I had a will and trust set up

Setting up a will and trust to me is a very fraught experience because of the association with death and lack of legal knowledge. We were taken through the steps and everything was explained to us, including options, what they would do and what I needed to do, and all questions we had were answered. ...I was pleased with the process and the results.

Completely painless way to feel the future is taken care of

Chris made everything make sense. It took time to get to know me and my situation to be sure I was making sound decisions. He and his staff couldn’t have made this easier. Even with Covid raging, we managed to get the paperwork done safely so I could have peace of mind in this very unsettled ti...me.

Wills, Family Trust and Medical Directive

Mr. Lindsay and his staff provided excellent service to my wife and myself in updating our wills, trusts and medical directives. Mr. Lindsay listened to what we had to say and how we wanted things organized, and guided us through the process of how things should be set up to achieve the goals we want...ed. The staff contacted us to make sure that issues were properly addressed as they created the documents. We were trying to get everything done in a compressed time frame and they worked diligently to successfully accomplish this. We are quite pleased as to how everything turned out.

Estate Planning/ Family Trust

We met Chris Lindsay at a seminar through the Walled Lake Schools and then hired him to redo our existing will. Chris and his team did an excellent job with our Estate Planning, Family Trust, Will and Testament. They are very professional, friendly and helpful and we would recommend Chris without h...esitation to anyone who is in need of an attorney specializing in Elder Law.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
