Superb Results

Lyndsay was very professional and upfront on her experience, thoughts and ideas about our case from the initial consultation to the last email exchange after our hearing. We had a tough case where my husband was put in the position to have to fight for his child who’d been abducted from him by his ...then wife the child’s mother- when the child was an infant in 2012, and with the mom having 74% custody time to his one weeknight and e/o weekend. Lyndsay showed through every communication that she authentically cared about our family issues and was working to create the desired results. She brought her A+++ game to court and for the First time since the abduction 6 years ago, my husband was HEARD via Lyndsay’s arguments. Howard Family Law was the first law firm I looked at in my attorney search and via all of the great reviews we chose her and were not disappointed. She smartly had us do a lot of the resource and documentation gathering to cut down on her billable hours, then brought an impressive portfolio to reference from to court with her. I would and will recommend Lyndsay over and over again. My husband has access to more time with his child- his God given right for the first time and it’s worth every penny. Thank you Lyndsay.

Don't look any further. Lyndsay is wonderful!

Divorce is not easy, especially with children involved. Lyndsay will handle all of your needs in a timely, compassionate manor! She was quick to respond and helped me through all of my obstacles, making me feel better along the way! You have found your family attorney!

Compassionate, yet gets stuff done

I found Lyndsay by googling and reading the reviews, now it is my turn to write a review. I am very grateful for how she handled my case about kids' custody. Lyndsay is relatable, down to earth and compassionate. It is necessary to be open and spill your guts in a case like that, but she makes it eas...y and listens well. Later, when I read her correspondence with the other party's lawyer, I could see clearly how she fought fiercely on my side, stood up for me and my kids. Lindsay is efficient, clearly details the charges, offers choices. She gets things done. Even though any occasion when one has to use a lawyer to resolve a case is not a happy one, I want to say that Lyndsay made it as positive of an experience as it can be. I recommend Lyndsay for resolving the child custody matters.

Gave me everything I could have asked for!

Dealing with child custody for the first time Lyndsay made it very simple , fast and efficient. Broke everything down for me explaining each step by step keeping me informed and by the end of our case I was granted joint physical and joint legal custody of my son! Lyndsay and her team gave me everyth...ing I could have asked for and more! I would highly recommend Lyndsay to anyone who is in need of representation or even consultation.
