Testimonials
VERY EXPERIENCED, KNOWLEDGEABLE AND UNDERSTANDING
- 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.

- Linda Lysne. Our relationship started with a family Will for my husband and I. We were so pleased with her professioalism that when a friend needed a Will we suggested that she see Linda. As it turned out I became my friend's 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 manager of the bank came to my friend's home to set everything up. We were told it was completed only to find out the manager went on leave and the papers were not finished. My friend passed and her accounts were frozen. Linda was wonderful helping us deal with the bank. - Barbara
- Excellent. 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. - Joan Pirolo
- Trustworthy/Knowledgeable/Team Player. 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 no experience with, and how would an attorney assist, and treat me? Ms Lysne 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. - Lorrie
- Just what we were looking for! 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. - Kathleen
- Estate Settlement. Living Trust lawyer and 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.
