Before finding an attorney, I spent a good deal of time researching my options. Steve exceeded my expectations. To be clear, Steve has a Christian focus but I went with Steve because of his absolute command of the law and the process. He is remarkably good at what he does and I would trust Steve with any dispute I am confronting. Steve is also very practical and will listen to your concerns and develop a plan that takes your concerns into consideration. Steve is absolutely fantastic.

Today I would like to honor a special man, Steve Plaisted, who has been a good friend for over 20 years. Out of our friendship, we developed a client-attorney relationship that served me so well in my greatest time of need. Steve’s calm demeanor and excellent work ethic helped my case get resolved satisfactorily. I will eternally be thankful for you, Steve, and congratulate you for 30 years of excellent service to your clients! God bless you my friend!

Steve’s legal services and personal advice have been a great blessing to my life, and Steve and Pam’s prayers for me (when I was at their house preparing estate documents) were very strengthening. I love the all-encompassing approach to law. May the Lord richly bless Steve and Pam in all they put their hands to accomplish.

We had Steve prepare our will and a trust to protect the future of our children. If you are looking for a cookie cutter will to simply transfer your wealth you can probably find that from any lawyer or an online service. If you want a lawyer who will help you not only pass on your financial legacy, but your values, then you would be well served to consider Steve. He and his wife Pam worked with us as to create a will and trust that not only protected the financial well being of our children, but much more importantly, a will that captures our values and hopes. I highly recommend Steve and couldn't be happier with the wording of our will and trust.

Steve Plaisted reveals himself to be a nimble, tenacious, potent white knight for fair family/estate law--a bright light in the quest to help life thrive and wade through the legal morass. When Steve learned that legal work my brother had requested related to my will worked against my interests and intentions, he refused to implement the requests and rejected payment for many hours of legal research. Friends, also fellow clients, laud his integrity and effectiveness. Steve presented an extremely helpful estate planning seminar with a summary of options for dealing with estates that should be spread far and wide.

Steve and Pam completed our estate plan before a critical operation this April '19 with little time available (about two weeks). To make matters worse I had lost a significant amount of eye sight but still wanted to get our legal matters in order before the time for a second operation, not knowing the outcome. Despite the limited time, and multiple conference calls and some missed internal project dead-lines, we worked together and got the documents completed. I was impressed when we thought up some non-standard legal language and Steve had to do research if what we wanted would be legally binding in the State of Maryland. During those times he mentioned he would not charge us for that research time, since it was "a new condition" for him. He gave an estimate after our original consultation and when we signed the completed documents, he held to that cost for the engagement. This is the second time we have used Steve, the first time in 2008 doing a POA document.

I was in a car accident. No broken bones, but I needed to make sure my spine, and my passenger’s were k. We had a round of chiropractic care. Steve helped us make sure all costs were covered and not from my own bank account. The car insurances (both sides) were pressuring to close the case. With Steve’s help, the case was not closed prematurely. Thanks to Steve Plaisted the process went smoothly and allowed us the opportunity to heal without added stress.

Steve (I call Steve by his first name because while serving as my attorney on an extremely difficult family matter, he became more than my attorney, he became a friend for life) is a one of a kind attorney. In a way, Steve is more than an attorney. He is a facilitator, mediator, and truly a peace maker. Money is never his first objective. He will truly try to resolve all issues before ever having to go to court, even if it means a loss of revenue for him. Steve is a gentle giant (he is very tall!). He is compassionate, empathetic, sympathetic, humble, and down to earth. I had given up all hope in trying to resolve my legal issues when I found Steve to take over my case. He was not only a counselor in the legal sense, he was also a counselor in the spiritual sense. In a way, Steve not only saved my saved my legal case, he, in fact, saved my life so that I could continue on until this day. Words cannot truly express my gratitude for all that Steve has done for me and for his fellow man.

Steve Plaisted helped me tremendously through all the legal procedures of a divorce. He is a man of high integrity and moral standards ..... which says alot for an attorney! I would use him again in a heartbeat and I will recommend him to others along the way! He is excellent at law and excellent with people !! Both those things are necessary in a good client relationship. Steve is very good in written communication as well as spoken. He is very careful to get the wording down correctly and works hard to understand what it is you are trying to communicate legally. Thankyou Steve for helping me thru a very painful journey in my life! Monica Drehmer
