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....
