Lindsay Spiller

"I have been a sports agent, an entrepreneur, a sailor, a musician, a teacher, and a lawyer. Each experience has taught me much about myself and about others. I learned that we all face adversity and challenges from time to time and that, when we do, having a good friend and trusted advisor at our side can give us profound peace of mind.

In my practice, I try to be that 'good friend and trusted advisor' to my clients, to help them meet and overcome the challenges facing them. Whether I am advising a couple creating an estate plan, a first-time film producer, an established business, or a startup entrepreneur, my motivation is the same --- to serve them with an attitude of love, optimism, creativity, compassion, and dedication.

This approach has made all the difference in my clients' experiences and has given me great personal and professional satisfaction."
