Outstanding Advice in Difficult Situation

We hired Lynn under the most difficult circumstances--our lovely daughter had been drugged, raped, and had a full psycothic break that progressed into schizophrenia. Her delusions eventually morphed so that she thought we had hurt her, and our daughter filed 2nd and 3 rd degree rape charges against... us. This was an exceptionally horrible situation as our daughter was determined to be "gravely ill" by psychiatrists and needed guardianship, but the family court case needed to be concluded first in order for us to have a chance to get guardianship to care for her. Lynn gave consistently expert advice in every aspect of this tricky situation. In fact, we liked her so much that we asked for her advice multiple times on our guardianship case in a different court. She offered multiple creative ideas for how to work through the situation that ultimately led to the case being dismissed.. She kept us focused on what was important and was super responsive--we talked to her over many late nights and weekends. A+ service all around.

Child support and custody agreement

Lynn came highly recommended from a previous laywer as well as a judge, and she met every Expectation I had. Iv worked with her from the beginning of 2016 all the way to 2024, she helped my daughter receive what she deserved. Lynn and her team were all ways attentive to phone calls, emails, as well a...s communication about the case (as well as personal questions) and made it easy for me to understand what was going on. Will absolutely recommend Lynn everytime

Absolute worst Attorney!

I found out the hard way just because an attorney is elected as the president of the bar association doesn’t mean they’re any good. She loses documents, fails to file, does not listen to you, overcharges, inflates charges, does not do her job. Attorney is supposed to watch out for your best interest.... She failed in this numerous times. Also found out that she changed documents and used my signature on documents I never signed or saw. . She lets the opposing counsel do her work for her during most of the case. How ethical is that? As a client attorneys work for you and are supposed to do what you request, she refused, and failed to protect our right on numerous occasions. During court trial she couldn’t find documents most of the time, she had to ask opposing counsel for documents. She was more concerned about missing her vacation doing her job. She was clearly unprepared for the trial and then had the nerve to charge an exorbitant amount which she clearly didn’t deserve. She Clearly, didn’t know my case many times, asking me for advice, or what to do. There was absolutely no follow up on discovery. And where she was supposed to file contempt charges, She forgot or failed to do so. She left my family vulnerable, and now spouse stopped, paying in accordance with the law and the order that was issued by the court and now, all the bills, child support and maintenance stopped. When it was reported to her, and she refused to do anything about it. She tried to force me to settle, and when I refused because the law is clearly on my side, she spent all the time looking at her phone, and taking care of other other clients instead of my family, And she was still charging me for it. Charging me while she’s taking care of other clients instead of listening to me we’re talking to me or advising me. The absolute worst attorney. When I asked her question, she told me she didn’t have time to explain it to me. When I asked her to support her recommendation by showing me the law that states or supports what she’s recommending, she refused to do so, she said she didn’t have time. The absolute worst attorney, I found on the bill that she tried to stick me with, many of the charges like a three hour phone call never happened.

Best Family Law Attorney

Lynn-Poster-Zimmerman is the best family law attorney I have ever had the pleasure to work with. From our first meeting, she explained everything to us in terms we could easily understand & was always very responsive when we had questions. This could have been very hard on our daughter & her girls,... but she made it easy for us to understand every part of the process. Thanks to Lynn, our daughter & her girls are living together in a safe place. If anyone is looking for a knowledgeable Family Law Attorney at a great price, Lynn-Poster-Zimmerman is it!!

Precisely the Family Counsel You Need

I had the privilege of having Lynn as my counsel during my divorce and custody proceedings. Lynn is exceedingly wise, knowledgeable, compassionate and incredibly professional. Her years of legal experience were evident from my first consultation with her, and she was always clear and concise regard...ing my specific situation and the agenda to be set for future proceedings, which provided a great deal of hope and perspective for me during this very difficult episode in my life. Throughout this matter Lynn always sought insightful solutions that would enable me and my former spouse to have a fair, equitable and satisfactory agreement and was particularly attentive towards my need to have a fair custody agreement and parenting schedule for my child. Thankfully, through Lynn’s skill as a negotiator and litigator I was fortunate to avoid having to go to trial however, had I needed to I can honestly assess that Lynn had my complete trust had we needed to pursue that route. Lynn has enormous trial experience and expertise, has acted as an Attorney for Child hundreds of times and demonstrates an acute knowledge of the local court system, its administrators and judges. Lynn was always consistent in her perspective and view on my behalf and was never in the least dissuaded during the more tense times of negotiation with opposing counsel or the court itself. Lynn was always prompt in responding to any of my queries while providing me insightful, empathetic and sensible legal advice. Divorce is a difficult enough situation, when coupled with the welfare and best interests of your child, it can seem unbearable, however, I can without question recommend to anyone that Lynn to be your advocate.
