Divorce

I was referred to Lindsey during a very difficult and unexpected time in my life and I feel very fortunate that she was able to take my case. Her communication was prompt and clear and she was able to answer all my questions giving me much more confidence and security. With Lindsey I felt like I had ...someone on my side. She was able to help me negotiate and achieve a fair and favorable outcome for me and my family. I highly recommend reaching out to Lindsey for a consultation.

A Lifesaver

Lindsey was a lifesaver in the process of my divorce. The whole process seemed so overwhelming at first. Lindsey made sure to always explain things, put things into perspective, and helped to make me feel safe and supported with her legal expertise and professional manner. She also listened wholehear...tedly to my story and was there to help keep things running smoothly and as efficiently as possible.

The BEST

There are not enough words for me to accurately praise and thank Lindsey. I was already officially divorced but was not being paid child support when I finally found my knight in shining armor, Lindsey. After 2 other lawyers left me feeling helpless Lindsey was recommended to me and let me say, DID ...NOT DISAPPOINT!! First off, I loved and valued her honesty- which was a constant during our time together. Her communication was top notch and I always felt like I was the only, and most important case she was working! She guided me yet let me lead when I needed to! She was willing to fight for me and that was what I needed!! Lindsey put her foot down and refused to let my case end in any other way but in my favor. For the totality of my divorce I had 4 lawyers before Lindsey, so through experience, I can truly say LINDSEY is the BEST!! If you need a "bull dog" to get you what you deserve then she is your lawyer. I told her and I'll write it here, "I only wish I had had you as my first attorney" I cannot say enough wonderful things about Lindsey. I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend her!!!!

Understanding & Fierce

Lindsey was incredibly supportive and clear throughout the process. I was leaving an abusive, same-sex spouse and Lindsey carefully broke down her behaviors and manipulation to get to the core of each issue. She was able to get the papers signed day of and save me a lot of stress and anxiety.

Divorce Lawyer

Lindsey, was the strong woman and the exact lawyer I needed during the toughest time of my life. Navigating through a divorce is extremely difficult and Lindsey met me exactly where I was at. I was emotionally beaten, mentally tired, and physically exhausted. I was having trouble processing through t...he divorce in a healthy way and when I could not fight anymore, Lindsey was compassionate and she was a fighter when I needed rest. While attempting to keep my wits, and raise three children on my own, Lindsey looked out for my best interests and the interest of my children. When I was not thinking in the clearest of ways, Lindsey was able to speak to me and make me understand all the issues that come along with divorce procedures and proceedings. Even through mediation when my X was across the table, Lindsey was by my side and I felt completely safe and in the best of hands. I could not have seen myself with anybody else except for Lindsey Patten. Divorce is a broken road that is never easy, and it never comes without some semblance of pain. Lindsey will journey with you every step of the way, making you feel like first class. When the world around you is telling you that you’re a failure, Lindsey tells you a different story. With the hard work she puts in this allows you to take a breather, in this space you can begin building your life back up one brick at a time. Lindsey Patten is highly recommended by me.
