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.

Excellent Support for First-time Trust and Related Documents

My wife and I hired Ms. Sarowitz to set up wills, revocable living trusts, health-care directives, POAs, and the other associated documents based on her company providing a course at my workplace. We were very pleased with her and her company's staff as they were very knowledgeable, generous with the...ir time, and patient as we submitted numerous questions asking for minute details to understand everything fully and to inform our future trustees. Also, their in-office document-signing procedures were well thought out and ensured minimal risk from COVID-19 transmission. We highly recommend her services.

Excellent Estate Planning Attorney

Lindsey did a GREAT job with our estate planning. She did an excellent job of explaining why and how it should be done.

Posted by Charles and Maria | July 24, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Estate Planning

An excellent experience

We contacted Lindsey to revise and update our previous estate and trust papers in accordance with the recent changes in the law. The documents she prepared received unsolicited praise for clarity and comprehensiveness from another attorney involved in our estate planning process. They reflect not onl...y an outstanding level of legal expertise, but also extensive experience in addressing the individual circumstances of the client. In our case, from the beginning and throughout the process, she has been most responsive to our own family's needs and our objectives in addressing them. She devoted time to carefully addressing our questions and was proactive in suggesting and proposing options to resolve problematic aspects of our trust. She guided us to finalization of the estate papers in a patient and supportive role. She is an excellent attorney and wonderful to work with.

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.
