Lyndsay Jo Howard

Upon my search for a female attorney that focused on divorce and family law I stumbled upon Lyndsay. She was so easy to work with, thoroughly answered all my questions. I had been dealing with a long drawn out divorce that involved custody and had been making zero progress with the previous person... I had been working with. She went over all my paperwork, made the necessary corrections and two hearings later we were divorced! I highly recommend her services.

I heard about Lyndsay from a coworker of my moms. I called and hired her to help with a contested protection order. After our initial discussion I found out she could help with custody as well so she filed all of the necessary paper work with family court, made phone calls and sent emails to verify t...hings that had taken place. We never ended up having to testify or go to hearing on either matter. Lyndsay worked with my exes lawyer and was able to help secure the protection order as well as sole legal and physical custody, allowing me to keep the children safe while allowing them to work on building a relationship with their other parent in a safe and controlled manner. She always sent emails with updated information on payments, charges and trust balance— at least monthly. When it comes time to modify our visitation agreement, Lyndsay will be the lawyer I call to navigate it. Great experience all around.

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.

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!

I had been to family court a few times over the years, while trying to adjust a custody arrangement after my divorce. I had used a competent lawyer in the past, but was frustrated that I wasn’t getting what I needed. I made the decision to use Lyndsay Howard to represent me instead and she was grea...t. I felt very comfortable while in front of the Judge with Lyndsay and knew that she had my best interests in mind. I know that had I tried to represent myself, I wouldn’t have gotten the outcome me and the family desperately needed for the well being of my son. Lyndsay fought for me and now my son lives with me full time and is doing much better. I will always recommend her services and you can be assured she’ll do what she can and fight for you. The most impressive thing about her work, was that she was able to negotiate favorable terms for me and my son, while avoiding a costly trial. I often thought that men didn’t get a fair shake in court, but with her by my side, I felt like the playfield was leveled.
