Testimonials

"Mr. Landsman was very helpful with my case. His team kept on top of the whole process. They were very nice and polite, always willing to work with me and explain the issues."

~ Juana C. Hyattsville, 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,

I am glad to have the opportunity to compliment you on the assistance you have given my 93 yr old mother. As an attorney, I have been impressed with the quality of your no nonsense, get it done approach to elder care law. I am particularly impressed with your staff and their interpersonal skills in handling both me and my mother in explaining the intricacies of the public assistance programs. You and your staff deserve high praise."

~ Douglas F., Potomac, MD

"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

"Ron helped with prudent planning that provided our parents with the best in medical care and housing. When the time came, he guided us through the extremely complicated and tedious task of applying for Medicaid. We could not have done this without Ron and his excellent staff."

~ Bill S., Silver Spring, MD

"My daughter's physician said that qualifying her for SSI "would not be successful, at least not the first attempt." Her DC attorney referred her to Ron M. Landsman. Ron got her qualified his first attempt. [When] SSI bureaucrats tried to reduce or even deny her benefits, Ron Landsman had them restored."

~ Maurice B., Houston, TX

"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

“Knowledgeable, experienced, professional, courteous and diligent. Ron and his team gave me the sense of confidence I needed to know the matter was in the right hands. I continue to use Ron’s services, and referrals, on a regular basis with that same sense of confidence.”

~ Blair T., Washington, DC

"The estate planning services recently provided to us by Ron M. Landsman, P.A. were thorough and very professionally handled. It was a great pleasure working with their attorneys who were consistently patient and helpful in guiding us through the complexities of developing comprehensive estate plans. I enthusiastically recommend this firm to anyone seeking top notch estate planning services."

~ Frederic, W., Silver Spring, MD

"Dear Ron,

I’m grateful for your knowledge about issues concerning long-term care insurance and planning for the later stages of life. When I listened to you mapping out different scenarios and the accompanying changes in living arrangements as I get older, as well as possible changes in the allocation of money, so that myself and my family are provided for in the best possible way, I felt for the first time that I had control of this whole area of uncertainty with intelligent options. Your colleague, Kim, was helpful in walking me through the different papers and making sure that I understood them and her editorial suggestions were brilliant. Your support staff of Sara, Vijaya and Sanja were the best I have seen in an office where the work can be challenging at times."

~ Norma B., Chevy Chase, MD
