that stands out - she answers her mail immeidately. She is always available, patient and considerate. You can't go wrong.
