Susan Eleff is a great estate attorney! She is professional, knowledgeable, and more importantly she has not lost her humanity. I will definitely be implementing her legal services, shall I ever be in need of them. Could not recommend Susan Eleff more!

Susan Eleff was extremely professional and polite when she returned my call about a residential real estate matter. Although she could not help me because she does not deal with residential real estate, she did provide me with information on how to find an attorney that could help.

Susan was amazing. This was a quick, easy, and satisfactory process. She laid out all of the steps and options we could take in our introductory phone call making it easier for us to make quick decisions.

Would definitely recommend.

Susan does an amazing job, she is thorough and patient. She always had our best interest at heart. I would without a doubt use her services again in the future.

She's just great! As simple as that. She made communication easy between my parents, my wife and myself planning their healthcare PoA and others. Cool office at home. I have her contact and wouldn't hesitate to use Susan and her competent assistants in the future. COUNT ME IN!

Susan was quick, thorough, and had my best interests in mind throughout the whole process. I highly recommend her!

We chose Susan to assist with a commercial lease negotiation and were very pleased with the outcome. This is not our area of expertise, so we were grateful for Susan's patience and sage advice. She answered all of our questions in terms we could understand and worked efficiently and effectively to help us get the lease signed. Highly recommend Susan!

I can't recommend Susan enough, she did an excellent job putting together a full estate planning for my husband and I. The package was convenient and met all of our needs, including some we were not aware of at the beginning of the process.

Susan was terrific to work with and incredibly responsive when we were working with her. We greatly appreciate her experience and knowledge to help us with this process.

Susan is great is to work with and by far the best attorney I hired. She's professional, knowledgeable, responsive, respectful and has a quick turnaround. With confidence, I definitely say go with Susan for estate matters.

Susan assisted my father, as trustee, with making distributions from and terminating an existing trust. The documents she prepared were well written and appeared well researched. I would recommend her estate planning and estate administration services to others.

Where do I begin with the compliments? I contacted The Eleff Law Group (TELG) in 2018 once my father-in-law's estate turned murky. Though after-hours, Ms. Eleff personally answered our call, provided us with guidance, and put our anxiety at ease. We signed on with TELG working closely with paralegal, Ms. Kimberly Graham over the course of a year, during which she held our hand every step of the way. Communication from Ms. Graham were reliable and up-to-the-minute; as soon as new developments regarding our case surfaced, she passed word along to us. My conversations with Ms. Graham were personable and delightful, not in the interest of boosting their bottom line, but because she geniuenly cares. I mean, how many people can use the word delightful when referring to a legal practice? Attorney fees were at the forefront of my mind, and I am happy to say that we were charged a fair price with no surprises. There were whispers from friends and family to navigate this process myself to save money, but I'm glad I followed my gut and hired Ms. Eleff. The group's knowledge, honesty, and dependability made a potentially contentious matter into a very positive experience. Thank you Susan and Kimberly!

Absolutely excellent experience. Thank you Susan for your ability to listen and consult/guide!

I have known and worked with Susan for over 30 years. She is a diligent and highly competent attorney who always maintains the highest level of service and attention to her clients.

I had a wonderful experience working with Susan Eleff who is efficient and very well prepared for the services she provides. She is also pleasant and helpful. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

We never had the privilege of meeting Susan eleff and her staff because our mother passed away in Maryland and we live in Oregon. We needed to find a Maryland attorney after we returned home. Nevertheless, Susan provided excellent legal representation by phone and email. Even before we retained her she explained the entire probate process step by step. After she became our attorney, she followed through on everything she said she would do. She kept us informed the whole time.
All In All She provided excellent services, was very pleasant to deal with, and we would highly recommend her to others.

Susan, is approachable, available, patient and knowledgeable. Can't think of anything else you need in a lawyer. She helped us with our wills, etc. with a thorough understanding of Maryland law and our specific needs. Reasonably priced too!

Susan provided wonderful legal service! She was very prompt and responsive to my calls and emails. Moreover, she was very attentive, thorough and effective in her work. Highly recommended!

She's good at what she does. Very grateful that we found her.

I obtained cross-border legal services from Trinidad and Tobago, W.I. in respect of an estate for which searches had to be done in Maryland. I got my document within a month due to delays on my part. The manner of interaction was cordial and highly professional with availability well outside normal working hours. Well done!

I contacted Susan looking for a lawyer to help with my mother's estate. She reviewed a detailed email describing the situation and told me I didn't need a lawyer. She briefly described what needed to be done and attached the three relevant Maryland forms. Maryland publishes an estate administration pamphlet which helped me figure out the rest.

I contacted three other lawyers and none were nearly as helpful or suggested I do it myself. She went far beyond what was necessary or expected for someone who was not a client and unlikely to ever be a client.

I highly recommend her.

Susan responded quickly and offered a wealth of hellful Information and suggestions during our consultation. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Susan was wonderful and squeezed me into her schedule to discuss next steps in the death of a family member. I really appreciated the insight to how Maryland laws work with the recently deceased. It really put my mind as ease knowing things aren't as complicated as I had imagined.

