True Servant for His Clients

Today I would like to honor a special man, Steve Plaisted, who has been a good friend for over 20 years. Out of our friendship, we developed a client-attorney relationship that served me so well in my greatest time of need. Steve’s calm demeanor and excellent work ethic helped my case get resolved sa...tisfactorily. I will eternally be thankful for you, Steve, and congratulate you for 30 years of excellent service to your clients! God bless you my friend!

Recommended without reservation

We had Steve prepare our will and a trust to protect the future of our children. If you are looking for a cookie cutter will to simply transfer your wealth you can probably find that from any lawyer or an online service. If you want a lawyer who will help you not only pass on your financial legacy, b...ut your values, then you would be well served to consider Steve. He and his wife Pam worked with us as to create a will and trust that not only protected the financial well being of our children, but much more importantly, a will that captures our values and hopes. I highly recommend Steve and couldn't be happier with the wording of our will and trust.

Estate Planning Engagement

Steve and Pam completed our estate plan before a critical operation this April '19 with little time available (about two weeks). To make matters worse I had lost a significant amount of eye sight but still wanted to get our legal matters in order before the time for a second operation, not knowing th...e outcome. Despite the limited time, and multiple conference calls and some missed internal project dead-lines, we worked together and got the documents completed. I was impressed when we thought up some non-standard legal language and Steve had to do research if what we wanted would be legally binding in the State of Maryland. During those times he mentioned he would not charge us for that research time, since it was "a new condition" for him. He gave an estimate after our original consultation and when we signed the completed documents, he held to that cost for the engagement. This is the second time we have used Steve, the first time in 2008 doing a POA document.

Car accident - smooth process and helped us get back to normal

I was in a car accident. No broken bones, but I needed to make sure my spine, and my passenger’s were k. We had a round of chiropractic care. Steve helped us make sure all costs were covered and not from my own bank account. The car insurances (both sides) were pressuring to close the case. With Stev...e’s help, the case was not closed prematurely. Thanks to Steve Plaisted the process went smoothly and allowed us the opportunity to heal without added stress.
