About Law Offices of Guttenberg & Franklin, LLC

One of Maryland's preeminent trusts and estates practices, offers the level of expertise, creativity and sophistication expected from a large law firm practice.

The Law Offices of Guttenberg & Franklin, LLC, one of Maryland's preeminent trusts and estates practices, offers the level of expertise, creativity and sophistication expected from a large law firm practice. Because of our boutique approach, however, our clients receive the personal attention, insight and skill of a passionate and cutting edge legal team that implements our client's goals effectively and efficiently.

We use our expertise to design and implement efficient, creative and integrated trust estate planning, wealth preservation, business and tax reduction solutions for families and businesses. And, we employ our experience and know-how to assist clients with the administration of estates and trusts in a cost-effective, streamlined and tax-advantageous manner. Through our writing (the authoritative estates and trusts book for professionals - Maryland Estate Planning, Wills and Trusts Library - 3 Volumes) and teaching (faculty, University of Maryland School of Law), we are called upon, as leaders in the trusts and estates field, and as advisors and consultants to Maryland's legal and financial community, to develop new and effective wealth preservation strategies for a changing federal and state gift and estate tax system.

But most of all, we are passionate about our work, and believe in excellence, integrity and innovation. These values translate to superior commitment and service to our clients - who are informed and are guided with wisdom, personal care and attention.

In addition to our main office in Baltimore, we have a satellite office in New York City (at One Penn Plaza) where we handle trust and estate matters for families in New York and New Jersey.

Hired Attorney Aryeh Guttenberg

This is an unbelievable story: A former client of Mr. Guttenberg had him prepare a will in 2008. This client passed away in 2025 while residing in Israel. We desperately needed to find out if he had a will in order to get his joint assets with his wife released to her. After months of trying to find out if there was a Will in existence, we discovered that Mr. Guttenberg had prepare on in 2008. Not only that, he kept an executed copy in his safe for all these years! Upon contacting him from Israel via a telephone call, and forwarding him my POA for the widow he immediately scanned and forward me the copy. The very next day, our Israeli lawyer emailed him requesting he sends the executed copy to us by express delivery. I called him a few hours later and he said it was already being taken care of. I could not believe the service as well as the fact that he still had the executed copy after all of these years!

The lack of responsiveness from one of the attorneys has been incredibly frustrating and unprofessional. It should not routinely take five or six follow-up emails over a several week period to get a reply.

Incredibly poor responsiveness and follow-through from Amanda Franklin. It should not routinely take six or seven follow-up emails to receive a reply. If you are seeking a professional and reliable estate attorney who doesn’t disappear for weeks on end, you should look elsewhere.

Manipulative and disrespectful, he and his lackey showed up at my mother’s funeral despite my clear wishes, after taking advantage of her psychiatric condition for money, to gloat and ambulance chase the mourners. Snake in the grass.
