Best law firm in Baltimore. James has helped me with many legal challenges and has always represented me with top notch care and service and I go to him with any legal concerns I have in Maryland. If he doesn’t specialize in what I’m looking for he will find me a colleague that will give me great representation. Very knowledgeable, personable, and cares about all of his clients.

Julius was very informative, so helpful in getting me divorced. It was quick and easy. If you have limited childcare he does consultations over video chat, and his office is right in town for meetings, to discuss the simplest way to get your needs taken care of. Julius is friendly, knowledgeable, and I am so happy he took the time to represent me, and help me get my divorce taken care of! Give him a call, you will not be disappointed!!!

I highly recommend Blattner Family Law Group! Mr. Julius, Ms. Autumn, and Ms. Reagan were incredibly supportive, professional, and compassionate throughout my case. They took the time to understand my situation, kept me informed every step of the way, and always made me feel heard. Their expertise and dedication led to a favorable outcome, and I couldn’t be more grateful. If you need a legal team that truly cares about you, look no further!

Kerri Cohen provided exceptional care and dedication to my case, ensuring the well-being of both myself and my child. She was consistently available to address any questions or concerns I had and went above and beyond to advocate for us. If you’re seeking a lawyer who is determined, passionate, and deeply committed to her clients, look no further. I was initially apprehensive about the consultation, as my case was particularly complex and uncommon. However, after speaking with Kerri, I immediately felt confident in her abilities. Her strength, determination, and understanding of the profound impact of domestic violence reassured me that I was in capable hands. She recognized the gravity of the situation and took swift, decisive action to protect our future. I am incredibly grateful for her unwavering support and the successful outcome of my case. Kerri Cohen is a true fighter, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Mr. Paliath ask personal questions and discussed different roles of court persons. My grandson did not understand the concepts of court and Mr. Paliath expressed this concern to the judge. It was determined by the judge that my grandson needed training about court. Mr. Paliath had to return during the winter twice and the case was not settled until June 2016. Through all of this Mr. Paliath kept in contact about each and every court corespondence. Mr. Paliath is both kind and a complete professional. I will call him again!!

As a result of the excellent legal advice, guidance, empathy and compassion I received from Kimberly Battaglia and her paralegal, Ricky, I was able to obtain the 24/7 nursing care my mother was in desperate need of within a few short months. This may sound "routine" but it certainly is not. Our family of numerous siblings had tried and failed for four years to provide needed care for Mom at home while trying to cut through the legal, financial & government red tape of Medicare & Medicaid on our own. Without adequate knowledge, this proved to be one of the most time consuming and frustrating experiences of our lives. The ongoing & overwhelming stress was destroying our family from within. From the outset, Kim & Ricky assured me they would help us obtain the quality care we were seeking for Mom and just as importantly, relieve our family of the huge financial burden, and yes fear, of what we faced without obtaining Medicaid approval. Kim successfully accomplished all she had promised. Without Kim's concern and expert legal guidance, my lifetime retirement savings would have been lost in order to pay for private nursing care for Mom. Do yourself and your family a favor by retaining Kim to lead you out of the legal elder care wilderness and into the sunshine of peace of mind, relief and happiness that comes with knowing your loved one is being properly cared for while also protecting you from certain financial disaster.

With Ms. Battaglia's assistance I was able to successfully apply for Long Term Care Medical Assistance for my father back in February 2011. I was also able to allocate my father's income to my mother, which was truly the best part of the plan Ms. Battaglia laid out for me. Now my father is being taken care of at the care facility and my mother can still maintain her lifestyle at home. We also worked with a paralegal who helped coordinate the information Ms. Battaglia needed to process the application for benefits. They worked together as a team, which helped to keep the costs down. The entire process went very smoothly and the cost for all of the legal services were less than one month of paying the facility privately!

