The process of starting a new business can be quite overwhelming, especially for someone with no prior business training or experience. Luckily I was able to work with Lindsey during the formation of my LLC. She clearly explained the financial and legal ramifications associated with different business entities, allowing me to devise a personalized business plan that provided maximal asset protection. Her expertise and professionalism allowed me to focus on building clientele and getting my business off the ground.
Lindsey handled all my estate planning, will, trust, etc. From consultation to final document execution, Lindsey was extremely professional and showed excellent follow up. Her dual MA and Law Degree are impressive but more important are the people skills she possesses when working with clients on such an important matter as estate planning. I sleep much better at night knowing I am covered and most importantly my son's future is in good hands in the event something were to happen to me. Lindsey receives my highest endorsement if any of you are looking for estate planning consultant.
Lindsey is an excellent estate planning attorney. We were extremely pleased with the work Lindsey performed for us and we found her to be intelligent, professional and extremely personable. We would highly recommend Lindsey to anyone looking for an attorney. Dave & Phyllis S., Mokena, IL
Lindsey P. Markus helped us complete our estate planning documents and is very thorough, easy to work with and timely. The work that Lindsey did reached a higher standard. We commend her for her work and would be happy to recommend her to our family and friends. We have such peace of mind now, and we feel grateful to have Lindsey who cares as much as we do about our estate. John and Julie Sullivan
I had no intention of creating an estate plan. I am a simple man with one concern . . . taking care of my family. I had a basic will, and didn't see the need to complicate matters. However, Lindsey explained how and why my beneficiaries would save time and money with regards to legal costs, paper work, and tax saving benefits if I had a living trust. It made sense, and she was very easy to work with. She handled all the paper work, and walked me through every decision that needed to be made, even with regards to my dog. Its nice to know that my kids will benefit from my assets without having to pay excessive costs to the government. Everyone should have the pleasure of working with a patient and understanding estate attorney such as Lindsey.
