Chuhak & Tecson, P.C. is proud to announce that principal Lindsey Markus, leader of the firm’s 25-attorney Estate Planning & Asset Protection group, has been included in the 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in America®for Trusts and Estates.
Best Lawyers is an elite global network of legal professionals recognized through trusted, peer-reviewed distinction. Each year, more than 20 million confidential evaluations are collected worldwide, contributing to one of the legal industry’s most rigorous and trusted vetting processes. Only about 5% of lawyers in the United States and 3% globally are recognized, reflecting the selectivity and credibility of the results.
Christina Mermigas, a fellow principal in Chuhak & Tecson’s Estate Planning & Asset Protection group who has worked closely with Markus for years, said the honor was both well-deserved and unsurprising.
“Lindsey is one of those lawyers who is not only exceptional in the sense of her knowledge, experience and abilities, but also in the lengths she will go to in order to take care of her clients and her personal investment in their well-being,” Mermigas says. “One example of how deeply she cares about her work and her clients is her request for a family photo as part of her intake process, so she and our team have a constant reminder of the lives and loved ones who count on our efforts. She serves as an inspiration and example for the rest of us on the team.”
In her nationwide practice, Markus works closely with business owners and families to plan their estates, protect assets, transfer wealth and reduce tax liabilities. She also guides clients in formulating succession plans and advises on business formation to maximize wealth preservation and minimize gift and estate taxes. Markus is a frequent media guest, writer and speaker on estate planning and wealth protection matters. Notably, she is the author of A Gift For The Future – Conversations About Estate Planning. Published in April 2022, the book quickly became a #1 Best Seller on Amazon in Legal Self-Help and a #1 New Release in several categories. She has also spearheaded an impressive array of client education, marketing, professional development and philanthropic initiatives at the firm and in other endeavors.
