I am a very satisfied returing client of Jay Lazrus! I first hired Jay in December 2021 for my estate planning needs. Jay created the documents for my Will, Living Trust, Power of Attorney, and Medical Directive in a professional, timely manner and at a reasonable rate. I recently hired him again in February 2026 to make revisions to the previous documents and again, Jay was prompt and responsive to my needs. I would highly recommend him. His prompt response and quality of work has given me peace of mind that is absolutely priceless!

Jay was extremely fast and most competent in expertly executing a quit claim deed and having it recorded with the county and Maryland land records. His responsiveness, attention to detail and customer-orientation were most impressive! I would highly recommend Jay to anyone requiring real estate expertise. I’m aware he practices in other areas of law and suspect he’s as highly skilled in those areas as well.

We communicated to Jay that we were in a big hurry to get things done, expressing how slow and unresponsive attorneys can be, and he really stepped up to the plate. So much appreciated! He set our minds at ease that he could handle our unusual circumstance, and went about it quickly and professionally. We will definitely use him again for our future estate planning needs. Jay was also very transparent and fair about his prices and delivered great value.

Mr Lazrus was kind, patient, and listened carefully. He explained my situation thoroughly. I very much appreciated his understanding of my convoluted legal matters, and I look forward to working with him.

Jay was very helpful and took his time to explain to me the strength/weaknesses of my case. Although it did turn out during our consult that i wouldnt be able to use him to represent me and it would have to be an attorney from a different state, he still took the time to walk me through the process and gave me some pointers for next step. Truly appreciate your work Jay!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I use both hourly and flat fee pricing.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I have a free initial telephone consultation so the client can explain his/her issue and for the client to obtain a comfort level with me. Then, if the client wishes to move forward, I send a retainer letter to initiate representation.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a law degree, masters in tax law, and many continuing legal education courses.
