Stephen C Thienel

In 2003, Stephen Thienel handled the probate of an Estate where I was the personal representative. Based on his excellent performance, I asked him to assist my 72-year old mother in establishing a Living Trust and writing her Will when she moved to Maryland in 2006. He handled this with great tact,... as my mother was in poor health, and was very conscious of her own mortality. When my mother died in 2010, Stephen helped handle all court filings and guided me in distribution of the assets to the beneficiaries. The distributions went very smoothly, due in part to Stephen's anticipating potential problems back in 2006. Since 2010, I have continued to employ Stephen for preparation of tax returns for Trust funds established for minor children where I am the Trustee. In all instances I have found he is quick to respond, and offers concise explanations of the alternatives, or of the required next steps.

Stephen Thienel is very knowledgeable of legal matters pertaining to business. I have used him for several years now and he is always thorough and prompt in his responses. Whether providing business advice as I grow my business or working up my personal and business tax returns, you can always count ...on comprehensive advice and professional support. Starting a business can be a little stressful as you can only get so much from college and through performing research. Nothing beats real life experience and Steve's support to my business has meant a great deal to me, and has served to reduce my stress and frustration considerably. I have enough issues to work through in my business. Having Steve to cover my back on legal and tax matters makes it seem like he is really part of my senior staff. I would highly recommend his firm to anyone, especially young start up businesses like mine.
