Areas of Focus: Kids Protection Planning, Life and Legacy Planning
Licensed States: Maryland
My name is Sahmra A. Stevenson, Esq., and I am the founder and CEO of S.A. Stevenson Law Offices, Wills On Wheels Inc., and Office Without Walls®. I began creating my brand and line of businesses in 2015 with my law office where I was focused on fighting for happy families and the rights of struggling fathers looking for advocacy in custody matters.
My practice has grown to include additional practice areas including estate planning and business law and formation. I now serve as both an attorney and coach to my clients. My goal with every client is to help them feel empowered and freer as they navigate their legal and/or business issues.
When I started my practice, I found it necessary to put my quality of life and my own personal health first. For me, travel is like my medicine and I needed to be able to successfully run a business while having the freedom to get away from home and see the world. That was when my Office Without Walls® was born.
I used my interest in technology and innovative software to fuel my endeavor and ever since I have been a staunch advocate for the use of technology in the legal industry, pushing other attorneys to create more balanced lifestyles and access to justice opportunities for their clients. You can follow my adventures and posts about creating a balanced lifestyle on Instagram (https://www.instagram/OfficeWithoutWalls and https://www.instagram/SASFitPractice).
In 2016, I launched Wills On Wheels, Inc., the first and only mobile and virtual estate planning business model in Maryland. My mission was to close gaps in access to these types of legal services by not only going to the client but changing the narrative around the concept of what estate planning is and who it is for.
We have grown tremendously and now serve hundreds of clients each year, assisting with life planning, incapacity planning, and even succession and emergency planning for business owners. In 2019, my brand expanded to include Office Without Walls® Virtual Office Solutions, and SASFitPractice. I now offer an online course, seminars, and training on the art of remote business operations, paperless practices, and remote team management, amongst other topics.
I have received a few recognitions, awards, and accolades along the way, including an induction into the Maryland Bar Foundation in 2014. I have also been recognized as a Rising Star by Super Lawyers for both Maryland and the District of Columbia every year since 2016.
In 2021, I was recognized as a top Super Lawyer and appeared on the cover of the Super Lawyers Magazine. The Super Lawyers list recognizes no more than 2.5 percent of attorneys in each state. I currently serve as Co-Chair of the American Bar Association Family Law Litigation Committee.
“It was a pleasure to be able to have Ms. Sahmara Stevenson complete the will for our family. Her level of professionalism is at the high peak that can be expected. She was efficient, knowledgeable, and thorough. She came prepared to complete her business. I appreciated the way she was able to help my family understand the reasoning(s) for the different variables involved in the process. Thank you so much for your patience. Thank you so much.”
“S.A. Stevenson Law Offices was great in preparing my granddad’s Trust. Very informative, responsive and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. The best part of the process was that they traveled to us and it saved my family time commuting in 90 plus degree weather. I would definitely recommend their services to other families.”
“I’m so grateful for having Sahmra guide me through this process, she was patient but professional, and took the time to listen and explain issues to me that were difficult to deal with. I also think that the fact that she comes to your home for the final signing of documents, adds a person touch to can be a very sterile and frightening process when done in an office. I don’t know if this was a reaction due to the pandemic, but I wouldn’t have wanted to do it any other way. I also feel a great sense of relief to know that she will be there whenever I need her, as many cannot afford to keep a lawyer on a retainer, so hers is indeed a truly worthy and honorable service that she provides to her community, and the greater community at large. I have begun telling all my friends about the service she provides.”
“My experience was seamless and so simple. I appreciate the attention to detail, and the convenience (Atty Stevenson traveled to my home so that I could sign my documentation). Although preparing a will seems like such a somber task, the simple process made it much lighter. Thank you and your staff for an amazing experience.”
We begin with a comprehensive inventory of everything you own, and everyone you love, and consider it all in a working meeting, called a Family Wealth Planning Session, to guide you to clarify your financial life and legacy goals before we draft a single document.
We work with you throughout every life stage to map out the most likely scenarios for you and the people you love, planning for each as your life, the law, and your assets change over time.
Our Life & Legacy Planning process ensures everything that matters most -- from your financial assets to your values, insights, stories and experience -- are captured and documented during your life and cared for over the generations to come.
Transparency in our process, and our fees … all of which are flat fees, agreed to in advance, based on your choices and with no surprises, ensuring we stay on the same side of the table - supporting you to make a lifetime of great decisions - every step of the way.
Our systems help you get clear and organized, overcoming the exact issues that keep most estate plans from actually working when they are needed most. We help you leave your family with a gift of love, and not a mess.
One-and-done estate plans focused only on money are a recipe for a big mess. We help you throughout every stage of life and be there for the people you love, when you can’t be.
