Highly recommend Lindsey Sarowitz

Our experience with Lindsey as our estate planning attorney has been wonderful. We met her by accident, when we initially sought to hire another attorney in her firm. When that attorney was unavailable due to illness, we reviewed the credentials of all firm attorneys and selected Lindsey. After our i...nitial consultation, we knew Lindsey was the attorney for us. Through the entire process, she impressed us with her knowledge, honesty, positive attitude and patience as we asked a multitude of questions. We were happy to sign all our papers after a few months, and appreciate all that Lindsey did to get us to that point.

Best Experience with Lindsey Sarowitz

I was referred to Lindsey by a co-worker after the death of my mother. I had never had to go through the process of dealing with the administration of an estate/trust of a loved one and from start to finish the process was made so less stressful with Lindsey's knowledge and expertise in the area. I... will never forget our initial conversation, she spent some time at the start asking about my mom (the person) which was such a comfort and I knew right away she was the right fit for me. She was always very responsive whenever I had a question or needed help figuring something out and always explained things in terms I could understand. We had a few complications along the way that she helped sort out that not only saved us a significant amount of money but time in settling the estate. She was professional and also very personable and I would definitely recommend her and would definitely hire her again if a need arose.

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.

Excellent Service by Knowledgeable and Professional Estate Planning Lawyer

We would like to take a moment to recognize the excellence of Lindsey Sarowitz. A Trust was a necessity for us in effort to achieve the peace of mind we knew it would provide. Needless to say, this has been more complex than expected and a task we are very thankful was handled by Lindsey. She was ...very thorough in her work while displaying great patience and always made us feel comfortable when asking plenty of questions. Her knowledge and professionalism deserve recognition as she will be highly recommended to our colleagues, friends and family. Thank you, Lindsey, for the superb service! Because of you, we can now sleep better knowing we finally have everything in good order!

Lindsey Sarowitz is an Excellent Lawyer

Lindsey Sarowitz provided the most excellent service to prepare a trust for my husband and me during a very difficult time after my husband had a stroke. She went out of her way to come from Bethesda to Annapolis to assist us with signing all the documents, guided us every step of the way, showed a ...level of caring that I would have thought only family members would exhibit. I would highly recommend her for her expertise, diligence in following through, and knowledge of the intricacies of legal matters. I would use her services again at any time and recommend her highly.
