Thank you Pam. It was a pleasure working with you.

Efficient and Informed!

Lena created our Wills, Trusts, Medical Directives and Durable Power of Attorney documents. She was efficient and informative and worked with our schedule. She made herself available for any questions we had along the way and gave us the information and explanations we needed that helped with our d...ecisions. We have a blended family that can make things complicated, but Lena easily guided us through all of the complexities and offered many options to create a plan that is excellent for our family situation. I would definitely recommend Lena Clark for your Estate Planning needs!

Made the legal process easy to navigate!

Having recently moved to Maryland we were not familiar with Maryland state law regarding trusts and wills. Ms Clark guided us through the legal process when my mother passed away earlier this year. She has an expert knowledge regarding elder law, trusts and wills. My wife and I were so impressed by h...er expertise that we subsequently hired her to draw up trusts and wills for us.

Ms Clark took my call on a Sunday and met with us the next day. She completed the estate document package in only two days. Exceptional customer service! Highly recommended.

Excellent and Knowlegable Immigration Attorney

We consulted with Lena Clark on a immigration matter. The expert package prepared by Lena and submitted to the USCIS was the key factor in a successful interview with the USCIS. I felt very prepared for the interview and our case was very quickly approved. I can honestly say that hiring Lena was w...orth every penny we spent, and then some. Key factors about our case: Very responsive to our questions, all questions answered quickly Very flexible with appointment scheduling Lena Very Knowledgeable about immigration law Expert prepared of forms and supporting documentation to the USCIS

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
