Lynn is the best!!

Lynn and I worked together on the sale of one her client’s properties that was held in a trust. Properties held in a trust or in probate can be very challenging and working with an attorney that is knowledgeable, helpful and accessible is key. Lynn is one of those attorneys. Not only did Lynn provide... valuable guidance during the sale, she has also been someone I can turn to when I need help on a probate or trust property sale.

Making sure we were prepared to help mom

I met with Lynn as my mother started to have increasing medical issues. Previously, I had not been part of the planning for her old age or passing, and suddenly I needed to be up to speed and able to act when and as needed, because of living the closest. My father had set up a trust properly, but... since he had died twenty years before, much of the other paperwork necessary to help her during her final years was not up to date and we would have been in trouble if we tried to rely on it. Lynn provided a thorough and extremely helpful road map so my family and I could be sure that my mother's medical, financial and legal needs would be met while she was alive, and we'd have a smoother transition once my mother passed as well. Lynn was extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and endlessly patient, so that I would know when and how to act on her advice. I would recommend working with her without hesitation.

My first encounter with attorney Lynn Reiss

I had the pleasure of working long distance with Lynn to handle a very difficult family matter, recently. I can only say that I was amazed by her enthusiasm, efficiency, generosity of spirit and her unending encouragement throughout the legal process. It was my great pleasure to have come in contact... with such a wonderful person . I would not hesitate to recommend her after such a great experience.

Great attorney

"I had some complicated issues come up with a tiny piece of land I inherited in TX. Lynn worked diligently to resolved numerous problems, saved me a ton of money and instead of having to fly to TX she set up a minute conversation with the judge and it was done. I have since recommended her to several... people who have all been thrilled with someone so competent - efficient, prompt and thorough. Check out her brochure on trusts. None better."

Highest of recommendations

Lynn Reiss is amazing. I was executor for my mother's estate and a lawyer I had used for six years decided he was too busy to assist me when my mother passed and I needed to go to court to release a bond and close the trust. Lynn stepped up and handled the case with amazing efficiency. She was sen...sitive and patient with all of my questions and always responded to my calls providing the information I needed. She handled the case as if she had been my lawyer for the previous 6 years. Everything was settled without any further problems. I can't recommend Lynn highly enough. It's a wonderful experience to work with an attorney with heart.
