About C&O Law Group, LLC Estate Planning & Business Attorneys in Rockville, MD and the DMV

About C&O Law Group

We chose this work because of the moments it involves. Probate, estate planning, civil litigation — these are the decisions families face after a loss, the plans business owners finally sit down to make, the arrangements that determine what happens to everything someone spent decades building. Those moments deserve more than efficient paperwork. They deserve attorneys who are genuinely present for them.

For more than thirty years, the DMV has been home. The families and courts and communities across Maryland, D.C., and Virginia are ones we know well and serve with that same investment. C&O Law Group exists because people in this region deserve clear, honest legal counsel from someone who treats their situation as the serious and personal matter it is.

Our approach is simple: we take the time to understand what you are actually protecting before we start building a plan around it. You will leave every conversation knowing where you stand and what your options are. Not sold on a package. Not handed off to someone else. Just a straight answer from the attorney you came to see.

Take the next step with confidence.

Attorneys who handle your matter directly

When you work with C&O Law Group, you work with the attorney drafting your plan or handling your case, not a paralegal you never meet. Our team brings focused experience in the areas where DMV families and businesses most often need counsel.

Natalija Stamenkovic, attorney at C&O Law Group
Natalija Stamenkovic
Attorney, Founder & Managing Partner

Natalija founded C&O because she kept seeing families face the hardest moments of their lives without a real advocate in their corner. She does this work because she genuinely enjoys helping people through those moments, and clients tell her that her calm, compassionate approach makes them feel heard. The DMV has been her home for over thirty years. These are her courts, her communities, her neighbors.

Chris Thompson, attorney at C&O Law Group
Chris Thompson
Attorney, Senior Counsel

Thirty years of practice, and the same through line across all of it: steady, careful counsel for people in situations that feel anything but steady. Chris works with Virginia clients on estate planning, business, and bankruptcy matters, and a career spent advising governments on high stakes commercial reform shaped an attorney who does not rattle easily. If you want someone experienced and genuinely invested in the outcome, he is who you want in your corner.

Shibani Shah, attorney at C&O Law Group
Shibani Shah
Attorney, Senior Counsel

Shibani started at one of Washington's most respected firms doing high stakes litigation, and she brings that same rigor to estate planning, probate, and business matters that affect people's families and futures. She does not treat estate planning as a form filling exercise. She is direct, thorough, and easy to talk to, which makes her a good fit for D.C. clients who want both analytical depth and personal attention.

What Makes C&O Law Group different?
A Firm Built Around Long-Term Relationships.

You work with the attorney you hire. No intake coordinators, no associates handed your file. The attorney you meet in your consultation is the attorney who does your work.

We practice across three jurisdictions — on purpose. Many DMV clients live in Maryland, work in D.C., and own property in Virginia. We're licensed in all three and build plans that hold up across state lines.

We explain your options before you sign anything. Your first consultation is a conversation about what makes sense for your situation, it's not a pitch for a package. You'll leave knowing your options, whatever you decide.

Let's talk.

If you've read this far, you probably have something on your mind. The next step is a conversation. No paperwork, no obligation, just a clear explanation of where you stand and what your options are.

Our office is in Rockville, on South Washington Street, and we work with clients across Maryland, D.C., and Virginia. Whenever you're ready, we're here.
