Truly brilliant. She is admitted in 5 states and had an LLM in tax. Those with higher net worths or complicated tax matters would benefit most.

Being admitted in 5 states is not actually an impressive credential

That wasn't my experience. What did you find sloppy?

I think you’d be very hard pressed to find many attorneys admitted in 5 states. 4 of them required sitting for the bar exam. She waived into dc. I’d actually be surprised if you know any attorneys admitted in those many states.

Are you her mom? It’s great to be proud of your kid but you don’t need to post on a message board for her.

Passing the bar has virtually nothing to do with being able to practice tax law or trust and estates. Sitting for the bar four times is mostly a indication that a person moved around/wasn’t sure where they wanted to practice. It’s necessary if you want to practice in a bunch of states, especially if you don’t have much experience, but to be honest I’d rather my lawyer was practicing law than preparing for another bar exam.

She is wonderful and will come to your home to meet with you (at least pre-pandemic).

She did our wills about 10 years ago and has helped with several updates. She has been very generous with her time when I have had quick questions about how to title property or list insurance policy beneficiaries.

Actually, depending on the order she was admitted, for DC, MI and GA, she could have been admitted based on reciprocity and without sitting for the exam. VA and MD do not have reciprocity with one another. So you might have only sat for 2.

If I really wanted to pursue it, I have an IL license and was admitted on motion to NY. Moved to VA,I could have sought reciprocity from VA and DC based on my IL and NY license, but decided against it as the federal government just requires you to be licensed in 1 state. So, its not as hard as you make it out to be.
