Caring, professional legal support

I worked with Kristen for my divorce through mediation, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start, she was calm, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. She made the process feel manageable and fair. Kristen explained every step clearly and was very patient, allowing u...s to set the pace at each step of the way. The mediation process was efficient, respectful, and far less stressful than I imagined it could be. I’m deeply grateful for her help and highly recommend Kristen Lyndaker to anyone looking for a thoughtful, skilled, and supportive divorce attorney.

Exceptional level of professionalism

I worked with Kristen a few years ago, and I can confidently say that her expertise and dedication as a mediation divorce attorney exceeded all my expectations. From start to finish, Kristen demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, compassion, and skill. Navigating a divorce can be in...credibly stressful, but Kristen made the process as smooth and manageable as possible. She took the time to listen to my concerns, understood my goals, and provided clear, actionable advice tailored to my situation. Her ability to mediate effectively helped us reach a fair and amicable resolution. I highly recommend Kristen to anyone in need of great divorce mediation attorney.

Successful Collaborative Divorce

Kristen Lyndaker represented me in my collaborative divorce, and she was warm, responsive and easy to work with every step of the way. There were a number of complications coming to mutually agreeable terms with my former spouse, and Kristen remained calm, steady and clear-headed no matter what came... back at us. Her wisdom and expertise knowing how to structure and present terms linked to the division of assets, expenses and child-custody related issues in an ever thoughtful and fair way, combined with her ever-soothing presence were recurring balms of comfort throughout many a trying day. While there were inevitable challenges to get through, working with Kristen made the process of divorce relatively speedy, easeful and pain-free, even pleasant at times.
