The Highest Recommendation

I worked with Lyndsay to navigate a very complicated child custody situation. There were a lot of moving parts and numerous parties involved. Lyndsay was incredible. I had many difficult question and Lyndsay always provided sound advice and direction. Having worked with other attorneys in the past, L...yndsay put them all to shame. Her level of professionalism, knowledge and humor made a very difficult time in my family's life much less stressful. She fought hard for my family both in and out of the courtroom. I would highly recommend her.

She's really trying to cut me out off the children life.

I have read all her reviews. It's a go with this attorney. I can't wait to give her a call immediately.

Biggest Mistake - Not starting with Lyndsay!

For context: I was a dad facing an uphill battle to get 50/50 custody of my son. Without the incredible work and expertise of Lyndsay Howard, my family would not be the same as it is today. Make sure you meet with her for a free consultation - whether you ultimately go with her or not, she walks ...through the process and listens to your situation better than anyone else in the cities. 100% recommend you do this!!! Getting her knowledge from the start actually helped my situation immensely down the road. Not every lawyer is able to break the process down so clearly like Lyndsay does. Even though my battle was uphill, she made it so much easier to understand some complex and what felt like at the time to be scary situations. Thanks to the initial consultation I understood the entire process of mediation - and potential consequences of not coming to a settlement during so. I also understood all of the routes we could take for the best possible outcome. And all of that information just came out of meeting with her for 30 minutes for FREE.

 And here's the terrible kicker too - after we met, I went a different direction with someone else that a friend highly recommended ... and believe me when I say this, who you pick TRULY MATTERS. The first lawyer I had put me in a worse position than before, so I had to cut my losses, fired the recommendation, and temporarily threw my situation into a deeper hole. I began the most in-depth search for the best lawyer I could possibly find in the Twin Cities (in terms of expertise AND value). I did this because having the time you deserve with your children is priceless, along with the quality of life a great parenting plan brings. And for those without kids, it's the value Howard family law brings for your family matter to be in good hands. Ultimately, I ended my search and decided to go with Lyndsay. This by far was the best decision I have ever made in my life. No joke. Because through her help, I was able to obtain exactly what I wanted coming out with everything we didn’t think I would achieve!!! I had a pretty difficult path to navigate. And she did it flawlessly. Lyndsay cares about her clients so deeply, she's in your corner! She stood up for me every time I needed. I was never let down, and this made me feel incredibly empowered. And at the same time, she also is VERY sensible about keeping the costs down. She always tried to resolve the issues with as little litigation and court involvement as possible. She wants the best for you AND your family. I just hope someone on one of your sides has her! You ultimately both will win, she is the best of the best and truly cares about what's important. Lyndsay - thank you so much for helping make our family what it is today. You brought comfort in times that were incredibly tough and were the guiding light through our dark tunnel. 10/10. She changed our life!

Extremely Knowledgably

I hired Lyndsay for divorce and found her to be extremely knowledgeable and professional. When a question was brought up about the law or how we should proceed their wasn't any hesitation, she was factual and precise with your best interest in mind. She was upfront on everything and she will not give... you false hope on issues that aren't attainable. When the time was needed to be aggressive she didn't hold back and she did it professionally. I have absolutely ZERO regrets with hiring Lyndsay. I was extremely pleased and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Excellent Lawyer

Lyndsay was the best lawyer that I could ask for. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable and very personable when it comes to handling divorce cases. I knew I could count on her from the start. She was beyond excellent in communication and every step of the way. She 100% helped me win my di...vorce case for my boys and I. I can not think of any one else to ever help on a cse like this. Do not think twice ever about hiring her for your case. She truly cares about the client and the children involved. I am sad that I am donr working with her, but very relieved how easy she made this whole process.
