I worked with Susan on a pre-nuptial agreement. Susan took the time to explain many of the pre-nup concepts to me in detail, and was a great advocate for me in talks with my partner's attorney. She offered thoughtful suggestions, which made a somewhat awkward pre-marital experience a bit more palatable. I had confidence that Susan had my interests in mind and would recommend her to friends for legal assistance.

Susan was very quick to respond to all of our inquiries and very knowledgeable about what we needed to say and do. She made some edits in our contract that were really helpful! Thank you, Susan!!

We engaged Susan Eleff to update our estate papers after interviewing several attorneys. We were impressed with Susan’s expertise. She quickly understood our unique situation and offered creative ways to structure our trusts. Overall, she did an outstanding job! We’ve worked with many attorneys in the Washington DC area. Susan stands out not only for her knowledge of the law and intelligence, but also for her integrity, quality and deep commitment to clients. She completed our estate papers within the timeframe and fee she quoted even though our papers ended up being more complex than anticipated. She and her staff presented all of our final documents in a professional leather binder along with a thumb drive making access and reference easy. We fully trust and recommend Susan – she exceeded our expectations.

Upon finding this attorney who was recommended to me by a friend, I was most pleased to find that her location was convenient and accessible to me as a client. She was extremely helpful in taking on my specific case. She took a considerable amount of time to meet with me to discuss the particulars of what I needed and was looking to achieve. She provided me with various options that were best suited for my case and spoke with clarity and comprehensiveness for me to understand.

My husband and I hired Susan for our wills and estate planning. She was very thorough and prompt in getting everything done. We were able to review everything as things went along so that in the end, our wills reflected our exact wishes. I would definitely recommend Susan Eleff. She is so easy to work with and always follows through on what she says.

I recently worked with Susan to redo my previous estate planning documents to bring them up to date. Susan cared about me and my family, providing timely, practical solutions for our unique planning needs. Even in a fairly straightforward last will, there is legal language that can be confusing - Susan patiently broke it down to layman's language. She took the time to know the situation well enough to make sure I understood the alternatives and why she was making a particular recommendation. She explained the best ways to write a power of attorney and advanced medical directives so that should they need to be used, there would be no question about my intent. Susan earns a 5 star rating - she is conscientious, creative and thorough.

I found myself in need of an estate lawyer after my sister, trustee of my mother’s trust, decided to shut down all communications with the family and neglect her fiduciary responsibilities. Susan was very responsive. I was able to speak directly to her, give an overview of the situation, and make an appointment for later the same evening to have an in-depth meeting. She quickly helped me understand our legal options, gave great advice and we devised an immediate plan of action. Susan was able to immediately break barriers with my sister & her hostile lawyer. My experience with Susan was excellent.

Recently, I needed my DNR before a surgery which was the last thing on my mind. Susan emailed it to me in a flash helping me take one more pressing thing off my list of pre-surgery to do's. Susan is the kind of professional that meets you in the moment.

I made three inquiries to Probate attorneys in The Chevy Chase area. Susan was the first to respond and fortunately, she agreed to work for me. She and her team respond quickly to every call. She is extremely knowledgeable, very accommodating, sincerely caring especially due to our very sad and difficult situation. Do not hesitate to call her for help, you will not be disappointed.

Terrific service, Susan was quick and efficient in assisting and handling my estate affairs. Highly recommend this law group!
