Bethesda Estate Planning Lawyer
Overview
Krista Robertson is an associate at Chisholm Law Group, LLC where she practices in the areas of estate planning, estate and trust administration, and adult guardianships. Krista relies on nearly a decade of experience as an estates and trusts attorney to anticipate legal and practical issues that may arise during the probate process, estate administration, or trust administration.
Krista works with estate planning clients of all backgrounds, regardless of family structure or economic status to assist them in achieving their estate planning objectives. Her early legal experience as a family law attorney provides her with additional insight into planning concerns arising from divorce, prenuptial agreements, post-nuptial agreements, and separation agreements. She advises families in all configurations to find appropriate solutions to ensure her clients’ children, significant others, and assets are adequately protected.
Krista’s years of experience as a staff attorney for the District of Columbia Superior Court Probate Division allow her to lead clients through the more challenging aspects of serving as an executor, personal representative, or trustee, or who is a beneficiary of a trust or estate, with clear, practical, and understandable advice.
As an adult guardianship attorney, Krista understands the needs of not only adults who need assistance with daily living, their finances, or health care, but also the needs and concerns of the family members and friends who care for the adult’s overall well-being. Krista can guide clients through the process of seeking guardianship of an adult in a way that is respectful of the logistical and emotional challenges posed by the process.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
