Thorough and Compassionate

We were very pleased with our selection of Christopher Lindsay as the attorney for our estate planning. During our initial visit, Mr. Lindsay was relaxed, patient and made sure that we fully understood the process of estate planning, maintenance and execution. We never felt rushed or pressured. Mr. ...Lindsay fully understands the concerns of those caring for a special needs loved one and included a special needs trust fund for our son into our plan. It was a pleasure to work with him and his office staff, and the cost of our plan was what we expected. We are very happy to have found Mr. Lindsay and recommend him 100%.

Creation of my Trust

Mr. Lindsay was excellent in explaining all that I needed to know and do in order to create my Trust. He was knowledgeable, patient with all my questions, and took care of setting everything up on a timely basis.

Estate Planning

Mr. Lindsay created our Estate Plan in 2009 and updated it this year to allow for life changes since the original plan was created. My wife and I are very pleased with Mr. Lindsay's professionalism.

Mr. Jim Stanisz

Mr. Lindsay, Shelly, and Kim were very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Mr. Lindsay took all our family documents (house deeds, bank statements, 401K accounts, etc) and altered our trust based on our wishes, documents, and his elder law knowledge. He suggested many refinements to our trust....

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
