Susan Seidel Tilghman, without due cause, changed my mother's legally prepared DPOA document,…read moreremoving me, and named my mother's long-lost sister and her own self, Susan Seidel Tilghman, as "Alternate" POA. My mother was already a resident in the Gull Creek Valeo memory care unit in Berlin, Maryland with Alzheimer's with Behavioral Disturbance. But attorney Susan Seidel Tilghman faxed over the new documents which the facility then accepted, telling me on my Google review that "legal matters need to be sorted out in the appropriate setting". My mother had prepared her legal DPOA naming me in 2007, which was duly enacted in 2017 when my mother became sick with Dementia/Alzheimer's. Susan Seidel Tilghman, after changing the documents, then waged a campaign of elder abuse/misappropriation of funds lies against me, even though I was fully exonerated by the Berlin Maryland Police Department and the State of Maryland Adult Protective Services. Ultimately, my mother's estranged, disinherited daughter in Utah acquired status as the new(er) DPOA, and then moved my mother out of Maryland 1,000 miles away. To Utah. They prevented me from contact with my mother for no legal reason. In fact, no one notified me while my mother was dying in the hospital for six days. My dear mother died on 12/27/19 in Logan, UT, where she had never lived before being stolen, under false pretenses, from Gull Creek Valeo memory care. My mother ended up under the care and control of her three disinherited, estranged, adult children who had no relationship with her for decades, due to a rift in the family. Attorney Grievance Bar Counsel now has more recent documents to add to the complaint I made to them in 2018. Susan Seidel Tilghman sent my mother to a Cambridge, MD geriatric psychiatrist in June, 2018 after she changed my mother's DPOA in May, 2018 to try to cover herself. I tracked him down to Tucson, Arizona and gave him a piece of my mind. He told me he never intended for yet another POA to be executed. I am coming for them all. Legally.

I'm from Baltimore and I have worked with the Super lawyers in the past. But when it comes eastern…read moreshore I had no idea about the lawyers over there. I called Sally B Gold and referred few lawyers on the eastern shore and that's how I got to know Jill. I was going thru a rough divorce, child custody, lost my best friend in cancer, lost my job, furloughed and few criminal charges filed by my ex-wife. It was a disaster what I was going through and fighting alone against my ex and trying to see my child as an immigrant. From the inception of the case, I saw her emotional intelligence understanding the clients needs vs reality, she explained everything ahead of time and options we have. She always made sure that I'm happy with the decision she is making and willing to put extra work to make you happy of the outcome. I was astoned time to time by seeing her degree of perseverance, accountability, negotiation strategy and skills, good judgement, persuasive skills with the judge in the court room, Knowledge of Substantive Law and Legal Procedures. She was on vacation and in the weekends but she still replied my emails and returned my phone calls. I would have got into real trouble. If someone was representing me. When you hire her she is very committed to her profession and she is always there for you and make sure you come out as flying colors. I'm glad that I get to work with her. You have greater height to go in near future. I wish you all the best "Jill Odierno". Persistence is the virtue. All I can say is "She is my Lincoln Lawyer".

Initial cost was $5000 - which had to be paid out of pocket, up front, and probably was a red flag we ignored. Got hit with another $2000 court fee that I don't remember hearing about, for a total cost of $7000 to file the 6-8 documents that the court required. At nearly $1000 per page of information - which we had to already provide, seems a steep cost for their efforts.