Susan was very responsive, highly effective and provided a tailored experience for my needs. She and her firm completed the task ahead of schedule despite the short timelines to update my out of state will and power of attorney documents. I refer her without reservation to anyone who requires her legal services.

I hired Susan to represent me in two deals. To negotiate the acquisition of an 80,000 SF office building and to negotiate as well as draft a commercial office lease for a 21,000 sf tenant. Susan is pleasant, responsive, well versed and results oriented. She is very transparent in terms of fees which is quite refreshing. She is also quite gifted at breaking down and explaining different scenarios in an intuitive way. I highly recommend her unless you are hiring her in a matter against me : )

Following the unexpected death of a close relative who died without a will, I needed the services of a probate and estate attorney. Although an attorney myself, my expertise is in a quite different area of the law and I did not personally know a probate and estate attorney.  After checking various online sources, including Martindale-Hubbard, AVVO, and Yelp, and contacting other attorneys and friends for their recommendations, I narrowed my selection to three probate and estate attorneys in the area. I decided to first contact Susan Eleff who had received outstanding ratings and for whom I had received a very high personal and professional recommendation. During my initial consultation with her I quickly concluded that I wanted her to handle the estate. My dealings with her over the many months and through the many steps in the probate process since that time have reaffirmed that I made an excellent choice. She possesses a depth of experience and thorough knowledge of the law, the ability to quickly identify and assess issues and to see paths to resolve them, and the skill to communicate clearly and effectively. She is responsive to questions, concerns and requests of her client, works well with and serves as a great advocate for them, and always exhibits the highest degree of professionalism. Susan Eleff is in all respects an outstanding attorney.

Susan Eleff is absolutely fantastic! She is extremely knowledgeable and professional and goes above and beyond to ensure that you have everything that you need. Even though this was my first time securing her services, she was able to accommodate my request with very very very short notice (within 24 hours) and she performed her duties as if I were a long time client. I had a wonderful experience with her and strongly recommend that you select her as your attorney. In addition to being responsive she is very efficient and thorough. She is definitely someone that you can trust to represent your interests. I highly recommend her and I plan to use her services again in the near future!

Thanks to Susan Eleff I was able to deal with daunting tasks of a will and family trust. Susan is a knowledgeable professional with clear and supportive communications. Understanding the complex personal situations and feelings of the client, she engages to walk through the intimidating legal process for resolution. Highly recommend.

Our experience with Susan Eleff was outstanding! We need support to start the estate planning process for my Mother, and Susan was kind, patient, thorough and incredible professional in starting the process and explaining all of the needs and states requirements. We were also very short on time, as travel deadlines needed to be met and Susan was kind enough to accommodate us on a very accelerated schedule. We look forward to our next interaction with Susan and highly recommend her legal services.

We used Susan Eleff to negotiate and document the sale of a business and lease of office space. She handled all the details in a thorough, timely and professional
manner. We were particularly impressed when our deal took a surprising detour, and she skillfully maneuvered the transaction to accomplish our goal. I highly recommend her for any one looking for an experienced attorney for business transaction.

Susan Eleff has a wealth of knowledge about estate planning and administration. Susan also has a warm and compassionate personality, which makes this process much less difficult.

Susan, I just wanted to thank you for how you've hung in there with us after our Mom's untimely death. The estate issues were overwhelming and you have helped us plow through them.

Susan's ability as an attorney is 2nd to none. She is the one person you can count on to not only get everything done in a timely manner but with an attention to detail that makes every project that much easier to complete. I can highly recommend her to untangle and fix for any legal issues you might encounter. As for her real estate expertise WOW, she's the only person I would trust on any transaction

Susan came to our aide on very short notice. She created a POA and brought it to our home. She was extremely professional and I highly recommend her. I plan on using her services again.

I have worked with Susan for more than 25 years. Her work is excellent and complete. As a fellow lawyer, I have relied on her abilities in several areas of the law, including business matters, corporate matters, SEC matters and estate planning matters.

Outstanding experience with Attorney Eleff. She addressed my needs professionally and demonstrated much experience with the matter in which my husband and I sought her out for. She is extremely knowlegeable, personable, and easy to talk to. The information she offered was valuable and easy to comprehend in dealing with subject matters that were not in my expertise. I highly recommend her to any one that is seeking an attorney with knowlege, skill, professionalism, and the ability to get results.

Susan Eleff is our go-to lawyer for so many diverse matters that have come up over the years.

Susan Eleff impresses me with her skill, knowledge, focus and her ability to get the job done at the highest level of excellence, promptly, and at a reasonable cost.

