Client Reviews
Thanks again Chris for preparing our Ladybird deed and related documents. We really appreciated your knowledge, expertise, and professionalism. I will happily refer you to those who require estate planning services.
Chris was extremely knowlegable, and a wonderful communicator about setting up an estate plan. He was well organized, and presented the materials in a straight forward manner, devoid of legalese. He answered our questions without equivocating, and offered examples to illustrate. I am happy to recommend him, without reservations, to family and friends in need of such services.
We attended one of Chris' Educational Seminars and found him very knowledgeable about wills and trust. He provided us a way to manage our estate in ways we did not think of. The process was very smooth and he went the extra step to help up start to fund the trust we set up. We would highly recommend him.
I have used Chris Lindsay for several years to establish plans for myself, my husband and my mother. I find Chris to be extremely knowledgeable and when faced with an issue he does not handle, he has always referred me to a very excellent source.
Chris always has his clients interest at heart as evidenced when my mother was making changes to her estate plan. He made sure she wanted the changes and wasn't being coerced by her children. I really respect him for that.
I would and have recommended Chris and his firm to anyone requiring his type of service. I must not forget his staff who have always been very kind and helpful.
Christopher reviewed our current wills and power of attorney and patient advocate documents .He also addressed a number of questions we had. His recommendation was to draft new wills and a trust document which we had him do.He was very efficient , thorough, and easy to work with and talk to. We are very satisfied with the results and highly recommend others use his services.
Beginning in 2002 with a referral from a lawyer friend of ours, my wife and I did our trusts. Since then, we have revised them, arranged for him to do my in-laws' trusts and recently had my mother's done. Mr. Lindsay has been easy to deal with, prompt, friendly and accurate each time. I would not hesitate to recommend him.
Chris Lindsay and the entire team at Estate Planning & Elder Law Services are an invaluable resource. Chris has prepared trust and other legal documents for myself and my family, as well as many clients in need of Estate Planning documents, Medicare planning or Veteran’s benefits planning. Having worked with many attorneys during my career, I can say with certainty that Chris' expertise and level of benevolence is second to none.
I have been receiving estate guidance fro m Estate Planning Services since 2002. I definitely rate my experiences over this time span as 5 Stars. They consistently have provided very thorough advice which considers my personal circumstances in concert with the legal parameters of estate planning and the interface with state and federal tax laws. I value their services very highly.
In working with the various employees of the firm, I have been consistently impressed with their professional competency.
Chris Lindsay and his staff have for numerous years handled several different estate planning instruments for us as well as our legal medical needs (HIPAA, Powers of Patient Advocate, etc.). In all cases, we have been and continue to be extremely satisfied with their professionalism, attentiveness, and the confidence they provide us.

Chris Lindsay was very professional, thorough and helpful setting up our Trust and estate plans. He was easy to talk to and explained things in a way that was easily understood. We would highly recommend him.
I met with Chris for advice on protecting my assets and avoiding costs associated with the probate process. I also needed a guarantee that my health care directives would be followed should I not be able to make those decisions on my own. After sitting with Chris for a short time I knew I had found the person who could walk me through the steps needed to assure my wishes were followed. I found Chris to be patient, detailed and knowledgeable. With just two appointments my Trust was developed and put in place. I now have confidence that my future medical needs will be met and my financial directives will be followed.
We were very pleased to work with attorney Christopher Lindsay at Estate Planning & Elder Law Services. He and his entire staff are professional and compassionate.

The staff were very accommodating and professional. I was confident Mr. Lindsay, Attorney was acting on my behalf. The paperwork was handled efficiently and effortlessly. And his paralegal's explanations and understanding made it simple.
My husband and I highly recommend Estate Planning & Elder Law Services. We initially met with Christopher Lindsay, Attorney, who clearly explained our options for estate planning. We chose to create a Family Trust, and Mr. Lindsay efficiently and professionally gathered all of our information to do that. He was very patient with us and answered all of our questions. After he and his staff had created the documents we needed to sign, we met with Margaret M. Lindauer, Attorney to accomplish that. Margaret came to our meeting fully prepared. As she guided us through the documents in the Trust, she answered all of our questions clearly and concisely. She then explained the next steps we needed to take to fund the Trust. Throughout this whole process Margaret was very knowledgeable, professional, patient, and friendly. We left feeling like a great weight had been lifted from our shoulders, knowing that upon our demise, our assets would be distributed according to our wishes.
Margaret has been amazing in walking me through an incredibly difficult time. She has made the probate and estate-planning process easy to understand. She's been incredibly accommodating with my schedule and 4 year old son. She's knowledgeable, professional and kind. I highly recommend working with her. The staff in the rest of the office also seem wonderful, though I haven't had much interaction other than helping to entertain my son.
