Chicago Associate Victoria Cejka was awarded the Illinois Institute of Continuing Legal Education’s Estate Planning Rising Star Award. This award honors talented up-and-coming Illinois attorneys in the field of estate planning whose dedication, innovation, and passion for estate planning set them apart as emerging leaders in the estate planning practice.
The award is presented annually to an Illinois attorney with less than 10 years of experience who demonstrates an exceptional proficiency in essential estate planning knowledge and skills, displays an aptitude for building trusted relationships with clients and applies a forward-thinking approach to estate planning practice, characterized by the integration of cutting-edge strategies and technologies to address the evolving needs of clients in an ever-changing estate planning landscape.
Victoria Cejka advises clients in connection with estate planning and estate and trust administration. Her expertise includes both simple and complex estate planning, charitable giving, tax planning and succession planning. She also represents fiduciaries administering trusts and estates as well as clients petitioning to become guardian of disabled adults and minor children.
She most enjoys assisting individuals and families craft estate plans designed to meet their unique goals and needs—including tax minimization, credit sheltering, special needs planning, and preservation of wealth for future generations. Being licensed in both Illinois and Arizona, Victoria is able to serve her clients across borders.
Recently, Victoria was selected to be a member of Chicago Estate Planning Council (CEPC)’s Emerging Leaders Program—a role in which she was nominated to serve for a two-year term.
