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.

    I am not a resident of Maryland, but having just been advised that a close relative who was a resident had died, I needed legal advice from an attorney in the area. It was a Sunday when I reached out to the Eleff Law Group with some preliminary questions and query about assistance. I was hoping for a response early in the work week, but to my surprise, I reviewed a call from Susan that very same Sunday. (I actually reached out to two firms, and never heard from the other)
    In addition to our initial discussion, we had exchanged some preliminary paperwork by the time I made my way to Maryland later in the week. We had additional discussions including the effect of a brewing family turmoil as related to the will. She proffered very good advice as to my options for navigating the turmoil. Ultimately, I decided to remove myself from the fight. Had I continued, I would have been grateful to have Ms Eleff representing me. In my brief experience with her, she displayed a wealth of knowledge combined with empathy which made me very comfortable. Should I ever need assistance with probate issues in the area, she will be my go to contact and I will recommend her to friends and family.

    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.

    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.
