  • My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Adams Law Office, LLC to develop our estate plan. We were extremely pleased with the entire staff as they carefully walked us through the various stages of the plan. We worked most closely with Attorney Melody Haynes. From the beginning to the end, she was professional, knowledgeable and very attentive while answering all of our questions, giving explanations, and making us feel comfortable during the entire process. We highly recommend this firm and happily award them 5 stars.

  • More than ten years ago, I had my Will prepared. When I reviewed the document recently, I decided that I needed to make some changes to the Will. I wanted to work with a highly rated law firm in Bowie, Maryland. I went to google to search for the top ten estate planning law firms in Bowie. That is where I found the Adams Law Office, LLC. I was impressed with the biographies of the attorneys working for the law firm. When I called to make an appointment, I was given a homework assignment. My assignment was to watch the video provided and complete the questionnaire. Although the questionnaire was extensive, I was told that I would receive a $ 250.00 discount if I completed my assignment and decided to retain the law firm. This was a great incentive. I made an appointment within a few days. When I arrived at the law office, there was a welcoming sign with my name on it posted outside the door. This was a very warm personal gesture. I met with Attorney Carolyn Truby. She was extremely professional and friendly. She provided a detailed description of the procedure for estate planning, and she gave a comprehensive overview of the documents that needed to be prepared. I felt comfortable describing the goals for my estate. Her years of experience, legal expertise, and her personal manner of handling my case, made me feel confident that she could translate my goals and desires into an estate planning document that my Successor Trustees could easily use for the benefit of my family. My experience with the Adams Law firm was outstanding. I was pleased with the smooth turnaround for requesting documents and the follow-up to my questions. Throughout the planning process, Ms. Truby kept me informed, by email or phone calls. In addition, a draft of the document was sent to me before the final copy was prepared. The Adams Law Firm, LLC exceeded my expectations for an estate planning law firm. If you have not thought about estate planning, I encourage you to think about it now. Remember, tomorrow is not promised to anyone. If you are looking for an estate planning law firm with lawyers with impressive biographies, years of experience and a pleasant, professional manner for working with clients, I highly recommend that you contact the Adams Law Firm.

  • After my husband passed away unexpectedly, I needed to get my affairs in order so that my children will not have to go through probate at my passing. It was such a pleasure working with Adams Law Office, my attorney Carolyn, took the time to know me and what my wishes and concerns were. She set my mind at ease and answered all my questions about the estate planning process. This law firm is top notch and very professional. I highly recommend this law firm to anyone needing Estate Planning services.

  • Planning for my Estate/Will was something I put off for a long time. I knew it needed to be done, I just did not want to talk about it. I chose Adams Law Office because they were close by and provided the services that were important to me. I am so glad I did. Carolyn was awesome. I did not feel like a "client" but a person who needed help getting this done. She cares. She took the time to get to know me and what my concerns and wishes were. Now everything is set and I could not be happier. Thank you Carolyn, and the rest of your team for all of the work you did and for making this experience a good one.

In our ESTATE PLANNING practice, we create personalized plans including Wills, Trusts, Powers of Attorney, Healthcare Directives, and Guardianship documents for minor kids that solve a myriad of issues for our clients. A well drafted Estate Plan will help prevent probate, provide asset protection, prevent unwanted intestate distributions and mis-management of assets, reduce or delay Federal and State taxes, provide guardian instructions and Medicaid planning, and can also provide for family members with special needs.

SIGN UP FOR OUR ESTATE PLANNING WORKSHOP

Our PROBATE practice area focuses on helping our clients who are mourning the loss of a loved one. We handle the details of the Estate Administration with the Register of Wills Office and Probate Court so that our clients can focus on their emotional healing rather than the legal documents and probate court requirements.

In our GUARDIANSHIP practice area, we help our clients who have family members that are no longer able to handle their own affairs. Through our Guardianship representation, we help to navigate the court process for taking over the management of a loved one’s finances and medical care. Whether this situation occurs from a medical condition like Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, stroke, or from drug or alcohol addiction, we are here to help when your loved one no longer has the capacity to handle things on their own.

  • “I lost my brother on March 26, 2021 due to natural cause. He left his spouse and 3 children intestate. I was completely illiterate about PROBATE processes. The Funeral Home my brother was kept referred us to a probate attorney who got the family stuck for 3 months without any action. Finally on the 4th month my daughter who is a media person got online and found Adams Law Office. I have dealt with lawyers in different areas. Adams Law stands out among the cultural norms. Suren Adams is a state of the art professional: From the office secretary to the main stream professional staff, they deliver the services neatly fit to their ‘Mission Statement’. Timely communication with the clients is incomprehensible among my experience with others in the field. I highly recommend without reservation to use Suren Adams Law Firm if you are looking for a reliable, proficient, honesty, integrity, and go beyond and above to save families. I am grateful to the Divine Being that led my daughter online to select Adams Law. – Lucy E. (Apple Valley, MN)”
