Amazing!
I hired Lindsey on June of 2020, I am reviewing her now because my divorce took long to finalize and my divorce was final on January of 2022 and I was going to through her reviews and I never got the chance to thank her. At the moment I have another situation that I will be retaining Lindsey for and will review her in a timely manner but let me just explain how wonderful Lindsey was for my divorce. One she was able to stipulate my divorce before even getting to the judge. She saved me a lot of money on that stipulation. I didn’t understand why she told me not to retain her for the portion of the GAL at the time. I was too emotional and thought like I was going to be screwed not realizing that Lindsey had already set me up for the win on the stipulation I was worried about the little things and Lindsey sat me down said hey you going to have to take the lost here on the ring pay that balance she negotiated me out of a-lot of debt that I would of incurred. She was very honest when my funds were exhausted she told me you don’t have to retain me for the GAL trial she explained everything again because my emotions were all over the place I didn’t understand it. But when my divorce was finalized it all made sense. There was no 50/50 on the debt she was able to get me out of alot and she did it in a short time I want to say 5 months she got everything on a court document had my wife and her lawyer agree on the stipulation and told me not to retain her for the GAL( because she didn’t want to just take my money) she knew I didn’t need her for that and told me you don’t have to retain me until the GAL has made a decision and at that point you can retain me again if needed. Lindsey is not cheap but she’s worth every dollar she charges for her services and I would recommend her 100% no questions asked. I had an issue where the child was born in a marriage and I wasn’t the biological father. It was a very hard situation for me at the time but when it was all set and done I realized just how good Lindsey really was. My ex wife spent over 20k on her attorneys and Lindsey I want to say costed me anywhere from 4-6k in that 5 month window and man I just want to say she was worth every penny of it! By the time the divorce was finalized I was able to overcome the presumption of marriage. I had the rings paid off and I walked away without paying thousands towards my wife’s debt in school. Lindsey did the right thing in stipulating my case saved me a-lot of money in court fees and was always super nice, professional and to the point. Best Family Lawyer in Milwaukee for sure!

Highly recommend!
I would highly recommend Attorney White and her team for your family law issues. Not only was she very knowledgeable on Wisconsin law but also the intricacies of the various local jurisdictions. I definitely knew that Attorney White was willing to fight as long and hard as I wanted without feeling pressured. I felt that I was completely informed of my options and what each route would likely end up costing in the end. The team was very responsive and helpful when any issues or questions arose and I feel has great standing and contacts within the court community. Very pleased I selected this firm!

A caring knowledgeable lawyer
Lindsey White represented my father in his divorce case. She made a difficult time a little easier and less stressful for both my father and me. She always responded promptly to our emails and phone calls, making sure we understood the what and why’s of all of our questions. Lindsey Always made sure we knew the next step of the process and all of his options. She was truly caring and concerned about the welfare of my dad, But when it came down to the nitty gritty of the crazy proceedings Lindsey was confident, strong and took control with finesse. Lindsey is knowledgeable, caring and highly skilled. She also has a good team behind her. I highly recommend Lindsey White

Worth every penny
Attorney White has represented our family in a few critical family law matters. We have referred friends and colleagues and she has been nothing but professional and thorough. She has a way of really helping you to feel empowered even in situations where you feel like you may have no way out or no control of the situation. She does an outstanding job standing up for fathers, understanding military culture & the impact on families, and striving to get what is fair. She takes her time to gather your perspective, learn what’s important to you, and to put together the best legal representation for your situation. She recently helped me to get a more than fair settlement on a large amount of past child support that was due to me, helping me to close a very painful door in my life. It was an incredible relief to have her represented me in this particular situation, I couldn’t have done it without her.

Child support issue
Lindsey White has a strong knowledge of the current laws for child custody and support issues. She made sure she understood the unique needs of my case and was well prepared for the court hearing. I also appreciated that she had a strong legal team to bounce ideas off of when facing difficult problems and other lawyers were able to step in when schedules conflicted so the case wasn't unnecessarily prolonged.

