Lisa Lane Mcdevitt

I founded my firm in 1999 to make a difference for clients dealing with difficult legal issues — particularly in the way clients are treated and how their interests are represented. Since then, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals and families find individualized solutions to their legal problems. I focus on people, not profits, and I provide compassionate, skillful representation.

‘A True Professional With A Heart’

Here are some of the reviews of Estate Planning clients on various websites:

“I consider myself to be very financially successful and savvy, yet when it came to protecting my assets from the federal estate tax I was mystified. A friend referred me to Ms. McDevitt. She explained all the available trust options to me. At the end of the day I created 3 trusts and I now, not only know that my adult children and grandchildren are protected, I myself understand the whole complicated area of estate planning because Ms. McDevitt has explained it to me in detail. I’d recommend her.”

– Jason, Alexandria, Virginia

“We were so concerned about going through this preparation for our deaths that we procrastinated for forever. Then a friend died and we knew we had to take action. I cannot imagine that all attorneys are like Lisa. She was so diligent and detailed. She was almost like a college professor teaching you the ins-and-outs. She will always be our attorney.”

– Copes, Manassas, VA
