The Meridian Law Group focuses exclusively on estate planning — wills, trusts, powers of attorney, advance health care directives, guardianship, business succession planning, firearms trusts, elder law, and tax planning. See the full Services page for details on each. This focus allows for real depth rather than a generalist approach.
The Meridian Law Group operates as a virtual practice with a mailing address at 10530 Campus Way Drive S, #1207, Largo, MD 20774 (mail only — not a walk-in office). Consultations are available in person by appointment, via Zoom, or by phone — whichever format works best for you.
Cynthia "Clarette" Farmer is admitted to practice law in Maryland, and the firm handles matters governed by Maryland law. For clients with matters in Washington, DC, Clarette can support those through a co-counsel arrangement with a DC-licensed attorney — just mention it during your consultation.
Almost every estate planning service is offered at a flat fee, and payment plans are available for qualifying packages — you'll know the full cost upfront before you commit to anything, with affordability as the goal, not an afterthought. That's true whether you need a simple will or a complex, multi-generational trust. You'll get an exact quote during your free consultation, before any engagement begins.
Three things: your questions answered, a fee quote for your specific matter, and a clear game plan for your next steps — whether or not you decide to retain the firm.
It varies by complexity. A straightforward will and basic documents can often be completed in a few weeks. More complex or high-net-worth trusts, business succession plans, or elder law matters may take longer as we work through the details together. You'll get a realistic timeline during your consultation.
Yes. Communications with the firm are treated as confidential. Note that submitting the contact form or an initial inquiry does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship — that relationship begins only once formally established through an engagement agreement.
Yes — this is exactly who the firm was built for. Estate planning isn't just for the wealthy; it's for anyone who wants to decide what happens to their family, their children, and whatever they've built, instead of leaving it to state default law. Plans are structured to be accessible and affordable for middle-class families, not just high-net-worth clients.
That's common — many estates touch more than one area. Reach out through the Contact page and describe what's going on. We'll point you toward exactly what your plan needs.
