Ilene A. Lund

I really enjoyed working with Ilene on my estate planning and will preparation. She was knowledgable, worked on my timeline not hers, and did everything with both professionalism and a sense of levity that made it... dare I say, a fun process? Nathan Hale famously said "I regret that I have but ...one life to give for my country." Well, I regret that I have but one life to give Ilene to draw up a will for. You have to ask yourself - do you like lawyers? Neither do I. But I like Ilene -- she's the best.

I worked with Ilene on my prenuptial agreement. It was a disaster. Ilene was unable to give me advice without consulting outside sources (other lawyers, accountants, and investors) and charging me for that time. Upon seeking that outside advice and sharing it with me, when I didn't want to take ...it, she refused to represent me. This is after more than $8000 in charges for her time. Most frustratingly, she not only charged me for incidental things (like me emailing to ask for a contract to sign at the start, and charging me for receiving my initial deposit). For example, I wrote her an email that said "I have received the full contract, and your check is in the mail." She wrote back "I love that line"...and I paid .2 hours for her saying that to me. Then another .2 hours for her writing to say "I received your check." Finally, when I received my first bill and added up the hours on it the math wasn't even correct. I was overcharged by .7 hours on the bill simply due to an arithmetic error, not even counting hours that I then disputed with her. These are just a few examples of the terrible work that was done by Ilene Lund. After she refused to sign the finished prenuptial agreement, I went to another lawyer who was able to give me advice (and just charge me .8 of an hour for that time), I did not take the advice and moved forward the way that the prenupt was written, that lawyer took the time to reexplain the prenupt to me, and then he charged me for time spent with that and the actual signing. Voila! Instant success with a lawyer who did not charge me for receiving my check, was able to actually give me advice without charging more than his time, and stuck with me after I stated what I wanted against his advice but demonstrated that I understood the binding contract. Everything Ilene should have done, especially after spending more that $8000 on her "services" already.

Ilene Lund is simply awesome! My long-term partner and I just married, and Ilene led the efforts for our planned property investments and personal assets. Ilene is top-notch for sure as she not only remains current on Federal, State and Local rules, but overtly provides input and rationale towa...rd the rulemaking process. She is ahead of her peers with knowledge and currency; dissects information beyond a synthesis level, prepares for potential impacts, and all of which best serves the unique needs of her client. I strongly recommend Ilene Lund for providing legal support regarding your property and personal investments. And, you'll enjoy the journey with lots of humor and peace. Bravo to Ilene!

Ilene Lund provided gudiance for me as the executor of an estate. The estate involved major donations, house sales and dispersion of assets to numerous beneficiaries. She was extremely helpful, always prompt and her advise proved valuable. Ilene made my job easy and I am extremely thankful for her... help. You can't go wrong with Ilene.
