Excellent services. Very thorough and helpful in all of our planning.

They took there time to ensure I understood what they were talking about.

Very professional and thorough. A much better experience than I had with a previous lawyer that set up our initial trust.

Working with Chris and his team was really quite easy. I had thought the process to get a trust and all the other applicable document would have been much worse.

We were very pleased with the whole experience. Everyone we dealt with made what isn't a desirable task a pleasant experience. Made me wonder why I procrastinated for 3 years.

Nothing but top notch service. Shelly was especially helpful, and patient, knowledgeable. Chris, our attorney was very helpful. I would have given 10 stars if I could. Have the clients best interests in mind.

Chris Lindsay is very knowledgeable and took the time to walk us through all the steps of our estate plan. Excellent service!

We contacted EPEL to help us with our living trust. From the minute we began the process to the final signing we encountered friendly, knowlegable and professional staff every step of the way. We would highly recommend EPEL to all.

I attended the initial meeting with my parents to set up a Trust. The process went very smoothly and I am glad I got to experience it because now I know what I need to do. We only met with Christopher Lindsay 1 time, but he was so nice and genuine and you can tell he loves helping people through this. Shelly was our Paralegal, we met with her for the signing...what can I say about her...She's my spirit animal :). Absolutely loved her. And Brenda...she is absolutely adorable. So polite and accommodating. I highly recommend Estate Planning & Elder Law Services for all your estate planning needs.

We had our trust and estate planning documents restated. Very pleased, would definitely recommend.

Lisa Beatty went above and beyond during our initial phone consultation. She took the time to ensure my understanding of complex matters. She was honest regarding the services that would be helpful for my mother with dementia and those that would not. If you're seeking a knowledgeable, professional and down to earth attorney, contact Lisa. You will be glad you did!

Very knowledgeable on estate planning in Michigan, and very easy to deal with. I would recommend with no reservations.

We had an initial consultation with Lisa Beatty for our mother in law. Though we live in Georgia, our mother in law is a Michigan resident and Lisa set up a Zoom/phone call to explain our options for Estate Planning and Medicaid assistance. After owning my small business and founding a non profit, working with knowledgable attorneys is a must. Lisa is fantastic. She spent time explaining (in detail) the Medicaid planning and Estate planning for our mother in law. We will recommend her to our mother in law for her Estate planning needs.

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 hestitate to recommend him. Update: In 2024 we consolidated into a new family trust. As always we received excellent advice, the preparation was thorough and instructions to fund the trust were clear. They even coordinated with our investment management firm to update the beneficiary name to the new trust across our accounts.

We felt very comfortable working with the folks at Estate Planning & Elder Care. Good solid advice, no pressure to sign up for unnecessary services. All Good!

For most people, working on a will or trust is a scary experience. For my husband and I, it was a thoughtful and pleasant event. The pre-visit questionnaire helped us focus on what we wanted our trust to look like. All of the personnel were friendly and professional. We walked out with a document that meets our needs and with all of our questions answered. We highly recommend Estate Planning & Elder Law Services.

Chris and his staff has assisted us with two estate planning matters in the past year. Always prepared, efficient and professional. Highly recommended.

The whole team was very knowledgeable they explained options including all the pluses an minuses helping us decide what fit us best. There was never any sales pressure. Very pleased with our results.

This is an excellent firm to work with. They are all very professional and informative. I really appreciate the kindness that they showed my wife who had major communication problems and how wonderful they were to me after her death. I would recommend them to everyone.

This spring Christopher Lindsay and his team helped my dad create a trust. I accompanied my dad in the process, and it was smooth and straightforward. I highly recommend Christopher Lindsay as he has the years of experience plus resources to ask the right questions and create a protected trust. Do yourself (and family) a favor and schedule an appointment to see what is best for you at Estate Planning and Elder Law Services.

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.

I was not very organized with my estate planning. Chris and his team provided a nice checklist of documents to get me started.Meeting with Chris and Shelly went very well as both were well prepared and able to easily explain the process and expectations. The overall experience was very useful for myself, as well as, my family to know and understand my wishes for the future as it unfolds. I gladly recommend their services to any others whom might need estate planning!

We looked into 3 other Legal Estate Planning firms before we decide on Estate Planning & Elder Law. The people there have been very responsive, friendly and great to work with. We felt that they listened to us and addressed all our concerns. They were very thorough and upfront with information. Other people we know spoke very highly of Christopher and we agree. We highly recommend them.

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.

I highly recommend working with Estate Planning and Elder Law Services. They helped me throughout the complicated process of preparing these important papers, and explained everything to me in language that I could understand. They took time to answer all my questions - I never felt rushed. The staff was responsive to my phone calls. Also the pricing was fair, and much less than my previous experience in another state, where I was charged 3 times as much for shoddy work. I think that everyone needs to get their affairs in order, because it provides you with peace of mind during your life, knowing that you have done everything for your heirs in the event of death. You can't go wrong with Estate Planning.

Chris was very knowledgeable and experienced, an expert in his field. His staff was friendly and efficient...so glad we decided to find a specialist vs. a general attorney.

My husband and I are growing older and wanted to be prepared if anything were to happen to one or both of us. We attended an estate planning class taught by Christopher Lindsey and found it so informative and helpful, we decided to use his firm to set up a trust, prepare a will, and set up medical and legal powers of attorney.

The firm made the process very easy. It was very easy to schedule our meetings and the administrative assistant Brenda was so helpful and extremely professional and courteous. We had two meetings with Christopher, first to discuss our wishes and then to review the documents and discuss next steps. We were given the option to meet either in person in their Ann Arbor office space or via Zoom. We had one additional meeting with paralegal Melanie in person so we could sign all the documents. After signing we were sent an electronic copy of all the documents and also received a notebook with print copies.

We are very happy with our experience with Estate Planning & Elder Law Services and recommend the firm without reservation.

Chris and his staff were attentive to our needs and took the time to explain each step in the process. If your looking for honesty, expertise and a personalized recommendations, I highly recommend Estate Planning and Elder Law Services.

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.
