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.

Ms.

In February 2022, my ex-husband and I retained Kristen Lyndaker as our attorney to mediate our uncontested divorce which was finalized this year. She came highly recommended through a mutual contact. We conducted all of our meetings remotely and found her accessible and easy to communicate with via e...mail, phone and Zoom. From our first conversation, Kristen displayed warmth and compassion towards us and respected the emotional complexities of our particular situation. Kristen is very knowledgeable concerning legal matters as well as experienced navigating the often "choppy waters" of marital relationships. It was of the utmost importance to her that we understood and agreed upon all the myriad details we wrote in our Agreement; she also patiently explained all of the business protocols and supported us every step of the way. I highly recommend Attorney Kristen Lyndaker without reservation.

A caring attorney

Kristen is areal professional who cares deeply for the good of her clients. She did all she could to protect my rights and to get the best deal for me. Unfortunately the other side was not cooperating and despite all Kristen's efforts we could not reach an agreement. She was always available for a...nswering questions and explaining my rights and my options and made the horrible unwanted divorce process much bearable. I highly recommend Kristen to anyone who wants a very caring and professional collaborative divorce attorney. I

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.
