Founded in June, 2010, by President and Principal Attorney Stephen R. Elville, J.D., LL.M., Elville and Associates is an estate planning, elder law, and special needs planning practice. It is our mission to provide practical solutions to our clients’ needs through counseling, education, and the use of superior legal-technical knowledge. Education and counseling are the foundations upon which Elville and Associates’ attorneys serves its clients, partners, and surrounding community. The firm counsels its clients based on the core principles of the Elville Legacy System™ -- the six steps to perfect estate planning. Mr. Elville has also developed programs for clients who wish to streamline the planning process but still wish to enjoy the benefits of the educational component throughout, including Elville Self-Direct Select™ and Elville Self-Direct Protect™, a limited-attorney-assistance client education program for estate planning. No matter what planning path our clients choose, Elville and Associates firmly believes in the “planning team concept” – a concept that ensures clients’ attorneys, advisors and CPAs work collaboratively on their behalf during the planning process to provide their family peace of mind and confidence. The attorneys at Elville and Associates work with the top Certified Financial Planners, financial advisors, CPAs and other professionals around the country and work to be a reliable partner to them. Our attorneys frequently offer free educational workshops throughout Maryland. Our attorneys are seasoned speakers and share their knowledge over 100 times each year with the communities we serve about a wide range of topics – from our popular “Estate Planning Essentials” workshops, to others delving into elder law, retirement planning, trust administration, special needs planning, and many more. We look forward to being a resource to you! Visit out site or contact Community Relations Director Jeff Stauffer at jeff@elvilleassociates.com.