I found Robert here on Avvo and hired him to help with my unique appeal. I had won in Circuit Court with the help of another attorney, but the opposing party disagreed and filed an appeal. Robert dived into the case law surrounding my issue and familiarized himself with it. We had to appear in person at the Court of Special Appeals and Robert did an excellent job at presenting our argument and won our case. The opposing party then appealed to the Court of Appeals, but Robert's continued argument ended with the Court of Appeals dismissing the case, upholding our winning status. Robert also did a great job in providing his professional opinion without guaranteeing any sort of outcome. Thanks Robert, I truly appreciate your hard work on my case.

A friend recommended consulting with Robert Oehrig to review my Will and Trust which need updating. My concerns were specifically about procedures and requirements that differ from state to state, especially regarding real estate since I may be moving, and advice about choosing a personal representative. Robert answered every question in a way that was easily understood by a non-lawyer and offered possible options when appropriate. He is articulate, patient, and demonstrates a broad knowledge base. Should I decide to update my Will and Trust if I stay in Maryland I will certainly seek his services again.

We trusted him, relied upon him and asked him for a great many things - he came through on all of them. I could not be more pleased or satisfied with all Mr. Hassani has done for us.

What an Estate Planning Lawyer Can Do for You

An estate planning lawyer helps individuals plan for the management and distribution of their assets after death or during incapacitation. Their services involve drafting important legal documents, such as wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives. Estate planning attorneys work to ensure that your assets are transferred according to your wishes, minimize tax liabilities, and avoid probate court. They also help clients plan for potential long-term care needs and protect their estate from being diminished by healthcare costs.

By working with an estate planning lawyer, you can have peace of mind knowing that your loved ones will be cared for and that your estate will be managed efficiently and according to your desires.

When Should I Hire an Estate Planning Lawyer?

Hiring an estate planning lawyer is beneficial in many situations, especially when you want to ensure that your assets are handled properly after death. Common reasons to hire an estate planning lawyer include:

  • Drafting a will: If you want to clearly define how your assets will be distributed after death, an attorney can draft a legally sound will.
  • Creating a trust: For those looking to avoid probate or provide for loved ones over time, setting up a trust can help manage the distribution of assets.
  • Planning for incapacity: An estate lawyer can help draft powers of attorney and healthcare directives so that your financial and medical decisions are made by someone you trust if you become incapacitated.
  • Minimizing estate taxes: If your estate is large, a lawyer can help create strategies to reduce or eliminate federal and state estate taxes.
  • Special circumstances: If you have minor children, blended families, or complex assets like businesses, an estate planning lawyer can create tailored solutions.
  • Guardianship or conservatorship: If you want to designate guardians for minor children or ensure proper care for incapacitated adults, an attorney can help.

Hiring an estate planning lawyer is especially important if your estate is complex or if you want to ensure that your wishes are properly followed.

What Does an Estate Planning Lawyer Do?

An estate planning lawyer provides a range of services designed to help you organize your affairs and ensure your estate is managed according to your wishes. They can:

  • Draft wills and trusts: Creating legally binding documents that dictate how your assets will be distributed and managed.
  • Create powers of attorney and healthcare directives: Appointing someone to make financial or medical decisions for you if you become incapacitated.
  • Minimize taxes: Developing strategies to reduce estate taxes, gift taxes, and other financial liabilities for your heirs.
  • Help avoid probate: Structuring your estate plan to avoid probate, which can save time and money for your beneficiaries.
  • Advise on long-term care planning: Helping you plan for potential healthcare needs in the future, including Medicaid planning and protecting assets from being depleted by nursing home costs.
  • Assist with beneficiary designations: Ensuring that life insurance policies, retirement accounts, and other financial instruments are correctly designated.
  • Handle probate and estate administration: If a loved one has passed away, an estate planning lawyer can help guide you through the probate process or act as an executor.

How Are Estate Planning Lawyers Paid?

