I had the opportunity to work with Mr Lynne and was floored by his level of professionalism and commitment. He was a pleasure to speak with and always made us feel as if we were his only client at the time. There is a reason Mr Lynne is considered one of the best in the field and I would 100% recommend his services.

"I endorse Jeff. Jeff and I have worked on many land use matters where we were on opposing sides and Jeff zealously represented his client, but was always fair, professional, and courteous to me. Jeff is very knowledgeable and is well known for his expertise in the areas of land use law, Fair Housing, and the Americans with Disabilities Act and is a frequent lecturer on these topics. Jeff and I sometimes bounce ideas off of each other to determine in advance what "the other side" might think. I value Jeff's opinion.