Susan has been wonderful and amazing throughout one of the most difficult times in my life. When my father passed away suddenly I was left with an estate in chaos. Susan has walked me through every step and gone above and beyond in helping me with every part of this extremely difficult process, even though we have never met in person. My case involves some unique aspects including the fact that I live on the West Coast and an extremely difficult 3rd party person that is involved in the closing of the Estate. Susan has taken each new issue and risen to the challenge. I would never have been able to go through this nightmare without her. I will never be able to say enough good things about Susan. She is professional, patient, kind, understanding, knowledgeable, and endlessly helpful. I can not thank her enough and would recommend her to any one.

Susan has been fantastic -- she went to my Mom's home to assist and she is always responsive and thoughtful -- Great insights and caring!

My experience with working with Susan Eleff, Attorney at Law, was a very awesome and professional experience. Attorney Eleff was trustworthy yet caring. Susan was exceptionally knowledgeable and willing to provide me her expertise for a very complex legal matter.

Susan helped us to update our 10-year-old estate plan. She does a terrific job of explaining the arcane but important nuances of trusts and has a solid grasp on the latest changes in the law. And the end of the process we felt we had a solid, updated plan, and she was pleasant to work with. I recommend her highly.

I have worked with Ms. Eleff as an assistant/paralegal. Ms. Eleff is a competent and knowledgeable attorney. Her clients were always pleased with her work product. She is responsive to her clients and helps navigate them through every step of their estate planning needs.

She is meticulous, professional, and accessible in patiently answering and advising my family on all estate legal matters. Certainly she is a 'super lawyer', as many others have rated her, but for us she is also our family lawyer. I would highly recommend her.

Susan Eleff - conscientious,tenacious, creative and thorough. Susan cares about me and my family, providing timely, practical solutions for our unique planning needs and concerns. Highly recommended - as the five star rating says - I loved it.

Susan Eleff did more than just prepare wills, trusts, powers of attorney and medical directives for my parents. She also guided them through some very difficult decision making, and advised them on tax-minimizing strategy. Later, she handled the probate when one of my parents passed away, and worked with the accountants on the requisite tax returns. I rate her a super lawyer in all respects, and highly recommend her.

Not only is Susan Eleff a consummate professional, but also she's extremely personable. She's both extremely accessible and thoroughly responsive. She has been indispensable in guiding me through starting up two businesses. I value her sage counsel and plan to continue retaining her, not only as my current business counsel but also as my future estate planning counsel. I give Susan my highest endorsement!

My sister Carrie and I were looking for an attorney to represent us for our Grandfather's Trust, which was quite complicated to say the least. Aside from our father passing one month prior to our Grandad, there was a huge issue with our fathers x girlfriend who attempted to claim "common law marriage". The trust stated that my fathers portion would go to her, but only if they were legally married. Susan spent a lot of time doing research and did it promptly. We knew where we stood within a very short time period, and we both felt so confident with her dedication, commitment and compassion that we were ready to litigate if a fair settlement agreement was not reached between all parties involved. I don't think that I would have been willing to go forth with litigation if Susan had not shown us her persistence, resourcefulness, ability and willingness to fight for what is right. For anyone that is in the middle of a family dispute regarding estate and trust matters, I would say that she is the best attorney one could hope for. I'm very grateful to have found her.

She provides a wealth of information and advocacy for estate planning.

If you are looking for an attorney to help with estate planning, Susan Eleff is the right choice. She is helpful, competent, and thoughtful of your needs.

I found Susan to be a joy with which to work. She demonstrates an impressive depth of knowledge and communicates beautifully. She goes all out to bring about the desired conclusion. And she gets there.

Susan Eleff was quick to respond to my urgent need to provide legal guidance long-distance on behalf of a dear Maryland friend who asked for my help to secure her daughter's future financial needs as my friend struggled to stay alive despite cancer's relentless march through her body. Susan provided my friend a document that gave her the ability to focus and act upon many things that she did not even consider. My friend was able to put things in order with the people who would care for her daughter - giving her peace of mind and more time to focus on staying with us a bit longer. I am deeply grateful for Susan's sensitive, thorough, and wise approach in this matter of the heart. Many, many thanks!

Arline, Arthur and I are all appreciative of your assistance in guiding us through the estate planing process. It was quick, easy and efficient. Thank you.

I first contacted Susan back in April. She is extremely easy to work with. Her combination of legal expertise and communication skills makes her a great attorney. I was very impressed with how she puts her clients first. She ended up referring me to another attorney whose area of expertise more closely matched my needs. I would highly recommend Susan and will keep her in mind for future estate planning.

Susan is one of the most intelligent and easy-to-work-with lawyers I've ever met. She makes everything clear and understandable, and her expertise and wisdom are evident in everything she does. I have been impressed by her efficiency and common sense approach to problem-solving, traits that are sadly lacking in many people (including other lawyers)!

Susan Eleff was wonderful to deal with. I appreciated her hard work and
determination to settle the estate in a timely manor.

I had Susan review an extensive lease document for a retail studio in MD a few weeks ago and I am very happy with her service.
She is very knowledgeable and thorough, what I expect from an attorney, and she was answering all my emails quickly, no matter what day or time I was sending them; she seemed to work around the clock.
I highly recommend her as real estate attorney.