Estate planning lawyers typically charge for their services in one of several ways, depending on the complexity of your estate and the type of services you need. Common payment structures include:

  • Flat fee: Many estate planning services, such as drafting a will or trust, are charged on a flat-fee basis. The fee covers all work related to preparing the document.
  • Hourly rate: For more complex planning, such as estate tax strategy or trust administration, lawyers may charge by the hour. Rates vary based on the lawyer’s experience and location.
  • Retainer: Some lawyers require a retainer for more complex cases, such as ongoing trust management or estate administration. The retainer is an upfront payment that covers future legal services.

It’s important to discuss fees with your lawyer upfront to avoid unexpected costs.

How Much Does an Estate Planning Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring an estate planning lawyer depends on the complexity of your estate and the services you require. Here are some general guidelines:

  • Simple wills or powers of attorney: A straightforward will or power of attorney may cost between $300 and $1,500, depending on your location and the lawyer’s experience.
  • Trust creation: Establishing a trust, such as a living trust or revocable trust, can cost between $1,000 and $3,000 or more, depending on the complexity of your assets and estate planning needs.
  • Comprehensive estate planning packages: Some lawyers offer packages that include wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives, which may range from $2,000 to $5,000 or more, depending on the estate’s complexity.
  • Hourly rates: For ongoing services like estate administration or tax planning, lawyers may charge hourly rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience.

Always get a clear estimate of costs during your initial consultation to ensure the services fit within your budget.

Top Questions to Ask an Estate Planning Lawyer

Before hiring an estate planning lawyer, it’s important to ask questions to ensure they are the right fit for your needs. Here are key questions to ask during your consultation:

  1. What is your experience with estate planning?
    Ensure the lawyer has substantial experience drafting wills, creating trusts, and handling other estate planning services.
  2. How will you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges a flat fee or by the hour and ask for a detailed estimate of costs.
  3. What strategies do you recommend for my estate?
    A good lawyer should be able to explain the best strategies for minimizing taxes, avoiding probate, and ensuring your assets are distributed according to your wishes.
  4. How often should I update my estate plan?
    Ask how frequently you should revisit your estate plan, especially if your financial situation or family dynamics change.
  5. Do you offer ongoing support or updates?
    Some lawyers provide periodic reviews or updates to ensure your estate plan stays current with changes in your circumstances or the law.
  6. How will you help my beneficiaries if something happens to me?
    Ensure the lawyer is willing to guide your heirs through the estate administration process or help manage your trust after you’re gone.

How to Check the Credibility of an Estate Planning Lawyer

To ensure you’re hiring a credible estate planning lawyer, follow these steps:

  • Verify their state bar license: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing, with no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Look for estate planning certifications: Some lawyers are certified as estate planning specialists, which indicates they have extensive knowledge in this area of law.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Online reviews on sites like Avvo, Google, or Martindale-Hubbell can provide insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and client satisfaction.
  • Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from previous clients who can speak to their expertise and client service.
  • Check for membership in professional organizations: Lawyers who are members of organizations like the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) or the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC) often have a strong reputation in the field.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first meeting with an estate planning lawyer, it’s important to come prepared. Here’s what you should bring:

  • List of assets and liabilities: Provide a detailed inventory of your assets, including real estate, bank accounts, retirement funds, investments, and personal property, as well as any debts you may have.
  • List of beneficiaries: Be ready to discuss who you want to receive your assets and in what proportions. This includes naming guardians for minor children if applicable.
  • Existing estate documents: Bring copies of any existing wills, trusts, powers of attorney, or other relevant estate planning documents.
  • Questions about your estate goals: Write down your goals, such as avoiding probate, reducing taxes, or setting up charitable donations, so your lawyer can tailor a plan to meet your needs.
  • Information on medical and financial decision-makers: Be prepared to discuss who you want to appoint for healthcare and financial decisions if you become incapacitated.

By being well-prepared, you can ensure a productive consultation and begin building a comprehensive estate plan that meets your needs and protects your loved ones.
