Landsman Law Group -- Estates, Trusts, Elder Law

“A law firm with heart, humor and brains”

We are an Elder Law and Disability Law firm that solves Medicaid Planning and Estate Planning problems for our clients in a narrow range of areas.

We see ourselves as a firm with heart, humor and brains.

We care about our clients and the work we do for them, but do not let ourselves lose the distance we need to be good advisors and advocates in assisting them in the tough life decisions and actions they must take.

Caring about clients is not enough. We know we need intelligence, knowledge and experience to convert that care into good results. Add to that decades of experience so that we are able to pick the right path and pursue it vigorously.

We know from experience that even in the worst of times there is reason – indeed, the need – to laugh. Life is too short and too hard not to laugh with our clients and at ourselves from time to time.

Elder law, which is our main area of practice, covers a broad array of issues that affect the aging population. Among them are: estate planning; Medicaid; guardianship & conservatorship; and various other issues relating to the older adult.

We are located in Rockville, Maryland, but work with clients throughout Montgomery and Prince George’s County as well as other areas in Maryland. And we work with clients in Washington, D.C. as well.

Testimonials

"I just received the good news from you and your firm today that my parents were approved for Medicaid thanks to your superior work and unwavering dedication. I wanted to write to express more than my heartfelt thanks to you for everything you have done for my family and me. Also, since I have written many times during these past months, about questions, concerns and my other issues that I was nervous or concerned about; yet you have never failed to take the time to get back to me on all counts and thoroughly explain the next steps to me. I am sincerely grateful to you and do not forget those who have helped me in life. It would have been impossible to care for my parents without your knowledge, support and compassion. I am deeply indebted to you and extend my heartfelt thanks to you."

~ Gary M., Washington, DC

"My friend referred me to May-Lis, who had helped her at an extremely difficult time. I was reluctant to make the call because the issues that needed to be addressed made me extremely anxious. I spoke at various times with both Sanja and Vijaya, and their intelligence and warmth put me at ease and I finally scheduled an appointment.

When I met May-Lis, I felt I was sitting across from a smart and trusted friend. May-Lis made it easy for me to discuss the difficult and confidential issues so safeguards could be addressed in my Trust and Will. The documents she drafted addressed everything and more, and when she sent them to me for review, I experienced a huge sense of relief and could not wait to sign them and put them into effect."

~ Renee L., Washington, DC

"Ron Landsman came very highly recommended to me. At our first meeting or two, he laid out what our plan should be to accomplish our needs. Ron was right on and our goals were met with minimum complications. He and his staff were always responsive and reliable.

We thank them for their professionalism and courtesy."

~ Peter B., Washington, DC

"I wanted to express my sincerest thanks for assisting me in navigating my Mom's Medicaid redetermination application to answer questions regarding her Trust. I am extremely happy to report that, with your guidance, the redetermination was a success.

I have and will continue to refer you to my friends and family who are all starting to experience similar issues with their aging parents and will most assuredly need some assistance in navigating the world of Medicaid."

~ Christine M., Jefferson, 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."

~ Karen C., Rockville, 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

"Mr. Landsman's expertise in estate planning has been extraordinarily helpful to my extended family over the past few years. He has guided us through Medicaid applications for my father, helping to shelter income and avoid excessive taxes. In addition, he has helped us to update the last wills and powers of attorney for my mom, wife, and father-in-law. He and his excellent team have been caring, sensitive and extremely competent in helping us to face these challenges."

~ David H., Friendship Heights, MD

"I have been extremely fortunate to have Ron Landsman and others in the firm, especially Tom Hennrikus, work on my husband's serious long term medical and financial care issues. The firm's service has been stellar and a lifesaver in terms of providing quick and positive legal advice and assistance. I would recommend Ron and his firm to anyone who needs an excellent eldercare attorney to help navigate through a complicated system that many people may face. Ron and the firm have known the answers to any and all questions that I have had."

~ Claudia K., Silver Spring, MD

"We could not be happier with your legal services. My 89 year old mother needs an advocate and your firm is that for her. Your sensitivity to my mother’s needs and integrity as a law firm is priceless. My mother can be a difficult character for any of us and you manage to consistently represent her and empathize with her needs. Thank you not only for your integrity, but kindness as a group of people in your law firm who work in service to the elderly."

~ Susan C., Washington, DC

"Working with Ron Landsman and his legal team was a pleasure. They walked me through the process, step by step, and were patient, and reassuring when I had concerns. They helped me to be realistic about outcomes, and provided me with detailed information to make the best possible decisions. I am very grateful to Mr. Landsman and his team."
