Right Size Law PLLC

What a great little lawfirm I found in my neighborhood! David took care of everything I needed with estate planning. And he was spectacular in explaining beneficial options to me. Also, both Maria and Armando in the office were kind and very helpful.

I found David Taylor through the Capitol Hill Village to review and update my will. I was greeted by his gracious office manager, Maria. As David reviewed the old will that I showed him, he immediately identified careless and potentially costly errors that were not in compliance with my wishes.

We discussed my wishes and intent. He assured me that the papers he prepared for me are correct and in compliance with my wishes. As I can’t anticipate when or what might happen, we discussed possible options. For now, it appeared to him that I already had a lot of those things in place. I feel comfortable that if I become infirm, he will discuss further options with my trustee. I feel that when I pass away, my trustee can call him for guidance and help; and that he and his staff will treat my trustee with kindness and understanding.

That was my primary concern and wish. David has shown himself a man of great compassion and integrity. He and his staff are stellar, exceeding my expectations. I feel grateful to have him recommended to me by the CHV.

Anyone considering aging-in-place in the District of Columbia would do well to consult with Right Size Law. David Taylor specializes in Elder Law in DC and he is passionate about it.

My daughter, who lives in London, found Right Size Law online when searching for a local lawyer to revise my will. Our initial consultation with him helped me realize that I needed something more than a simple will. Although I don’t have a large or complicated estate, I am a healthy 84-year-old and may well live to be 100. As soon as David heard that I am intent on “aging in place” in my Capitol Hill home, he explained the many benefits of a Living Trust in planning ahead for those last years of life. He even arranged conferences to include my daughter via Zoom so we could come up with a workable plan together.

He clearly explains how to qualify for long-term medical care in your own home in the District and how to legally prevent being permanently placed in a nursing home situation against your wishes. This is especially helpful for those whose Executor may live in another city and may not be immediately available in a medical emergency.

A key component in my Living Trust has been provision for a Health Care Management professional. If my health should decline, she will coordinate with my Executor to advocate for my wishes. She would visit my home on a regular basis to oversee my medical care. Legal representation is ensured by Right Size Law if it’s needed.

My mind is now at ease about my coming years and I look forward to working with David and his great team in the future.

I recently worked with David Taylor of Right Size Law to update my estate plan and came away with a much greater appreciation for the value of an attorney who specializes in elder law.

I assumed my existing estate plan, prepared only eight years ago, would need only modest revisions. Instead, David identified important changes in the law and planning opportunities that materially affected how my estate plan should be structured. His recommendations went beyond updating documents. He incorporated thoughtful, flexible planning strategies designed to address future needs and adapt to circumstances that cannot be predicted today, particularly those involving beneficiaries.

What impressed me most was his ability to think several steps ahead. Rather than creating a static set of documents, David developed a plan that anticipates change and provides options for a variety of future scenarios without having to revisit and revise the entire estate plan.

Also, the cost was comparable to what I paid for estate planning services from an attorney who was not specialized in elder law. The difference in expertise, insight, and sophistication was substantial.

I recommend David Taylor. My experience demonstrated the value of working with someone whose practice is devoted to elder law and estate planning.

When we first contacted Right Size Law (RSL) we wanted to get a Will done but in discussion with Mr.Taylor we realized more was required to protect us as we aged. RSL worked with us on Estate Plans that included answers to questions about elderly care and end of life issues. All questions were answered in a timely, thoughtful way in a very comfortable environment. We would highly recommend this company for these important services.
