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.
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 toward 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 is an extremely knowledgeable attorney. She represented our interests aggressively but always kept her eye on the bottom line to make sure that the fees did not get out of control. We highly recommend her.
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.
Ilene drew up a new will for my mother after my father passed away in February. It was thorough and exactly what my mother wanted. Ilene also did a Power of Attorney for me, as my mother needs lots of help with her financial affairs. Our experience with Ilene was pleasant, and she was very professional. I would recommend her to anyone looking for estate planning.
She was thorough and very informative in situations or potentials of which I was previously unaware. She did research on an issue which could have become problematic and presented me with options to solve it, which I appreciated. I felt that she was considerate and understanding of my intent and wishes, but added to that a knowledge base which helped me express them so that they could be backed up legally. It gave me a sense of safety. I would definitely recommend her for estate planning.
She represented my well, kept me informed and did not give an inch where she did not have to. It came down to a very fair and favorable settlement, because she stayed on top of the case and knew her stuff!
I have had legal work done by Ilene Lund, both real estate and estate planning, and was very pleased with the results. She worked through quite a complicated situation involving some difficult personalities, resulting in an agreement. I found Ilene to be extraordinarily bright and highly ethical. She was, at all times, responsive and direct with any concerns I might have had. I would recommend Ilene with no qualifications.
This is a good attorney if you have a small case that can be settled easily and fairly. However I would avoid her in cases that could mushroom out of control. She did not take the offensive when representing my company and I wound up having to file for personal bankruptcy protection simply because when the the opposition figured out she worked alone, they buried her in bogus paperwork causing my fees to reach in excess of 90k in 18 months which cost me my business. She is very ethical and it doesn't take long for her opposition to figure this out and exploit it in their favor. Also by working alone without an official paralegal, one winds up paying full attorney fees for even the most simplistic of tasks.
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.

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 is an extremely knowledgeable attorney. She represented our interests aggressively but always kept her eye on the bottom line to make sure that the fees did not get out of control. We highly recommend her.
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.
Ilene drew up a new will for my mother after my father passed away in February. It was thorough and exactly what my mother wanted. Ilene also did a Power of Attorney for me, as my mother needs lots of help with her financial affairs. Our experience with Ilene was pleasant, and she was very professional. I would recommend her to anyone looking for estate planning.
She was thorough and very informative in situations or potentials of which I was previously unaware. She did research on an issue which could have become problematic and presented me with options to solve it, which I appreciated. I felt that she was considerate and understanding of my intent and wishes, but added to that a knowledge base which helped me express them so that they could be backed up legally. It gave me a sense of safety. I would definitely recommend her for estate planning.
She represented my well, kept me informed and did not give an inch where she did not have to. It came down to a very fair and favorable settlement, because she stayed on top of the case and knew her stuff!
I have had legal work done by Ilene Lund, both real estate and estate planning, and was very pleased with the results. She worked through quite a complicated situation involving some difficult personalities, resulting in an agreement. I found Ilene to be extraordinarily bright and highly ethical. She was, at all times, responsive and direct with any concerns I might have had. I would recommend Ilene with no qualifications.
This is a good attorney if you have a small case that can be settled easily and fairly. However I would avoid her in cases that could mushroom out of control. She did not take the offensive when representing my company and I wound up having to file for personal bankruptcy protection simply because when the the opposition figured out she worked alone, they buried her in bogus paperwork causing my fees to reach in excess of 90k in 18 months which cost me my business. She is very ethical and it doesn't take long for her opposition to figure this out and exploit it in their favor. Also by working alone without an official paralegal, one winds up paying full attorney fees for even the most simplistic of tasks.
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.
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.

She was thorough and very informative in situations or potentials of which I was previously unaware. She did research on an issue which could have become problematic and presented me with options to solve it, which I appreciated. I felt that she was considerate and understanding of my intent and wishes, but added to that a knowledge base which helped me express them so that they could be backed up legally. It gave me a sense of safety. I would definitely recommend her for estate planning.
She represented my well, kept me informed and did not give an inch where she did not have to. It came down to a very fair and favorable settlement, because she stayed on top of the case and knew her stuff!
I have had legal work done by Ilene Lund, both real estate and estate planning, and was very pleased with the results. She worked through quite a complicated situation involving some difficult personalities, resulting in an agreement. I found Ilene to be extraordinarily bright and highly ethical. She was, at all times, responsive and direct with any concerns I might have had. I would recommend Ilene with no qualifications.
This is a good attorney if you have a small case that can be settled easily and fairly. However I would avoid her in cases that could mushroom out of control. She did not take the offensive when representing my company and I wound up having to file for personal bankruptcy protection simply because when the the opposition figured out she worked alone, they buried her in bogus paperwork causing my fees to reach in excess of 90k in 18 months which cost me my business. She is very ethical and it doesn't take long for her opposition to figure this out and exploit it in their favor. Also by working alone without an official paralegal, one winds up paying full attorney fees for even the most simplistic of tasks.
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.
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.
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 toward 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 is an extremely knowledgeable attorney. She represented our interests aggressively but always kept her eye on the bottom line to make sure that the fees did not get out of control. We highly recommend her.
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.
Ilene drew up a new will for my mother after my father passed away in February. It was thorough and exactly what my mother wanted.
