Lindsey Chaney

Owner & Attorney, Chaney Counsel | Estate Planning, Special Needs Planning, & Trust Administration Attorney Serving Southern California

Planning With Heart. Protecting What Matters.

Lindsey Chaney is the owner and attorney of Chaney Counsel, where she helps individuals and families navigate estate planning, special needs planning, probate, and trust administration with compassion, clarity, and purpose. Her approach is rooted in the belief that exceptional legal representation is about more than documents and procedures – it is about making clients feel supported, informed, and genuinely cared for throughout the process.

Before becoming an attorney, Lindsey spent years working in corporate human resources and client relations, where she developed a deep appreciation for the importance of communication, responsiveness, empathy, and delivering an exceptional client experience. Those values continue to shape every aspect of her practice today. She is committed to creating a law firm experience that feels approachable, personal, and grounded in trust.

Lindsey’s passion for helping families was also shaped by her personal experiences navigating disability-related systems and long-term planning considerations within her own family. Those experiences gave her firsthand insight into the emotional and practical challenges many caregivers face and reinforced her desire to help families plan for the future with greater confidence and peace of mind.

Motivated by that purpose, Lindsey earned her Juris Doctor from Mitchell Hamline School of Law, graduating Magna Cum Laude. She later gained valuable courtroom and litigation experience before focusing her practice on estate planning and family-centered legal services.

Today, Lindsey works closely with clients throughout Los Angeles County, Ventura County, and surrounding Southern California communities. Through her “Planning with Heart” philosophy, she is committed to helping families protect what matters most with thoughtful planning, compassionate guidance, and trusted legal support.
