Steven Plaisted

I highly recommend the legal services of Steve Plaisted. He is highly knowledgeable about Maryland estate planning law. I used his services to write a trust, wills and POAs in order to get things in order for my husband and me as we rapidly approach our senior years. I have also had the opportunit...y to know him over many years (as my neighbor) and can say he is truly a person of strong moral character. He is sincere and easy to work with. Steve operates with integrity, dedication and is very thorough. I felt we were in very good hands under his legal guidance,

Steve’s legal services and personal advice have been a great blessing to my life, and Steve and Pam’s prayers for me (when I was at their house preparing estate documents) were very strengthening. I love the all-encompassing approach to law. May the Lord richly bless Steve and Pam in all they put the...ir hands to accomplish.

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.

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.

Steve Plaisted reveals himself to be a nimble, tenacious, potent white knight for fair family/estate law--a bright light in the quest to help life thrive and wade through the legal morass. When Steve learned that legal work my brother had requested related to my will worked against my interests and i...ntentions, he refused to implement the requests and rejected payment for many hours of legal research. Friends, also fellow clients, laud his integrity and effectiveness. Steve presented an extremely helpful estate planning seminar with a summary of options for dealing with estates that should be spread far and wide.
