ATTORNEY SANDRA M. HOLT

Attorney Sandra Holt specializes in estate planning, offering expert guidance in Wills and Estates to ensure her clients’ legacies are secured. With a deep understanding of the complexities surrounding estate planning to include the emotion involved, she ensures that every client receives personalized and strategic advice to protect their assets for future generations. Her practice not only encompasses the essentials of estate law but also integrates her extensive knowledge of real estate, benefiting from her dual licensure as a real estate broker and holder of a Maryland Home Improvement Commission (MHIC) license. This unique combination allows her to offer unparalleled counsel on real estate aspects of estate planning.

Before establishing herself as a leading estate planning attorney, Ms. Holt made significant contributions as in-house corporate counsel, drafting legislation and municipal ordinances for a well-respected Maryland corporation.

Attorney Holt served as the Berman Research Fellow for the Environmental Law Department at the University of Maryland  School of Law as the sole fellow at the school. Her tenure as a judicial law clerk for the Honorable Gerald P. Federoff in New Orleans, LA, further honed her legal research and writing skills.

Dedicated to social justice, Ms. Holt’s practice consistently includes providing legal aid to low-income clients which has earned her recognition in the MD State Bar Association’s magazine in a feature titled “A Commitment to Pro Bono Excellence and Community Service.” Her community involvement was recognized in 2006 when she was appointed by County Executive Ken Ulman as a Commissioner on the Human Rights Commission for Howard County, underscoring her commitment to justice and
equality.

Beyond her legal achievements, Attorney Holt is a vibrant community leader. In her role on the Board of VolunTeens (www.volunteensco.com), she inspires and mentors high school volunteers, creating and leading several impactful community projects annually. Her initiative in teaching NICU nurses and volunteers to knit hats for newborns at Johns Hopkins Hospital showcases her compassionate spirit. As a mainstay at the Columbia Community Care food pantry, she is renowned for her dedication to supporting food-insecure residents. Further reflecting her diverse talents and commitment to service, Attorney Holt proudly serves as a Trustee for the AWS Foundation for the protection of animals, emphasizing her broad scope of influence and dedication to various causes.
