Steady Guidance on the Road to a New Beginning

I hired Lindsay based on a referral, and from our first conversation I felt confident in her approach and her ability to guide me through a process that was new to me. Her communication was consistently responsive, clear, and reassuring. She explained each step in a way that made the legal process ea...sy to understand, and her strategy aligned fully with my goals. Although my case was on the simpler end (perhaps), there were still important technical details to address. Lindsay’s guidance was thorough and helped me feel informed and comfortable at every stage. Her team was great — organized, efficient, and consistently proactive in keeping both me and the overall process on track. Their professionalism made a meaningful difference. I was fully satisfied with the outcome and felt well‑represented throughout. I recommend Lindsay to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, supportive, and effective divorce attorney.

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.

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!

What an Unbelievable Blessing Lindsay ended up being!

I was suprised when my wife of 20 years filed for divorce. I asked a close friend who is a lawyer for his recommendations. I interviewed both and Lindsay really stood out as experienced, knowledgeable, and skilled and someone who would be willing to work with me to give me all the options to help me ...accomplish my goals through this horrible situation. It turned out that Lindsay works for one of the top firms and this was so helpful to have other skilled lawyers available for consultation as needed. Her experience shined through the whole long process, whether it was guiding me by telling me all the details that I had to do to gather all the relevant information as we built our case, or discussing the outside consultants we could hire for the trial and how each one would help our side. Her prep work on teaching me how to and how not to respond to questions for my deposition was phenominal! And it really showed as she, ahead of time, explained her process when disposing my ex and then seeing all the pitfalls my ex fell in to by Lindsay's skilled questioning! (Where was my ex's prep work?) At one point during the year, leading up to the end of the divorce, my ex was telling me how fabulous my lawyer was and how her lawyer (who was highly recommended!) was clearly no match, then we compared our lawyer's charges and my ex's were so much higher than mine even though my charges included the two specialists we hired, and given the fact that Lindsay had a higher billable rate than her "highly recommended" lawyer! My ex is so lucky she agreed to settle! I knew my children (ages 16 up to 22) would be living with her so I wanted to be very generous but if she did not agree to settle (which she did not do until the last minute, she was never reasonable and seemed to feel like she was owed more than 100% of everything! ), between her lawyer being totally outclassed by Lindsay, and our side so much more fully prepared, and including our two expert consultants, she would have been killed in the trial! All in all, Lindsay made every aspect of this process go so well and I would highly recommend her to a friend, family member, or anyone!
