Highest recommendation

I interviewed several lawyers and working with them just didn’t feel right. Then I met Joshua, and I knew I had found the right lawyer for me. He was the only lawyer I met who used words like “win-win” and “collaborate.” He sat with me patiently as I described my situation, and he listened with si...ncere empathy. He took the time to understand what was important to me, and what was not. Most importantly, he executed on my case based on my values and what I wanted to get out of my divorce. Although my ex-husband wasn’t willing to engage in a collaborative divorce with me, Joshua and I approached the negotiation with a collaborative spirit and that made all the difference. In the end I got what I needed in my divorce settlement and then some. My ex-husband and I were set up to co-parent our children successfully. The process of negotiating our divorce was our first productive conversation since our separation, so it was an important first step in the healing process. In addition to his personal style, Joshua also had an important expertise that I needed - he was familiar with international family law. It was critical for me not only that he understood matters like the Hague Convention, but also that he had personal experience working with international divorces. Finally, Joshua’s business sense made sense to me. He was flexible with me on his retainer and payment terms. He never billed me for petty items. In fact I often had to offer to let him send me a bill when I sent the occasional question. I give Joshua my highest recommendation.

Joshua Lindsey Review

Joshua is a very effective and knowledgeable attorney, and I am so thankful for the work he did on my recent divorce. Going through a divorce will always be a challenging and emotional period, but working with Joshua made things much easier than they would've been otherwise. His years of experience a...llowed him to explain the process in detail and remove the fear/anxiety associated with the unknown. Joshua drafted a marital dissolution agreement that adequately protected my interests but was also fair to both parties. He also guided me through the court process and was always available and responsive if I had questions. I would certainly recommend Joshua to anyone with a family law matter.

Joshua is who you want by your side when you need an attorney for a personal or family issue

I've had to work with many attorneys over time for business and personal purposes, and can appreciate that when anyone is going through a difficult personal situation they need an experienced attorney who they can completely trust. Joshua helped me through a difficult divorce. I was specificall...y impressed by his detailed knowledge of the applicable law, the process itself, and the timing of key events (which you can't take for granted with all attorneys). Josh kept me informed throughout the process, stayed on top of all key milestones, and never made me feel like his caseload was distracting him from my situation. He also provided valuable assessments of the subjective factors such as the people and personalities involved. As the situation required, Josh was compassionate or tough. He was always candid and realistic and made clear to me what choices I had and what the considerations were for the available options - but he always left the final decisions to me. There were several instances when he helped me negotiate successfully for factors that were especially important to me, such co-parenting terms. He was particularly effective and supportive during a long and contentious mediation process, but ultimately helped me achieve the best possible outcome. Josh is the one you want by your side when you have to navigate the legal system for a difficult personal matter. I'm sure most people who have gone through a divorce have had an experience similar to mine. It's difficult, confusing, contentious, and emotional. Josh made it as painless and quick as possible. I'm available for a personal contact for a more detailed reference if desired.

Compassionate, Helpful & Professional

Joshua was so helpful and understanding during my divorce. He listened to all the different aspects of my situation and was able to offer not only good legal advice, but personal advice as well. I could not asked for a better person, friend and attorney.

Compassionate Professional Attorney

Joshua Lindsey handled my case with compassion and professionalism from day one. He is intelligent, but down to earth, and exudes a comforting confidence about the legal process. It is clear he knows the judges and other attorneys involved in divorce work, and that is reassuring. Mine was a case i...nvolving a unique issue with which he wasn't very familiar, and he researched and educated himself about the issue very rapidly and comprehensively. I was extremely impressed by his resourcefulness. He also had a terrific response rate when I needed to reach him, and asked repeatedly about me and my children; clearly we were more than "just a case" to him. Joshua is terrific, and I recommend him without reservation.
