Aided me a great deal in the last year with my father’s estate process.

Iris was such a huge help! I had a good feeling about her from our very first call. She was thorough, kind, patient and empathetic. She was a truly a breath of fresh air! One bankruptcy lawyer wanted me to sign something and pay a deposit on our first phone call, like 3 mins into the call! The other one I was considering before Iris never got back to me. But I'm grateful for that, because I found Iris and she was definitely the right choice. She helped me and my husband with every single step filing our Chp 7. She kept us in the loop with everything and she actually just called us today to let us know that our debt was discharged (*happy dance*). Filing can be nerve wrecking. But Iris is a very experienced and very warm professional. I highly recommend her!!

The process was so smooth, I actually forgot I had filed bankruptcy. Iris is extremely thorough & very communicative. She broke down the whole process step by step & she has the greatest attitude, she's really sweet. I wrestled with filing for a while, but it got to a point where I knew that was the best decision. I talked to so many lawyers & no one felt right, but once I connected with Iris, it was like a breath of fresh air & it melted away any nervousness & embarrassment I had. I highly highly recommend working with her, she's the greatest.

I cannot find enough words to say how much I appreciate working with this company. Iris Kwon is phenomenal!!! She’s very knowledgeable, kind, hard working and many more great things. She always make sure that her clients comes first. She is very thorough when it comes to telling you what you need to know. I just love her!! If I ever get in a situation where I have to file for bankruptcy again, I know exactly who to go to. I normally don’t write reviews but trust me, I am not kidding when I say how awesome that this company and Iris is. God bless you and thank you for helping me. 🩷

I was very pleased the the expertise and guidance during the process of settling a family members estate. Zach and his staff answered all my questions and concerns in an a timely fashion. I would highly recommend Powers and Worshtil.

Zach and team did an excellent job! They were very accommodating and highly professional. I strongly recommend their services.

First off, the communication for everything related to my case was always last minute, I was rarely looped in, and his office failed to file a lis pendent on the title for a deal that had gotten tied up but for which I had a legal residential purchase agreement. As a result, the house was sold to another buyer but not without dispute- obviously this cost an excessively higher amount of money to pursue than the lis pendent, which would have prevented this problem from the beginning. Flash forward, the lead lawyer on the case is confident and excited that we can recover the $175K in damages that we suffered from losing the purchase agreement and a confirmed assignment of the contract for the property in question. Worst case scenario, he projects a $130K settlement. Not $175K and would have to cover the lawyer fees, but I'll take it. The lead attorney, "last minute" will not be able to attend the settlement hearing because his wife had a baby- not sure how this took anyone by surprise and another lawyer was not ready to proceed, but okay. I am assured that the lawyer filling in has been briefed and is prepared. This couldn't have been further from the truth. I was completely blindsided by having an attorney at the only settlement hearing that I have ever been experienced, was completely railroaded by the mediating judge, who immediately rejected the $130K asking price in the settlement and dropped it to $62K, which was based significantly around the false information that the "fill-in" lawyer presented the judge regarding the attorney fees. He stated that these fees were $25K. They turned out to be over $48K. The attorney was not familiar with the most basic elements of the case- couldn't even tell the judge whether or not their office ever filed a lis pendent on the property, didn't know about the assignment contract, didn't know key dates, and could not inform as to how the joint venture agreement would factor into the settlement such as whether or not the joint venture partner had a claim to the settlement funds, which was another obvious significant factor. I made it abundantly clear during the settlement proceedings that I was not okay with settling for anything that would not meet a personal net profit of $27K on this deal, which was already less than a third of what this contract should have netted had the assignment taken place. Instead, this fill-in lawyer sat silently, didn't speak up for anything to protect my interest in the settlement, provided wrong information (the lawyer fees ended up being $48K), and in the end, I went from the minimum of a $130K settlement that the lead lawyer had projected to a personal net profit of $7K, while the law firm walked with over $48K. One word comes to mind when I think of this experience- criminal. I feel scammed and cheated out of the work that I did, which included over 4 years of communication, helping clean out the home in question free of charge, and more to solidify this contract. The settlement doesn't even cover the hours that I spent to secure the contract. I would most certainly not recommend Brian nor his office to represent you. There was nothing professional and definitely not competent in my experience.

Zach Worshtil worked with me to expedite estate planning documents necessary due to a family emergency. Zach was extremely helpful and kind during the process. I will work with Zach to secure the rest of my family estate. It was comforting to work with such a kind professional.

Hello, I highly recommend Powers & Worshtil for any estate needs you may have. Here's our story: My wife's uncle passed in February '23 and he was a resident of Clinton, MD and this falls under the Prince George's County jurisdiction. We live in western Virginia (3 hour drive) so we had the challenge of closing an estate from long distance. First, we needed a 'Resident Agent' before we could get started and this office was recommended by another attorney. We called and they offered to be the Resident Agent for us. Second, we later had a long conference call with Ralph Powers. He was a true gentleman and made you feel very comfortable with the entire process. Third, when we really started getting into it, we then worked with Zach Worshtil. He was also kind, helpful, and quick to respond to any and all emails. Our estate was more complex than most but it went very smooth and their fees were reasonable. We were fortunate to have found them and I hope this review will help you in your search for a quality law firm where the people are kind and the quality of work is excellent. Thank you!

Very Professional Staff!
