I cannot say enough nice things about Lynn, Tracy and the staff. We needed to redo our trust, living wills and a few other things. Our experience went way beyond our expectations. We interviewed a few other lawyers and there was no comparison. They take away any awkward feelings about end of life planning and make you feel you are talking to a friend rather than a lawyer. My husband, kids and I would give them more than 5 stars if we could.

Lynn Dean and everyone at Season's Law have been a tremendous help to me with a very complicated and delicate situation. Lynn was always available, answered questions quickly, arranged for meetings outside the office, and did so professionally and with a smile. I am not sure how we could have gotten through this without Lynn and company. The entire team gets 5 stars from me!

I live in Davis and heard about Lynn Dean from a man at a charity. I am VERY happy I drove over to see her! She was kind to me and I was fortunate to have her help to update my legal paperwork! I tried to have what I wanted done written out before I got to her office. She picked up very quickly on what needed to be done, asked good questions, and made other changes for me. Chuck in Davis

Happy to recommend Lynn Dean! She has been both knowledgeable and comforting during a difficult time. I am a teacher with a masters, and yet I could not understand my family's trust. Lynn explained all of it and advised me on next steps. Her expertise and compassionate communication skills gave me a sense of relief at the end of our conversation. Lynn also began constructing my own will. It is clear to me that she is a trustworthy and ethical lawyer with plenty of legal and life experience.
All the qualities that I find necessary when dealing with the passing of a loved one and when preparing my will are found in Lynn and her staff. Lynn has surrounded herself with a staff of intelligent, compassionate and friendly people. When necessary, I have spoken with them and am quite please with all of them. Each and every person I spoke with was patient with my minimal knowledge. Lynn is better than the best! The 5 stars allowed by Yelp aren't their ordinary stars. They are brighter!

Thanks to Lynn Dean and her amazing staff, we have finally been able to check off one of the important life task. We did not want our family to be stuck trying to figure out our estate wishes. Today, we can rest knowing our final wished are documented in our Trust. The process of creating a trust was overwhelming but Lynn made it painless. We look forward to working with Lynn and her staff for years to come. If you are looking for an estate attorney, give them a call. I highly recommend Lynn Dean.

Attorney Lynn Dean: Extremely trustworthy, highly qualified and intelligent, kind, efficient, considerate and generous--A rare gem! I don't know how I would have managed without her help and expertise in caring for my elderly parents and their financial, property, and health care matters. She helps makes the world a better place. Eldercare is much more complex, time consuming, worrisome, and difficult than most people realize.all the laws and complex issues, responsibilities, etc. not to mention the emotional stressors. Lynn gives it to you straight, helpful, honest and legal, no hidden agendas. I am so grateful for all her help and advice--I highly recommend Lynn Dean!

I had been taking care of my grandmother and needed some legal services. A discharge planner at Sutter Roseville suggest Lynn Dean to me. I can not express enough how highly I think of this attorney. If you are looking for an honest, ethical, follow up with the details kind of lawyer, this would be your woman! I have since used her for several other matters and I could not be more pleased with the services she has provided!
