ABOUT US

Hassani, Focas & Fifer, P.A. is a law firm located in Towson, Maryland focusing on estate planning, elder law, estate and trust administration, and business law. We were established in 1988 by Wilbur C. Jensen and Alexander A. Hassani when they consolidated their separate law practices after working together at a large Baltimore firm.

Jerry D. Focas became a partner in 1995 after years at the firm.

Wilbur Jensen died in 2013 after more than 60 years of law practice.

In our early years, we offered a broad range of legal services. Over time, we narrowed our scope to the niche practice we are today. Our experience in multiple disciplines allows us to offer unique perspectives of the wide-ranging legal issues that often arise in connection with our clients’ planning. Our narrow focus permits us to craft more effective and efficient solutions for our clients.

Our attorneys’ talent and experience means that our clients experience the high-quality, creative, and effective legal services expected at a larger firm. Our small size allows us to develop personalized relationships with our clients and permits us to focus on each client’s individual goals to yield prompt and efficient results in a cost-effective manner. Our attorneys are passionate about our work and committed to developing lasting client relationships.

We enjoy Martindale-Hubble Legal Directory’s top AV rating and our attorneys have over 100 years of combined experience practicing law.
