Excellent Custody and Prenuptial Attorney

I offer my highest recommendation for Lynne MacElree. Lynne represented me as a male in a custody case in a very difficult county and did a phenomenal job. I trust her implicitly. She always had my interests ; as well as my children's interests at heart. Lynne took a very practical approach to my... case and helped me understand all potential ramifications. She was able to be tough when she needed to be but offered sound practical advice on when to hold a line and how to move forward amicably. I re-married several years after my custody case and Lynne represented me on my Prenuptial agreement. I have continued to stay in touch with Lynne and see her as a great friend now.

Client Recommendation

Linda MacElree is a professional, knowledgeable and respectable attorney. She is compassionate with delicate family court matters. She represented me in my custody and divorce actions which were particularly contentious between the parties. She thoroughly researches her matters and is always well ...prepared. As an attorney myself, I appreciate her legal strategies and sound legal advice. Her staff also works diligently and are experienced legal professionals. I highly recommend the legal services of Linda MacElree.

Client Response and Recommendation

I have just recommended yet another friend in need of excellent legal advice to Linda MacElree, Esq, in West Chester PA. I have had the privilege of working with her in two separate legal problems over the years. On a child custody issue, which became very emotional and drawn-out, she remained calm a...nd positive, reassuring me all along the way. We ended up in court twice, winning both times. She is highly respected by the West Chester legal community. I have known Lynn as a friend and lawyer for over twenty years. That is a long time. If you want a shark lawyer, while that's not her personality, I can assure you she will be a formidable force to deal with. She will not back down. You are in good hands.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have worked with Lynn on a number of divorce matters and have found her to be dedicated to her clients and to achieving the best outcomes. Most of the cases we worked on together were complex for one reason or another and required a willingness to consider alternative structures to resolve the matter."

"I met Lynn as an opposing attorney several years ago on an case involving complex financial issues and a hotly disputed custody matter. She was extremely knowledgeable and well-prepared for all court proceedings and negotiations. Since that time, I have contacted her with questions or sought her advice regarding possible strategies in other matters. Lynn has always been helpful and has provided excellent advice and insight."
