Highest Recommendations

After a severed relationship with another attorney, Lindsay stepped right in and took the reigns with my case. She set clear expectations and the communication I received from her and her team was refreshing in comparison to the experience with my prior counsel. After our initial consultation, I wa...s impressed by how well Lindsay had studied the history of my case. I felt like she had experienced the timeline of events with me and I was never worried about her missing important details. I appreciate that she spent time preparing me for each appearance in court and maintained a professional appearance and demeanor. Lindsay was ready for any obstacles that came in our direction from opposing counsel and I felt confident with her representing me and my children. I would highly recommend her services!

Great attorney for Child custody

She is top notch when it comes to divorce/custody issues. She keeps me focused and informs me of what is the most practical situation for each scenario that we encounter. She is always on top of her game and is focused on delivering great results each and every time. Thank you Lindsay for your amazin...g talent in this difficult moment in my life. Your truly are amazing in your profession. For future clientele, be confident you have a very impressive professional on your side.

Dedicated and caring representation!

I first hired Attorney Maclay in early 2003 to handle my custody case. Our case has lasted for years, not due to issues with my lawyer, but issues with my ex. Attorney Maclay and the rest of the law firm have stood by our side through all of our ups and downs. From the beginning, she has been very... straight forward to me about how the processes would work, our chances of succeeding, and which battles to fight verses which battles to concede to. In the darkest times of my frustration with the system, her ability to keep a calm and collected environment allowed me to refocus on what I needed to do to ensure my child came home with as little issues as possible. Through the eight years that Attorney Maclay has handled my case, she has believed in her work. She has believed in the case. She has believed in the better life we sought for my child. Through her dedication to my family, she has become a part of our family; something you may not find in many attorneys. You will be hard pressed to find another attorney who dedicates their time to each and every case the way Attorney Maclay does. “The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers.” - Henry The Sixth, Part 2 Act 4, scene 2

Top Notch Attorney!

Attorney Maclay is honest and straightforward. Many times during my case I contacted her about details written in the Custody Stipulation. She always told me her opinion and helped me make the best decisions my children - even if they weren't what I originally thought. I respect the fact that she ...was willing to point out both sides/choices even if one choice wasn't "in my favor". I would recommend her (and I already have many times) to anyone!!!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
