A conversation with Lena Clark, Owner
Tell us your story!
I am originally from Estonia and moved to the DC metro area in 1999. Despite living so close, I had never visited Frederick until 2014—when I came for a job interview. Three weeks later, I became a resident. A few months after that, I founded the Law Office of Lena A. Clark with a mission to provide compassionate, knowledgeable, and personalized Estate Planning and Probate services.
I have been working exclusively in Trusts and Estates law for almost 21 years, and I am passionate about helping families plan for the future with confidence and peace of mind.
What do you like most about being a business owner in Frederick?
Frederick has an incredible sense of community, and that’s what I love most about being a business owner here. From the moment I arrived, I was drawn to the charm of downtown and the genuine warmth of the people.
Frederick is a place where businesses support one another, and clients appreciate personalized, high-quality service. It’s incredibly rewarding to help local families protect their legacies while being part of a vibrant, close-knit community that values both history and growth.
Why did you join the Chamber?
We joined the Frederick Chamber of Commerce to connect with like-minded professionals, contribute to the community, and enhance the services we offer our clients. The Chamber provides invaluable resources, from networking opportunities to increased business visibility, helping us build relationships and stay engaged with Frederick’s thriving business landscape.
I’m also proud to be a Leadership Frederick Class of 2020 graduate—the longest (and best!) class ever!
How has being a member of the Chamber benefited your business?
The Chamber has been an irreplaceable source of support and connection. Through its programs, we’ve expanded our network, built meaningful relationships, and deepened our ties to the community. The ability to collaborate with other local businesses has helped us grow and better serve the families who rely on us for their Estate Planning needs.
What do you want your business to be known for?
At the Law Office of Lena A. Clark, we believe Estate Planning and Probate are more than just legal services—they’re about providing security, peace of mind, and a lasting legacy.
We understand firsthand how important it is to protect loved ones. I lost my father at just 68 years old—he thought he had plenty of time to plan, but life had other plans. That experience drives our firm’s mission: to educate, guide, and support families before they face a crisis.
We are honored to be a trusted guide in this process, ensuring every client has a plan that protects what matters most.
Looking Ahead
As we celebrate our 10-year milestone, our firm continues to grow! We have 11 full-time employees and are looking to expand our team by hiring two more within the next eight months. We’re excited for what’s ahead and grateful to be part of this amazing community.
