About

I am Susan Eleff, an attorney with over forty years of experience in estate planning, business transactions and commercial real estate matters. I welcome new clients in the areas where I practice, and make every effort to provide outstanding service.

My estate planning practice includes the preparation of wills, trust agreements, family limited partnerships with planned gifting, powers of attorney, medical directives, and estate administration, including resolution of controversies. I formulate comprehensive plans to address tax aspects, asset protection and business succession, in accordance with clients' needs and priorities.

I am admitted to practice in Maryland, Virginia, District of Columbia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Illinois. I am a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania School of Law, and was a Benjamin Franklin Scholar at the University of Pennsylvania, receiving my B.A. there in two years after high school, summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa, with honors in my major, Economics, where I was awarded the Shanbaum Prize (top Economics graduate). I have been rated "AV Preeminent" in the Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings, the highest rating possible for both skills and ethics, and hold a 10.0 Superb rating with the Avvo attorney rating website.

I can be reached at 301.857.1990 or 800.765.2662, or via [email protected] I look forward to hearing from you.

    In the last twelve months, I had to revise my Last Will & Testament twice; both times I used the services of The Eleff Law Group. I received an outstanding service with prompt, clear, and enlightening guidance regarding my options. Ms Eleff took the time to explain to me the County Laws regarding Wills and Probate, and translated them to me from legalese to a language that a layperson like myself can understand. All that at a reasonable fee. Thank you Ms Eleff.

    We had such a positive experience working with Susan Eleff. She was very responsive and took the time to fully understand our estate planning needs, which were unique and complicated. She updated all of our documents and made excellent suggestions regarding new property trusts. It was clear to me that Susan really cared about ensuring our estate papers were thorough and that they addressed all of our needs. She is one of the best estate planning attorneys and one that I fully trust and highly recommend.

    We engaged Susan Eleff to update our estate papers after interviewing several attorneys. We were impressed with Susan’s expertise. She quickly understood our unique situation and offered creative ways to structure our trusts. Overall, she did an outstanding job! We’ve worked with many attorneys in the Washington DC area. Susan stands out not only for her knowledge of the law and intelligence, but also for her integrity, quality and deep commitment to clients. She completed our estate papers within the timeframe and fee she quoted even though our papers ended up being more complex than anticipated. She and her staff presented all of our final documents in a professional leather binder along with a thumb drive making access and reference easy. We fully trust and recommend Susan – she exceeded our expectations.

    Frequently asked questions

    I offer a free initial consultation of about 15 minutes.  I prefer that my potential clients fill out my questionnaire and submit before we chat, which I review before the consultation, at no charge as well. 

    I offer flat fee or hourly pricing.  Ask for details!

    We're happy to tell you all about our safety measures during these challenging times.  We hold all client meetings outdoors, in our beautiful garden setting in Silver Spring, Maryland. We wear masks, and require all clients to do so, too.  We santize all surfaces regularly and observe social distancing.
