Terrible experience

Decisions that had been extensively discussed were never implemented. There was no strategy, except to "pause" work, which effectively sunk my case. I communicated in my first email to Ms. Parvis that I wanted to settle as soon as possible. She initiated settlement discussions two months after I r...etained her, and two days before the end of my case. She was unreachable by email for weeks on end. I brought this case on behalf of a family member with disabilities, and there was supposed to be a longer term discussion with the opposing party about this individual's longterm future, her approach undermined that discussion as well. If you have lots of time on your hand to manage your own case, and ensure that your lawyer actually does what was discussed, if you have the time to track her down when she does not respond to emails, if you have a basic grasp of legal strategy, Ms. Parvis certainly knows the law, it's likely going to work. But I didn't have that kind of time.

Thank you for your feedback. I truly value hearing from clients, positive or critical, as it helps me learn, grow, and continually improve the way I serve others. I also appreciate your insight about the importance of alignment between an attorney and client when it comes to goals and potential outcomes. You’re absolutely right - clear communication and shared expectations are essential in building a strong working relationship, especially in matters as personal and complex as legal representation. This is important information for anyone to consider when hiring an attorney, and it’s something I take seriously in my practice. If there’s anything more you’d like to share about your experience or ways we can improve, please feel free to contact the office, as I welcome the opportunity to listen and better understand your perspective. Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Competent and compassionate attorney

Attorney Parvis is a wonderful human and a knowledgeable divorce lawyer. She was with me every step of a very difficult and lengthy path, often when I was confused and needed to discuss different scenarios, and yet I never felt pushed or discounted. She is honest, realistic and caring. She knows her ...stuff and will look out for you. She is more than fair with her and her team's fees. She was all I needed and so much more. I could never thank her enough.

Lindsay and Team

Lindsay is a compassionate person by nature and that quality is exemplified in her approach in practicing family law. Lindsay and her team helped me get through the daunting divorce process with dignity and grace. Lindsay knows when to "turn on and off" the fierce, especially with respect to the opp...osing counsel in my case. Thank you Lindsay and Team!

Obtaining a difficult divorce

Ms. Parvis maneuvered the treacherous waves and kept me off the rocks in gaining me a divorce. It was not your standard separation and divorce; we maintained the same residence the entire 2* years but Lindsay was able to get a mutual agreement so I could proceed with getting a divorce. She helped me ...realize what was realistic to expect as far as a fair expectation and what I should just “let it go” I. In the end, it became a business agreement. Lindsay helped me obtain my freedom with a fair and equitable settlement. She rocks!

Highly recommended

I hired Lindsay to represent me during a divorce proceeding. While no one looks forward to this process, Lindsay's knowledge, professionalism, and compassion made the process much easier than expected. Based upon my experience I would highly recommend Lindsay.
