AttorneyMaura Lynch, Esquire

Meet Maura Lynch.

I first discovered the power of advocacy as a force for positive change during my undergraduate years at Loyola College. That calling led me to earn my Juris Doctor from the University of Baltimore School of Law — and to spend the next two decades helping individuals and families navigate life’s most difficult moments, both inside and outside the courtroom.

While I began my legal career in criminal defense and family law, a deeply personal experience shifted my professional focus. When my father — the most intelligent, organized man I know — named me as his Personal Representative, I didn’t fully understand what that would mean. As he slowly disappeared into Alzheimer’s, I was launched into a painful journey that revealed just how complex, emotional, and important estate planning really is. That experience sparked a passion to ensure others don’t have to face the same uncertainty and heartbreak.

Since then, I’ve immersed myself in estate planning — studying through the University of Baltimore, learning from mentors, and guiding clients through the creation of comprehensive plans that protect what matters most. Whether I’m leading a seminar, hosting a webinar, or working one-on-one with clients, I help people prepare for the future with confidence, compassion, and clarity.

Ultimately, I found my way to Z Family Law, a firm whose innovative outlook and collaborative style align with my own beliefs and values. I draw on my experience from twenty years of practice so I can be a real problem solver for my clients, whether they’re creating a legacy of love through estate planning or navigating complex family matters.

In addition to estate planning, I continue to stay active in litigation and take on select family and criminal law cases. My courtroom experience as both a public defender and a prosecutor has shaped my holistic, client-first approach.

I am passionate about giving back to my community, and often speak at local schools to educate teens about the dangers of drugs and alcohol. When I’m not advocating for my clients, you’ll probably find me out on the tennis court, perfecting my serve, or writing.

I’ve already helped so many people create their legacies of love — I look forward to helping many more.
