Review Lindsey Straus

Highly Recommend

Posted by DonaldFri Sep 27 2019

Lindsey prepared trusts, last will and testaments, powers of attorney, trustees certificates and health care proxies for my wife and me. She was extremely expedient but thorough and prepared all these documents for a third of the price of a Hyannis lawyer who had quoted the job. Her handling of our personal preferences for last rites was particularly compassionate.

Twice a Victory

Posted by KenSun Nov 05 2017

A few short years ago my company ran into an egregious trademark and copyright infringement. In reviewing local attorneys, I discovered Ms Straus had extensive experience in the field and hired her. Despite the complexity of the case, we achieved a resounding success and very quickly. We again ran into yet another similar infringement in the past couple months so I called upon Attorney Straus yet again. And again, in a matter of only a couple weeks she was able to shut down the violation and bring it to a quick resolve. Not only that, it ended up not costing me a penny. Should we find ourselves confronted with yet another ne'er-do-well attempting to steal our IP down the road, be assured we know who to call. I recommend anyone else do the same.

Lindsey and I were on opposing sides of a lengthy and complex business litigation. Throughout the proceedings, I found Lindsey to be smart, hardworking, creative and ethical. She was a worthy adversary and served her clients' interests well.