AMAZING
Lindsey White!! Where do I begin. Amazing,Amazing, Amazing. If only i could give her more stars. Getting full custody of 4 children as a man is a difficult task. After hiring 3 different lawyers Lindsey White was MVP that made it happen. I can not thank this beautiful young lady enough. She got me my babies back. (My whole life). After 10 months of fighting for them due to abandonment. I hired Lindsey White and she got it done in one month. I now have a 4 beautiful children back in Louisiana where they belong. Guys i can not express how skillful and professional this young lady is. She is very good at what she does. I can not thank her enough what she done for me. Thank you Lindsey White, I can now hold my babies every night.

Divorce
So I went in and talked to David. He broke down my option on my divorce. He told me that he couldn't be in court because he had another case to handle. But he had someone great. Lindsey M. White he recommended. Since she took over nothing but the best. She tells the truth, on your side and most importantly she is a Bulldog when it comes to court. Highly recommend.

Attorney Lindsey White
"We are going to put a shield around you", is what Attorney Lindsey White told me during one of the most uncertain times in my divorce proceedings. I completely felt that way the whole time Lindsey was handling my case. Every time we spoke, emailed, or had general discussions I always felt confident she had mine and my children's best interests in mind. Lindsey's recommendation of the guardian ad litem we used proved to be the best advice/decision she could have gave me. Without Lindsey's experience, expertise and professionalism I feel like my case would not have worked out as well for me and my children. Thank you so much Lindsey I couldn't be happier with the work you have done for me and my family. I would recommend Attorney White to anyone that needs a family practice Lawyer.

Attorney that grounds what is a Milwaukee County nightmare
Divorce is never easy. With mine, I was representing myself for the first quarter of the process. I consulted with Lindsey and hired her as we both assumed it was on it's last legs and as the respondent, we would both just ensure the legal process is followed. We both assumed wrong. Lindsey was instrumental in keeping the process grounded. She went above and beyond being the respondent attorney and even cracked the whip a few times as necessary. The other party was all over the place and random, she was able to keep the focus and more importantly keep me from losing my mind. Yes there were frustrations with the process, but she was patient and level headed. She is not your typical lawyer, from my perspective, that is after your money or delaying the process or tasks to get more. She is the opposite. She wants to get it done, get it done right and effective from the start. I hope you or anyone does not to go through a divorce, but if you do and need a lawyer, Lindsey White is the person to help. I can't put or type into words how grateful I am that she came in the middle of everything and was able to keep the train on the tracks, as a respondent lawyer, when the petitioner and their lawyer were trying to derail along the way. Oh and the unnecessarily complicated process in Milwaukee County is a nightmare, she was able to guide along that craziness and break it down honestly and with her client in mind, while also considering the other side. We had kids involved, she was able to keep them as the focus but not have them involved. To balance that is an incredible task. If you are going through a divorce, I honestly wish you the best. It will take a lot out of you, but if you are reading this and considering Lindsey, go with her. She helps take a the sting out of this awful process.

Termination of maintenance
After over 25 years of paying maintenance of $1,000/month to my ex wife, I decided enough was enough. My current wife and I did the research and decided to hire Lindsey. This was one of the smartest moves of my life. My ex had been living in a marriage like relationship with another person for several years, continuing to rake in the $12,000 per year. After much review, Lindsey felt our case was very strong to terminate maintenance, and within 6 months of hiring her we were able to weigh the pros and cons of proceeding to a court case vs a buyout. Ultimately the buyout was the answer and was done at a very reasonable cost to me. This permanently ended maintenance. Lindsey was very efficient and kept us informed throughout. She always answered our questions in a timely fashion which was most appreciated. My wife of 23 years and I are now free of any connection to my ex and it is a huge relief for us. We are so appreciative of Lindsey's professional help and guidance. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking help in family law.

