Compassionate, efficient and insightful

I worked with Krysten when I needed a new lawyer quite far into the process of a collaborative divorce. She came in and understood the work we’d done quickly and comprehensively, and shepherded us through the end of the process. I particularly appreciated that faced with a poorly written draft of an ...agreement she was able not only to make sure it reflected discussions and decisions she had not been present for but also deeply clarified the wording and intent. Most impressively, she was able to largely rewrite the entire document without offending my former husband’s lawyer ,who’d created the draft, or seeming to intrude on the work she and all of us had done. This all took place at a distance during the pandemic, yet I felt that we got to know each other quickly and work well together. No matter how amicable, it is can be a difficult and delicate process, and Krysten handled it with warmth, compassion and efficiency.

Professional and empathetic during a painful process.

Kristen was incredibly professional and kind through out the entire separation and divorce process. There was so much uncertainty, and so many raw emotions, but she helped us to navigate everything professionally and empathetically. Especially because the process itself is confusing, she helped expla...in what questions we should be asking, and what best practices were regarding joint custody and all the other necessities regarding our son. I couldn't have asked for somebody better to help us work through a process that nobody wants to go through. Kristen, I can't tell you how grateful I am for how well you worked with us. Thank you!

Kind, Understanding & Competent

Kristen is the perfect combination of a lawyer who is truly kind, completely understanding, and highly competent. She helped clarify the steps to our uncontested divorce and guide us through the process in a fair, thoughtful and compassionate way. She lead conversations that were both considerate and... productive, and was always available to answer questions – from our initial consultation to the final signed judgement.

Thorough, professional, warm

I hired Ms. Lyndaker for my divorce after going though several mediators. She gently kept me focused on the end goal and validated my point of view. She is thorough and thoughtful and made the process much easier. I am so grateful that i choose the right lawyer.

Keeping it simple

Quick response. Easy to reach - that’s important to me because I run a business, have two children and they suck up a lot of my time. Kristen was recommended to me via friend. I had trouble understanding some of the forms and filled a few things wrong. After going back to the Supreme Court four time...s trying to fix something (ever so minor annoyances) that I decided to just have Kristen check my “t” and “I”s. She fixed them with an addendum and refilled one of the forms to make sure all is right. After that nothing was heard from the city for about two months - as we say no news is good news. By the end of the 2nd month after resubmitting in my own 4 x - Kristen got it all done with one try. Luckily my ex and I were in the same boat to want to get things over with - am sure that got things moving even faster. Kristen pointed out my rights and noted what I needed too. She was “on my side” and I felt very supported. Her fee is very reasonable. So am happy with that too !
