Legal services, Consultant in Washington, DC
Life & Legacy Counselors is an estate and business planning law firm founded and led by Aimee D. Griffin, Esq., LLM, serving clients across Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia, with additional reach into Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Georgia. The firm's own marketing identifies itself directly as a Black and Women-Owned trusts and estate planning practice serving the Washington, DC area, and Griffin built the firm with a specific mission: to provide exceptional estate and business planning services that protect families, preserve wealth, and promote legacy with intention. The practice covers a broad range of services including estate planning, estate administration, elder services, and business succession planning, and the firm frames its work around the tagline of 'building strong communities, one family at a time.' A recurring theme throughout the firm's materials is a commitment to serving families who are often left out of traditional estate planning conversations, positioning Life & Legacy Counselors as an intentional resource for communities that have historically had less access to wealth preservation and legacy planning tools. Beyond traditional legal services, the firm offers educational programming such as Lunch & Learn events and maintains a 'Personal Board of Directors' concept to help clients build a support network around their planning decisions. The firm's core values are described as faith, excellence, relationships, service, and trustworthiness, reflecting a client-centered, values-driven approach to what can otherwise be a technical and impersonal area of law. Griffin's leadership and the firm's explicit self-identification as a Black and Women-Owned practice make Life & Legacy Counselors a notable example of minority-owned representation within the estate planning and business succession bar in the greater DC region.