Couldn't Have Asked For Better Representation!
I hired Miss White in 2015 for a jurisdiction dispute. While I lived in Alabama at the time, my ex lived in Wisconsin where I had moved from. The state of Alabama had issued a Protection From Abuse restraining order against my ex for myself and our son, so my ex attempted to file custody papers in Wisconsin and just hope I didn't notice. However, I was notified by a friend of the proceedings and promptly hired Atty White. Not only was my ex's case dismissed due to lack of jurisdiction, but I was then able to terminate his parental rights due to his abuse of my son! Had I lost jurisdiction, I would have had to fight from 1000 miles away for my son's safety, and it would have been dragged out much longer. Due to the nature of the abuse, I'm sure my ex's rights still would have been terminated, but it would have been much more costly and lengthy. I can't imagine what that would have done to my family. On top of Lindsey's professionalism, I was astounded with her demeanor and behavior! I will admit that I am a difficult client to work with in court, as I want to be walked through everything step by step. I do a lot of research, and I really want to be a part of it. It's my life, after all! Some lawyers get very frustrated and want me to just hand the whole case over to them and wait. Lindsey never made me feel like I was inconveniencing her with my emails or calls and my detailed questions. She understood how important everything was to me... this is my son! Nothing is more important! Miss White allowed me to be there for every step of the process, never getting aggravated with my need to know every detail. She made me feel safe, like it was going to be handled and be okay, when all I was fearing was my son being abused again. I could not imagine working with someone more professional yet compassionate. I highly recommend Lindsey to anyone and everyone!

Child Support Case
I hired Attorney White to assist me with a child support case. My ex wife had lost her job and refused to find a new job in a timely fashion. Once her severance ran out, she tried to obtain child support based on her unemployment insurance. Attorney White prepared and presented the case and demonstrated that my ex was not taking her job search seriously and only attempting to obtain a better child support settlement. Thankfully, the legal action on my part compelled her to get a job and we reached a very agreeable out-of-court settlement. This never would have happened without the advice and guidance I received from Attorney White.

My Best Legal Experience EVER !
When my wife of 38 years in the summer of 2012 unexpectedly informed me that "she no longer wished to be married" I was totally blindsided and unprepared to handle that development. We lived in Lake Geneva, WI, but we co-owned a business in Chicago. I was so shocked that I was not thinking clearly and despite the aggregate counsel of many friends and colleagues I did not retain an attorney and represented myself in court. Bad idea ! I gave her EVERYTHING she asked for (my income was relatively significant back then) and without realizing it I agreed to a "non-modifiable" decree. Another bad move ! I had not anticipated that in 2014 my business would hit hard times and sales decreased precipitously. An employee was going to have to be laid off and I couldn't do that to them so I decided to sell the place to my sons who worked for me and fire myself ! They pay me monthly and I turn around and send most of that sum to their mother in the form of spousal maintenance. Unfortunately I agreed to a 10 year deal and the last 5 years would see an increase from $2384 per month to $4000 per month ! Considering my current income is not much more than that it simply would not have been possible. Also, agreeing to a non-modifiable precluded the possibility of lowering my obligation. It was obvious I needed an attorney. My regular Chicago lawyer is not licensed to practice in Wisconsin, so I needed to find one who was. I went on the internet and checked out some in the area and I was pretty much just throwing darts. BULLSEYE !!! I called Probst Law Offices because of their free initial consultation offer and was called back the same morning by attorney Lindsey White. Wow, that was my lucky day ! Lindsey patiently listened to my story and was immediately assuring that we would be able to improve my situation. Despite my stupid non-modifiable maneuver, Lindsey creatively negotiated my remaining 5 year obligation from $240,000 to a lump sum settlement of $150,000 ! So, right out of the gate I'm $90k better off. It gets better...she devised a plan in which I could transfer the $150k from one of my retirement accounts to my former wife's IRA and consequently save me thousands of dollars in taxes. I thought this was too good to be true...until earlier this week when we all converged in court and the deal was officially signed...what a relief !!! Lindsey White could not possibly have pleased me any more than she did. She was always accessible and her assistant Mariana was also very helpful during the process. There were occasions when Lindsey would email me with updates and the time stamp would be very late in the evening. This impressed me greatly. That shows dedication beyond the call. Lindsey has a delightful and kind demeanor that truly makes the stressful parts of the divorce odyssey much easier to navigate. Owning a business in Chicago for decades, I obviously dealt with many professionals and of course their competence was the most important factor in the relationship but I must say that some of them were not particularly likeable and/or pleasant to deal with. That's not the case with Lindsey White ! She's a really nice lady who has great empathy for her client and she makes the client feel that their case is high priority to her and she will work hard for them. That was certainly the case for me. I would recommend her to anyone in the market for a Wisconsin divorce attorney with total confidence they would thank me afterward !

