We have used her expert knowledge for one completed living trust and will be finishing a second one soon. She is knowledgeable and professional.

Our Dad hired Linda Nelson Lysne in 2015, and she did such great and thorough work on his Estate Planning, that he returned to her again in October of 2024 to update his Estate Planning. Linda listened to him patiently, understanding exactly what he wanted updated. There were complicated trust requests, and because of Linda's decades of experience and knowledge she was able to advise him of the best way to accomplish his wishes. She completed his updated Estate Planning very quickly and now our Dad has a peace about having all his legal affairs in order. She is also there for us, to help and answer questions we may have in the future. Linda treated our Dad and us like family. We are very BLESSED, GRATEFUL, AND THANKFUL to have Linda Nelson Lysne as our attorney.

I hired Linda to assist in my understanding and execution of duties required by our family trust. Linda has been a true asset for me through this process. Her knowledge and dedication contribute to the success of solving complex estate issues. I highly recommend Linda Lysne without reservation!

I can’t praise Linda enough. Linda is engaging and well-connected. Her CPA certification augments her Estate Law practice. As the Personal Representative of a complex estate, Linda has helped me navigate the legal, financial and emotional journey. I felt secure that I was in good hands. Linda has the gift of connection that is invaluable in Estate Law. For establishing, administering and settling an estate, Linda is priceless.

When I originally contacted Linda, I requested a one hour consultation for trust administration for which she quoted me a price of $370.00. We scheduled that appointment, and I provided her with some documents in advance at her request. She did not inform me that she would be charging me for reviewing them in advance. I did not intend for our meeting to exceed an hour, but she was full of zealous ideas on ways to make a simple trust into a complicated entanglement involving another lawyer friend of hers (who she spent a substantial amount of time with on the phone during my consultation), and other various professionals. She treated the meeting as though I was already her client, and showed no respect for the ticking clock. As such, the meeting lasted an hour and a half. At the one hour mark, she did not make me aware of any additional time charges, although I did realize that we had gone over an hour, and certainly intended to pay her for the additional 1/2 she spent with me, bringing my total to $555.00. So I was quite surprised when she informed me that I owed her $925 for that day, plus the prep work that she had done (that I had not requested). I paid her and left the office with no intention of any further contact. Later that day she emailed me to say she would contact a CPA on my behalf, and then introduce me - a task I have to assume she would bill me for. I immediately emailed her back asking her to cease her work on my case, as I had not signed a contract with her or paid her a retainer, and had not stated any intention to retain her services.

Linda helped my husband and I write our will and accompanying legal documents. There were many complicated issues includig elder care laws but Linda was very knowledgeable explaining the current pros and cons of each decision. We feel we now have the best legal/ asset protection for come what may. If the laws change, then we will contact Linda again.

I was so fearful to approach an attorney. What would happen if I opened a so called-can of worms? This was territory that I had kniw experience with, and how would an attorney assist, and treat me? Ms Lynse is strong, assertive and confident, yet she always included my ideas, and included me every step of the way. Unlike TV where the client is rarely heard, I always knew I could ask questions, and voice support or objections. Excellent human being too.

Our relationship started with a family will for my husband and I. We were so please with her professioalism that when a friend needed a will we suggested that she see Linda. Has it turned out I became my friends trustee and a few months later my friend passed. That was when we found out that the bank failed to complete the transfer of her accounts to a trust. The mgr of the bank came Tony friend home to set everything up. We were told it was completed only to find out the mgr went on leave and the papers were not finished . My friend passes and her accounts were frozen. Linda was wonderful helping us deal with the bank

I hired Linda Nelson Lysne to do my will ensuring that my home would be sure to go to my children, as my ex-husband is still on the mortgage. Being a senior and retired, I had no way to refinance my home, getting his name removed. So Linda went the extra mile and assisted in getting a quit claim deed and a promissory note to my ex, thus removing his name. I now have the peace of mind knowing there will be no complications in the event of my death. I have my power of attorney and end of life issues all settled. I am most grateful for a job well done.

Linda's expertise in elder law and estate planning was incredibly helpful and reassuring. She was patient and kind in answering our numerous questions about the daunting legal terms in setting up our estate. She led us through the process with a depth of knowledge and guidance that we sorely needed. Linda has a wonderful way of being professional while at the same time putting us at ease. I have recommended her to several friends and associates already and will continue to do so. And lastly, I was most impressed by her sense of fairness in the way she handled our client fee.

My parents recently passed away and Linda is handling the settlement of the estate and the necessary probate proceedings. Excellent communication and availability. Calls and emails are promptly responded to and expect to receive top notch professionalism. Most important, compassion and sensitivity in a very difficult time.

Linda updated my mother's POA documentation. My mother is elderly and ill, Linda should her a level of professionalism and concern that is not common in today's world. Thanks Linda.
