Terrible with divorce financial matters

Linsey represented me with my divorce that involved financial abuse and a child custody issue. Lindsey navigated through the child custody issue well but DO NOT use Lindsey in divorces involving any financial matters. Her overall lack of knowledge with asset distribution or having to prove a simple f...inancial injustice almost cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars in my settlement. The only numbers she seemed concerned with were her billable hours. Lindsey tried to convince me to accept 10x less than I ultimately received in an effort to avoid a “costly trial” The reason I was given was it would be hard to prove in court. Maybe hard for her was the true answer. I retained a new attorney with the financial skills needed in such a matter and he was able articulate my case to the court and a settlement was reached mid-trial for 10X what Lindsey asked me to settle for. She is still looking for money for motions she wrote (wasted billable hours) that went no where in court and weren’t even finalized which prevented my new attorney from effectively addressing certain matters. STAY AWAY FROM LINDSEY ALBINSKI.

Honest and Excellent Negotiator

I retained Lindsey as co-council on my custody case. When I met with her, she discussed exactly what my options would be and how she would handle my case. With her excellent negotiation skills and thorough knowledge of the law, the case was settled without going to trial.

Highly Recommend

Lindsey represented me in my divorce and later in my child support enforcement. She always provided honest and practical legal advice. She listened to my concerns throughout the process and aggressively handled delicate situations for me and my children during a difficult period.

Quit One week. Edite trial

I don't recommend her she started out normal and then multiple mistakes that cost me a lot of money I don't know if it is incompetence or a lack of ethics then she quit 1 week prior to my divorce trial

I am upset to hear that a client was dissatisfied with my service. However, I do feel that the criticism offered in this case is unfair. Unfortunately, attorneys are sometimes placed in difficult situations by clients which may require the attorney to terminate their representation of the client.