Extremely pleased
Lindsey did a great job in working through my divorce. She's very prompt and detailed with all her responses to questions or concerns I had. Never having gone through this before I initially felt a bit overwhelmed. However Lindsey's professionalism and guidance throughout the whole process made it much less stressful than I anticipated. Her advice and honesty in regards to the many items that needed to be worked through was greatly appreciated. I always felt she had the best interests of my kids and I in mind. Despite the many cases I'm sure she works through I never felt that I was one of many. From the professional side of things she's extremely knowledgeable and confident but to me it's the personal side of things I appreciated. It's the support and understanding of how this affects the people she represents. I would highly recommend Lindsey.

Divorce
I spoke to several attorneys from different agencies regarding my divorce. Some were very determined to turn it into a war. I contacted Lindsey and told her what my goals and expectations were. She was very willing to see that everything was met and in a timely manner. I did retain her as my attorney, based on her knowledge and professionalism. During the process she kept very lines of communication open. This put me at ease due to the fact I never had gone through a divorce. I have dealt with many attorneys over the course of many years due to my profession. I wish all my interactions with attorneys would be this smooth.

Great Representation
Lindsey dealt with my 1.5 year lengthy divorce and custody battle. She was prompt, on time and very through in every aspect of my case. She cared for myself and the wellbeing of my child. She went above and beyond when we dealt with a possible child abuse injunction that was denied but she pushed for even better results in the marital agreement . I trusted her with my case and felt she took everything I said into consideration and did even better results than what we even thought we get. She was through in the Marital agreement and really took my Sons needs and safety into consideration. I recommend her and all she does. She is fabulous. If something ever comes back up, she is the one I will call without a doubt. If your looking for a lawyer who has your back, go with Lindsey. Thank you from the bottom of my heart , through my messy situation you have me a new life through the rough times!

I am thoroughly satisfied with Atty White. She was very knowledgeable in her field and also came to court very well prepared each time. Atty White made sure that I was aware of all of my options and made suggestions on what would benefit me most. I would definitely use her services again if there is a need and have already recommended her to others. A pleasure doing service with her during a stressful time in my life.

Very satisfied client. Highly recommend Attorney White
Attorney White handled my case obtaining joint legal custody and placement of my son. She was very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions thoroughly throughout the process. Every email was answered almost immediately which helped tremendously. I've heard from numerous people how hard it was to get their attorney's to respond. I am very grateful I didn't have that problem. I received numerous free consultations and there's no doubt in my mind I hired the right attorney. The outcome was exactly what I wanted and most importantly, what's best for my son. If you're looking for a confident and competent attorney I highly recommend Attorney White.

Child custody
Atty. White did an excellent job putting together the pieces of my case that had previously been started by someone else. She was very prompt at getting back to me on questions or detials that needed to be discussed. She always kept me informed on what was happening with my case good or not so good and which direction we should go to get the best results for me.
