My wife and I needed an estate plan for our blended family. After using "fill-in the blank"…read moretemplates found on the Internet and those provided by Internet based companies, we decided to seek professional help - because we wanted to get it right. We talked to several high-priced law firms in the DC metro area. We met with the Arden Law Firm because of their reviews and flat-fee pricing. Cedulie explained in great detail the services they provided; what they needed from us; and what we could expect moving forward. She made us feel right at home and I felt very comfortable discussing our affairs with her. After our initial consultation, we met the other folks in the office. I was convinced they were the right firm for us because the price was right, and Cedulie and her staff were very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. A short time after our initial working session with Tanisha, we received our draft estate planning documents. A few minor changes were requested and incorporated into the documents. In our final meeting, we went page-by-page through every document. I appreciate Tanisha's professionalism and patience as she helped us though the legal mumbo jumbo and the pros and cons of certain choices, we were unsure of, which helped us make final decisions. It was a pleasure working with Tanisha and the other staff members. The final deliverable far exceeded my expectations. Documents were contained in a beautifully organized leather bound three-ring binder. Everything in the binder was professionally produced and labeled. Where needed most, clearly written directives and instructions were provided for us the grantors/initial trustees, and for our beneficiaries (successor trustees). I am completely satisfied with our "Estate Planning Portfolio." I highly recommend the Arden Law Firm. You would be wise to use them for your estate planning needs.

When I spoke to the attorney she was very kind impatient while I explained my situation to her. She told me my options and was very honest with me. Based on our conversation, I made my decision and although I offered to pay her for a phone consultation, she was kind and said it was her pleasure. I don't know that very many attorneys would give so much advice over a phone call that they ultimately end up, not getting the client, but she put my needs above just making a dollar and I truly appreciated that. If you have any real estate related legal needs, I highly recommend you giving this law office a call. You will get exceptional service from a warm, knowledgeable, and very kind professional.

I began my conversation with the another attorney named Ashlie, she was a real treat to speak with. Extremely nice, informative and genuinely seemed to take interest in my case. I scheduled to meet Marc and every things was set into motion. After meeting with Marc I was even more impressed. He is a very down to earth attorney who deals with real people with real problems. He makes you feel like it's not the end of the world in fact his ability to help in law made the process a lot easier and more beneficial to me. I retained him as my council and proceeded forward. The team is very diligent and timely they understand the clients needs and has great communication. They do not over charge people and they make sure you understand the process that must occur. I found them to be very helpful and I am thankful he was the attorney I chose to work with. Since there are so many attorneys now a days it is refreshing to find one who enjoys his work that is not only concerned with money! He is well worth the money and he knows exactly what he talks about and so does Ashley.

His service fee was reasonable, and his staff were equally impressive, professional, friendly, and always willing to assist. I truly appreciated everything they did for us, and I highly recommend Mr. Knuts to anyone in need reliable, compassionate and dedicated legal representative.

This is my initial review…read more I hired Jac Knust to represent me in a divorce and a domestic violence case. He advertised that his office is in Columbia, but I think that is only to have it look good. All of my meetings were in a dilapidated room attached to his old house. There was a cat there at least three times trying to jump on my lap and interrupting us. When I mailed a check to his Columbia office, they didn't even know that it was there. They said they don't get mail at that address. In court, when I was on the stand and being cross examined, the lawyer confused me and I gave an incorrect answer. Jac just sat there. Afterwards, I asked him why he did not object. He said something like "I heard you say something, but you mumbled". Wrong. It was through the court microphone. The judge heard me, the other lawyer heard me. Also, Jac tell the judge that he is hard of hearing an asks everyone to speak up. In my opinion my lawyer's hard of hearing caused an issue in my case. When I finally decided to drop him and get a better lawyer, he stopped returning my emails. He owed me close to $10,000 and, so far, two business days, has not returned my calls or emails. Another example: I'm going through a divorce. I made a spreadsheet with all household items and their estimated values. I told jac about it and he said it would be useful. When I showed it to my new, current lawyer, she said "No, that's not good at all. You will need a professional property appraiser to document all of the household items." She new the law. She was very quick with the correct answer. Jac....he just seemed to not know.

Its simple we pay HER not the other person, it is a privacy concern to us, if the other person finds out through their own resources then fine, but to email detailed information without asking us, its UNACCEPTABLE. Not to mention the delayed responses, emails that were never replied. We had to find information on our own. Lisa unfortunately delayed our process by WEEKS, even the clerk would wait for a while before receiving the correct documents...

I contacted the attorney in late September about the status of the documents. Received an apology and a "I am conducting a final review of your draft documents and will have copies of the drafts for your review today." Wow, what a coincidence. I did get them shortly thereafter, along with the bill for the balance of the payment. They did not waste any time generating that! The thing is, the documents were obviously generated by a wills program and there should not have been such a long delay. Moreover, the documents were not complicated. If you are military/retired/entitled to JAG services, go to your JAG office, it will take less time, cost you nothing, and you get the same documents. Due to a recent sizable inheritance, I will need to do a special needs trust and other instruments in the near future but I will be finding a more responsive attorney/firm to handle them.
