Testimonials

"I began using the office of Ron Landsman after the sudden death of my husband. We had been discussing the need for a new and updated will, but as so often happens had not proceeded in this matter. Having three adult children in different stages of their own lives, and not having had a discussion with my husband as how to change the very old will which he had left me practically emotionally paralyzed as to how to proceed. I had many questions - the "if-then" type. Both Ron Landsman and Kimberly Kasberg were patient beyond expectation in explaining the possibilities and consequences of the many options I considered. They were a sensitive and reassuring influence when dealing with my many phone calls and were both kind and extremely helpful in answering my questions."

~ Beth F., Silver Spring, MD

"Excellent and comprehensive experience in settling the affairs of my mother. Very available when we had questions during the process."

~ Gail M., Chevy Chase, MD

“I met Ron when we were on opposite sides of a case. Based on his knowledge level and professionalism, I have recommended Ron on numerous occasions. In addition, I have had Ron do work on behalf of our company. I could not be happier with his representation and the results.”

~ Samuel M., Lutherville, MD

"Ron M. Landsman was referred to us through an attorney that wrote our wills. He's an expert in medicaid. As he told us, in our meeting he would tell us everything we ever wanted to know and more. That was so true. He patiently repeated himself when we didn't understand and entertained our questions. The experience was well worth our time and his fee.

At the end of our discussion, he recommended that we have a General Power of Attorney. His fee was very reasonable and his staff's patience with our questions and 'back and forth' was wonderful. We must have asked his paralegal the same question a dozen times and each time the response was calm, courteous, and professional. Whether the paralegal was frustrated or not, she never let on. I would and do recommend Ron M. Landsman to those in my social and professional circle."

~ Ronald S., Gaithersburg, MD

"Thank you for all your work.

My wife and I engaged the Landsman Law Firm to prepare our Last Wills and Testaments, Medical Directives, Powers of Attorney and a Trust. All the work was done extremely professionally and competently. Their attorneys worked with us to make sure that our grown children and grandchildren were completely provided for and that our special concerns for our two dogs, who are part of our family, where also adequately covered. We were impressed with their attention to detail, their keeping us informed of the alternatives available, and their dedication to making sure that we were completely satisfied with the provisions drafted. Without reservation we would highly recommend."

~ Linda & William S., Rockville, MD

“May-Lis Manley and the staff I dealt with at Mr. Landsman’s firm literally rescued me by way of their abundance of subject matter knowledge, and professional attitudes with genuine concern. They always kept me informed, openly communicated and worked on my behalf with much diligence, which produced positive life-changing results in an exceptionally short period of time. I am forever grateful and am deeply impressed by the knowledge, skills and abilities of the firm, how they work together as a team, their efforts for their clients, and their involvements in the community.”

~ Tiffany H., Washington, DC

"My wife and I just wanted to thank the fine staff at Ron Landsman's office for your gracious help with our estate planning. We wanted to thank you for your patient guidance through a complicated process. We also wanted to express our gratitude for quickly answering our questions and asking us the right questions at the right times. We really appreciated being allowed to consider multiple pathways to reach our goals and being given the time to weigh those options without feeling pressured."

~ Jeffry, J., Silver Spring, MD

"Dear Ron, Tom, Vijaya, Associates and Staff,

This note is simply to say thank you, thank you. For more than a decade I have come to you for advice, legal consultation and moral support. You and your exceptional staff have excelled in all of these areas, and I couldn't be more pleased. I appreciate the legal assistance you provided to successfully resolve my son's inheritance and your assistance writing my will and advance directives with honesty, clarity and compassion. Most recently the advice and support you provided to help me navigate the nursing home nightmare, and, in closure, to deal with Mother's death was invaluable. I am sure the level of service you provide will continue to be exceptional and this client sincerely appreciates all that you have done for me and my family."

~ Karen P., Washington, DC

"It is difficult to imagine trying to navigate the complex Medicaid application process, especially in light of my mother’s Alzheimer’s, without the excellent guidance and knowledge provided by Ron Landsman and his staff. Mr. Landsman’s paralegal, Thomas Hennrikus, provided hands-on legal advice and document preparation assistance that made the nine month Medicaid application process successful. Subsequent annual applications were also greatly expedited through the expert guidance of Mr. Landsman’s staff. In the future, we plan to engage Mr. Landsman for all of our eldercare legal issues."

~ Arnold F. Olney, MD

"We were directed to the law firm of Ron M. Landsman, P.A. and specifically to May-Lis Manley by the Maryland Disability Law Center. The firm represented us in appealing the Maryland Medical Assistance REM program’s termination of nursing services for our adult disabled son. Ms. Manley was thorough and thoughtful in all the encounters and meetings that we had with her. Ms. Manley’s thorough preparation of our case, including assembling an incredible defense of medical professionals who were prepared to testify in our son’s behalf, and knowledge of the law enabled us to prevail. We would not have succeeded without their counsel and are pleased that their conscientious efforts resulted in our son continuing to receive overnight nursing care."
