Ethical, Helpful, and Efficient

I contacted Lynn to help my mother and me plan for the handling of her health and estate. The thing that struck me most about Lynn is that she guided us to the most effective solutions--not the ones that could have resulted in the most hours billed. My need was great and I would have followed her cou...nsel without too much concern for the time it took. However, she completely understood what we needed to do and chose the most expeditious path to completion. I am very grateful (and relieved that we landed exactly where we needed to be... and just in time.) Thank you to Lynn and her team!

Wisdom and a Lifelong experience

I met Lynn Aust, Esq about 10 years ago, I was immediately taken by her ample knowledge of world facts in addition to the practical and necessary aspects of Estate Planning. She did a superb job on the initial setup of my revocable trust in 2013. Her input and suggestions produced the final edition I... needed at that time. Thereafter, as life events generate change, Lynn amended the trust on two additional occasions; the most recent just a few weeks ago. Moreover, in 2014, I contracted the services of Ms. Aust again, this time to manage contractual issues with several peers all members of a partnership. Again, her stellar performance resolved many issues and her vision for the future has proven that her experience and wisdom once again were right on target. Her staff is attentive and always very helpful, the fees are reasonable and in line with that of other attorneys with similar specialization. Lastly, what makes a huge difference to me well beyond the accolades is that---I trust her!!!

Posted by anonymous | April 06, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Guardianship

Unsatisfactory Performance!

I hired her in April of 2019 for a guardianship case. I made it clear from day one that my goal is to keep my mother safe and was seeking guardianship of my mother. She assured me she would do the best in her legal capacity. Well long story short she charged me an excessive fee for the work completed... and attempted to cripple my faith saying she does not think it would be possible for me to acquire guardianship. I have worked with numerous attorneys in my life and this type of behavior and unprofessionalism is totally unacceptable. I urge anyone seeking Guardianship for a loved one to do your research and read the reviews and take your time in choosing a guardianship lawyer. I did hire another Guardianship Lawyer and was awarded Guardianship of my dear mother.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
