comparison to other attorney's

Lyndsay was great to work with. She was honest about potential outcomes, advised on how things may appear to the courts, provided recommendations and feedback on approaches, and identified ways throughout the process to support ensuring that I was protected in the process as well. I worked with a dif...ferent attorney/team prior to Lyndsay and the difference was big. I felt more informed on the process and options working with Lyndsay and felt like she actually cared for and understood what I wanted out of things. Prior, I was being shuffled around to multiple people on a legal team who seemed like they barely knew my situation, dismissed things I brought up, and did not inform me of essential information that could have made a difference in the process early on.

Divorce & Custody

I had a very positive experience working with Lindsay on my divorce case. From the beginning, she understood the urgency of my situation and worked through the challenges to provide clear direction on the next steps. Even with tight time constraints, she prioritized my case and stayed focused on movi...ng things forward efficiently. Lindsay was always professional and direct, which I really appreciated during such a stressful process. She communicated clearly and made sure I understood what to expect at each stage. In the end, everything came together smoothly—the judge approved our case the same day as the court hearing. Overall, it was a good experience, and I’m grateful for Lindsay’s dedication and guidance throughout the process.

Child Custody

Lyndsay is professional, and was great to work with given the circumstances. She worked diligently and efficiently to help me reach a desired outcome for a child custody case. I enjoyed that we were able to come to a resolution much quicker than I had anticipated.

TPR & Adoption

Lyndsay was absolutely wonderful to work with - from the initial consultation to the final court hearing, our family truly felt heard. She was professional, honest, and kept us informed throughout every step of the process. I couldn't recommend her more.

Lyndsay Made a Difficult Process So Much Easier

I had a great experience working with Lyndsay Howard. She was professional, responsive, and truly cared about my case. Lyndsay took the time to explain everything clearly, kept me informed throughout the process, and always made sure I understood my options before making any decisions. Her knowledge ...and attention to detail gave me a lot of confidence, and she handled everything efficiently from start to finish. I really appreciate the support and dedication she showed it made what could’ve been a stressful situation much easier to manage. I would highly recommend Lyndsay to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate attorney.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
