About Lynda

Learn Lynda’s areas of practice.

Estate planning is legal knowledge and also an understanding of families and how the probate process actually works. I have drafted  many different types of trusts and understand the difficulties in administration. My documents are created with the understanding that people change and these documents need to stand the test of time. Too many times attorneys create documents that thwart the intentions of the testator. I love my clients. I love  what I do. I look forward to meeting you and helping you create a distribution plan for your heirs.

Probate
We hired this law firm to help us with a probate. She did an excellent job of communicating with all of us. There were some difficult times and Lynda made sure we were all aware of our options.

Trust
I needed a trust for a family situation. I had many concerns. Lynda really understood. She prepared a trust that I could read and my trustee could understand. What a relief to have this done and the cost so reasonable.

She saved me so much money
My business was in need of legal review in order to be sold. Lynda's insight and knowledge of different ways to make the deal happen were amazing.

Lynda did a meticulous job on my estate planning, which is a very complicated situation. She made everything easy for me and my heirs to understand. I certainly would recommend her.
