Mr
Lena Clark and her staff provided exemplary estate planning advice for my wife and I. From the initial consultation it took her eight working days to finalize all of our estate planning documents which were rather complex. Very professional service, completed in a timely manner giving us peace of mind. We would recommend Lena Clark’s estate planning services to others.

Very professional staff and dealing with Mrs Clark was very easy. She guided my wife and I through our issues and advised us on areas important to our end of life matters. All promises were meant and our concerns about COVID-19 were non-issues.

Thank you.
Lena Clark did wills for my mother and myself. After my mother passed she and her wonderful team helped me figure out everything that needed to be done. It's not easy to do but with the help of my lawyer it went very smoothly.

Highly recommended: thorough, responsible, and responsive
We have worked with Attorney Clark and her associates on a couple of occasions now. They are always helpful, thorough, prompt, friendly and courteous. They do a terrific job of explaining legal technicalities in a way that is understandable to those of us without legal training. We also very much appreciated the care that she and her staff took to provide appropriate health protections in our interactions during the pandemic.

Quick Reliable & Easy
I had been looking for an estate attorney to establish a trust for my grandsons and complete all my other estate documents. They were all out of Washington DC our Baltimore area. I found the Law Office of Lena and could be more satisfied with the way everything was handled and the advice they provided. They were not the cheats but I received a quality product and service.

Attorney Clark and her team were very knowledgeable and made this process very easy for us. Legal Assistants Mrs. McGovern & Ms. Graves were amazing and answered every question we had quickly. We would definitely recommend the Law offices of Lena A. Clark to anyone looking for a knowledgeable firm in estate planning and trusts.

Great experience during stressful times
Nothing like a worldwide pandemic to get me to work on my estate plan! Attorney Clark quickly adjusted to a virtual process to work together and her staff were exceptional in keeping everything moving, including dressing out in gloves and masks to facilitate document signing. Thank you Stephanie, Myka, and Attorney Clark!

Excellent, personal and personable.
Being new to Maryland, we needed to update and geographically render our estate planning correct. An online review brought us to the law office of Lena Clark. Very informative, laid out options, explained processes and was very patient with non-lawyer people like us. Paperwork was done very quickly and professionally. Highly recommend Ms. Clark with no reservations.

Great estate lawyer
She wrote and explained our wills, health care directives, revocable trusts including the deed of our primary residence in an efficient manner. We especially liked her comfortable manner which was great for us being confronted with all the legal terms associated with estate planning.

Lena Clark
Lena was very helpful and thorough. She asked a lot of questions and answered all of ours. Lena was very professional and friendly and made sure we were completely satisfied. My only complaint would be the cost. I could have saved a little money if I went through my union from work but I would have to go to Rockville. In all fairness to Lena I did not shop around in Frederick to compare cost. I am sure it depends on the details of your will of how much it cost. My wife and I were happy with Lena and I highly recommend her.

Quick to act in a time of need
Like so many of us, my wife and I put off doing any meaningful estate planning other than just talking and agreeing it was something we needed to do. My wife fell ill, and is now in Hospice Care. With a small window of opportunity where my wife was still cognizant and able to participate, Lena came to us at the Hospice House and helped us get things properly in place. She juggled her schedule to set aside time to meet with us, hear our concerns, and make great legal and tax/probate protection recommendations. Within two days we had all of the legal documents in place, and most importantly we now have peace of mind regarding the estate my wife will leave behind. I would highly recommend Lena to anyone needing her services.

Excellence in elder care law.
Our son-in-law on the West Coast felt that we, here in Frederick, MD, should seek the services of an elder care lawyer as we are in our 80th decade. Research on the net made him realize that Lena Clark was an obvious choice. This proved to be brilliant as our will was outdated and we needed a review, as well as the addition of our daughter to act as power of attorney. Lena was thorough, friendly, and helpful. We would highly recommend her to anyone.
