I had an excellent experience with Stouffer Legal. Britt Stouffer helped me formulate a plan to protect my family and assets for years to come. She was even available to talk by phone over the weekend for several last-minute questions that came up. She helped my wife and me to navigate a complex estate planning process with ease. She demonstrated a high level of professionalism and was happy to take the time to answer all of our questions. I would certainly give her my highest recommendation, and I have already recommended her to several family members and friends.
My wife and I hired Britt Stouffer and her legal staff to draft a Revocable Living Trust and our Health Care Directives. Britt and her team were a pleasure to work with as they guided us through the entire process. We had many questions for Britt as we created the Living Trust but she kindly and patiently addressed all our concerns. I would highly recommend Brit Stouffer for any Estate Planning needs .

Quick, Helpful, and Professional
Even though my legal needs were on the simpler side - a basic will and power of attorney - I felt like Brittany and her staff gave me the personalized attention that I was looking for. Knowing very little about what I needed it was great to have someone take the time to answer all my questions and appreciate all the concerns I had.
It was quite easy to get an appointment and was able to schedule time to see Brittany within a week of calling. I was able to get everything that I needed in short order and was in and out of the office in what seemed like no time at all. I was immediately sent electronic copies of my will and power of attorney documents and Stouffer Legal is keeping the originals onsite for me. Brittany assured me that should I have any additional questions not to hesitate to contact her.
Overall, I am very pleased with the service provided by Brittany as well as her staff and would highly recommend her to friends and family in need of similar legal services.

Highly Recommend
The rating questions above are not great questions to ask. How does one rate "trustworthy"?
Brittany is fairly new in the business but I was very pleased with her. I was able to set up an appointment within 3 weeks. She took the time to explain everything in laymen terms. Brittany also went through all the options we had with our will.
As for my four stars, it is partially my fault. I should have asked how long the completed will would take to be completed, a copy sent to the register of wills, and the digital copy be available on-line.
Overall I would rate Brittany as GREAT. I would not hesitate in having my relatives and friends use her.

"Brit is a phenomenal attorney, who relentlessly fights for her clients' second amendment rights. Her ability to think outside of the box and utilize her outside the box thinking to obtain relief from firearms disabilities for her clients is truly that which sets her a side from the rest. I refer all my Maryland firearms law matters to Brit and if I ever had an issue in Maryland, she is the first and only attorney that I would go to for representation."
