Jordana was referred to me by a realtor friend. I went into our first meeting “kicking and screaming” as I did not want to establish a Revocable Trust. But, because my daughter wanted me to, and the fact that Jordana explained all the pros and cons, I decided to move forward. She proved to be very knowledgeable not only with Trusts but also Medical Directives, Wills, POA’s and finances. She was extremely patient throughout the process, explaining things clearly (and sometimes repeatedly). While being very professional, she made me feel comfortable and at ease. She not only established the Revocable Trust but updated my Will, POA, Advanced Medical Directive and also went to the county to research property plats to correctly re-deed my house and 4 lots into the Trust. Not only was I impressed with how much she knew but with how much she listened and remembered details I shared with her. I truly felt she cared about my making the right decisions for myself and my daughters. The adjectives I’d use for Jordana are intelligent, easy-going, efficient, patient, and (good) listener! Without hesitation, I would highly recommend her and The Penater Law Firm, LLC. I’m so happy I found her, and I think you will be as well.

I was referred to Jordana five years ago by an attorney that I used to work for. I needed updates and legal advice on my Will, Revocable Trust and a Special Needs Trust. I have always felt comfortable with Jordana. I know that she really cares and she has always taken the time to listen, and explain the law to me in a way that I can make informed decisions. Jordana treats you as a friend as opposed to just a client. She is patient and she really cares about what you have to say. I cannot say enough good things about Jordana. If you are looking for an estate planning or trust attorney look no further.

My wife and I recently relocated to Columbia, MD from another state and wanted to update our wills, trust, medical and financial power of attorney documents. Jordana was recommended by a friend and she did an outstanding job for us. She reviewed our current documents and met with us to identify any concerns or changes we might like to consider. She then prepared annotated draft documents that we reviewed and discussed with her. The annotations really helped in our review of changes since they discussed areas of change or addition and provided information in layman's terms. We were able to get her advice on matters in a manner that allowed us to make an informed decision. We concluded the review and are confident we have made intelligent and personally effective estate planning decisions. We feel very good about this important process and recommend Jordana without reservation. She is first class.
