Amy is very knowledgeable and clearly answered our many questions, she offered helpful suggestions, and kept us on a schedule so this complex process was greatly simplified. We enjoyed her seminar and decided to choose her to help us with our estate planning. We would highly recommend her!

I attended a seminar sponsored by Amy Lazas and signed up for a consultation after the seminar. At the consultation for Estate Planning and Living Trust Amy answered my questions and provided guidance to assure my estate would be handled to my wishes. She explained legal terms in a way that were easy to understand, offered suggestions to make it easier for my beneficiaries and I hired her that day. The day that we finished signing the final documents, I left feeling that a weight had been lifted off my shoulders and I had crossed an item off of my list that had been pressing me to complete. Amy and Lori (legal assistant) are wonderful to work with, very patient, responsive and both go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable in completing a task that isn't always easy. Thank you!

Amy Lazus has done excellent work for us in the past regarding estate planning including probate concerns. Recently, we asked her to look into some small estate issues for our aging mother. Amy was prompt, positive and as responsive as one could hope for. She offered timely and insightful legal advice, but left the decisions up to us, which was just the right touch. Any Lazus is a consummate professional, and we would give her our highest recommendation without reservation.

My husband and I have children from a previous marriage and a much younger child together. Given our family situation we sought estate planning from two previous attorneys but were never quite satisfied each child’s interests were properly protected. After several years, and some unique circumstances, we engaged Amy to do a new estate plan for us. Amy took the time to fully understand our family situation and our specific preferences. Amy is very experienced and helped us understand all of the implications that need to be considered when making these difficult decisions. Amy laid out options for us and gave us recommendations that fit our family. My husband and I both saw the difference in hiring Amy and finally have the right plan in place bringing us peace.

I requested a phone consultation with an attorney, through the AllLaw website. A few minutes later, I received a call from Amy Lazas, who provided excellent help. She asked key questions, in a manner that exemplified professional knowledge, as well as warmth and accessibility. I asked questions pertaining to my mother's estate and a Florida home she had purchased. Some rather complex issues pertain to the situation. Ms. Lazas scheduled another callback and offered some valuable advice regarding my intentions for the Florida home. Ms. Lazas gave me such confidence in her expertise, quick response, willingness to extend herself, and her personable manner. I am truly grateful.

We would like to thank Amy for making a complex process very understandable. Amy and Lauri listened and created a wonderful "huge" notebook with all our estate information. It was a pleasure doing business with the Providence Group

Amy was wonderful to work with. She and her team made the entire process effortless and easy. Highly recommend.

With Amy's help we created a family revocable trust. She had great suggestions on the best way to structure this and how to address particular issues that concerned us. She made the process straightforward. She and her staff have great attention to detail. She found expert help for a couple of out-of-state matters and resolved those for us smoothly. Definitely a good choice and will continue to use Providence for future estate related needs.

I receive at least one “invitation” in the mail each week to all kinds of financial or retirement planning presentations. Most go directly into the recycle bin, but I had been keeping my eyes and ears open for a referral to an estate planning attorney for two important reasons. The first reason: More than fifteen years ago, I had basic estate planning documents prepared for me. I should have updated those documents every five years or so, but I did not and over the years, with the birth of grandchildren and other significant changes in family circumstances, those documents became outdated. The second reason: I had experienced first-hand the limitations of basic boilerplate documents and I wanted a more comprehensive estate plan for myself. I had been executor for the estate of a family member who had a simple Will. Administering his estate was a tedious and time-consuming job that lasted more than a year because there was no way to avoid probate with all the attendant court filings, accountings and costs. So it was my good fortune to receive a postcard invitation to a workshop conducted by Amy Lazas of Providence Law Group. At the workshop and I was impressed by her expertise, professionalism and caring manner. I noted Amy’s membership in the American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys to keep apprised best practices in this area of law. Her workshop thoroughly covered crucial elements of comprehensive estate planning and I learned a great deal. At the end of the workshop, I made an appointment for an individual consultation. During the consultation, Amy patiently elicited details of my personal situation and, near the end, she recommended a comprehensive estate plan tailored to my circumstances and that would address the deficiencies in my out-of-date, boilerplate estate plan. I knew I had found the attorney I had been looking for and I retained her services. She provided a “roadmap” with dates to achieve various milestones in the process during which I worked closely with legal assistant, Lori Katawczik. Despite COVID restrictions, after a few emails, telephone conversations and meetings, I had my well-drafted estate plan in hand and I am confident my estate will be distributed according to my wishes without being overly burdensome to my trustee. I am very pleased with all the services provided by Amy Lazas and Lori Katawczik at Providence Law Group. I highly recommend them.

Upon receiving a postcard invite to a seminar for Wills and Trusts I became interested in hearing what Amy Lazas had to say about how to handle affairs for my aging mothers estate. After attending the seminar, under Covid restrictions, we were so impressed with the information Amy provided, my husband and I decided to update our own Will and create a Trust prior to dealing with my mothers affairs. The experience was very professional and thorough. We covered every aspect of finances, real estate and what to have included from our business. If Amy did not have enough experience on a specific detail, such as the business aspect, she assured us that her vast group of professionals with Providence Law would be there to help. In addition, Amy and Lori added sense of truly caring about us and that factor was highly appealing to me. We completed the signing of our new Will and Trust and promptly made an appointment to bring my mother in to update her Will and Trust. If you're looking for a law firm that cares about what they do and the people they do it for, you should look into hiring Amy Lazas and her team.

Amy prepared a Living Trust will for me, with a complete set of related and necessary documents including Power of Attorney, and Healthcare Directive. I appreciated her obvious concern to provide everything that was necessary to see that my affairs would be in order, at my death. The whole experience was seamless and professional, and executed in a tight time frame since I was leaving the country,and included some advice on my timeshare.. She is extremely easy to work with and very willing to answer all your questions. I recommend her highly and look forward to working with her again in future.

Finally had my estate planning done, after years of procrastination. I highly recommend the Providence Law Group located in Columbia, MD. I had the pleasure of working with Amy Lazas in preparing my trust. She was very thorough and helped me with many decisions regarding the plan. Very pleasant experience and peace of mind. Don't put off your estate plan any longer!
