Shanise-Evans - Estate Planning lawyer in Lake Forest, Illinois

I am a true advocate for my clients, their families and their businesses. I help them achieve their goals and I tirelessly pursue and offer solutions that give them peace of mind now...and for the future. I help them plan for LIFE and LEGACY.. With over 21 years of experience, I take seriously my role not only as an Attorney, but as a Counselor at Law. I LISTEN intently to my clients---noting their wishes, goals and dreams. It is only at this point that I then guide clients through a myriad of financial and legal decisions to enable them to effectively plan for their families and reach their goals. I assist clients with estate planning, including family protection, wealth preservation, charitable gift planning and values-based planning, as well as planning strategies for unmarried couples and divorced individuals. In addition, as a business owner myself, I also combine my legal expertise and acute business acumen to assist my clients in planning for the creation, growth and success of their businesses and nonprofits.
