About Flanders & Wade

The Law Firm of Flanders and Wade has been providing quality estate planning legal services to Northern Virginia families for over fifteen years.  We realize that despite the recognized importance of estate planning, it is one of those things that many, if not most people tend to put off.  Just about every client that sits down in our offices admits right off the bat that "they have been meaning to get this done for years." 

One of the most important reasons sited for putting these things off is the cost.  Unfortunately, unlike most goods and services people buy, estate planning and legal document preparation fees vary wildly, not only from state to state and city to city, but even from one firm to another, even if they are just down the block from each other.  At Flanders and Wade, we pride ourselves on our ability to ably represent our estate planning clients without charging them exhorbitant fees in the process.  We challenge you to contact other local firms before giving us a call.  If you can even get them to quote you a fixed fee over the phone or on their websites (most won’t), you will find that most if not all of them will want to charge you considerably more for the same service.  If they try to tell you that they are really offering more “comprehensive services” or that “you get what you pay for,” just give us a call and we will prove otherwise.  You be the judge.
