Wonderful Lawyer

Very knowledgeable, caring, and straight forward attorney. Have recommended her to others and will continue to recommend her to anyone that needs these services. Lyndsay helped me with some post-divorce custody issues and advocated for my best interests as well as the best interests of all my childre...n. She knew what avenues would be best for us and always explained why. I cannot express how much I appreciate Lyndsay and her thoughtfulness during this time of my life. Thank you

Best Attorney Ever!

There are so many words to use to describe how amazing she is. She was/is my attorney for my divorce. She goes above and beyond in service. She is thoughtful, understanding and very prompt to return phone calls and emails. I knew if I had a questions or concerns she would get back to me quickly and I... knew that even if it was a silly question she would treat it with respect and give me the information I needed to feel better about what was going on. I would completely recommend her to anyone! I have so much respect for her and trust her completely!

Excellent family law attorney

I worked with Lyndsay Howard for my divorce and she represented my best interests as well as the best interests of my children. Lyndsay is very knowledgeable and I trusted her advice. She got me through a very nasty divorce, a tense mediation, as well as some post-divorce issues that my ex attempte...d to come after me for. We came out on top every time. Lyndsay is an excellent family law attorney and I would recommend her to anyone.

Excellent Representation

After being divorced from my ex-wife for 10 years I suddenly found myself in a custody battle. I tried another law firm and was poorly represented and knew I needed someone who could really fight for me. Lyndsay Howard was straight forward, honest and worked vigorously on my behalf all while workin...g within my budget. I now share custody with my son and I have Lyndsay to thank for that. Don’t make the same mistake I did and choose anyone else to defend you during the most difficult time in your life, make the right choice right away and choose Lyndsay Howard Law Firm.

Super Lawyer for 3rd-Party Custody and Grandparent's Right's

We had a very difficult Grandparent Rights Family Law Case, and felt totally lost until we met Lyndsay Howard. She didn't just represent us; she guided us through the entire legal process and made sure the best interests of our Granddaughter were upheld. This was the very first time we felt we had s...omeone who cared and was willing to fight the injustice of being unfairly prohibited from visitation with our Granddaughter handed to us from a hostile parent, the judicial system and "Hometown" Lawyers. Lyndsay's preparation, understanding of the law and courtroom presentation were superb. She has the utmost respect of judges and the clerks in the courtroom and is professional, highly intelligent, and courteous but not a push over. She is a bull dog when she needs to be. She treated me and my husband as if we were the only clients she was working with. She took time to explain our case to us, and was always available when ever we had any questions. I would describe Lyndsay as a very organized, knowledgeable, dependable, caring attorney. We never felt put off or uninformed for a moment, we could feel the genuine compassion and earnest drive to win at any cost for my granddaughters sake. We would not have won regular grandparent visitation if it had not been for Lyndsay. We are honored to have worked with her. She restored our faith in the system and there are very few lawyers we have ever spoken with that had heart like her. Compassion, Knowledge and Integrity! We hope to never have a need to use Lyndsay again but would recommend her highly to anyone.

  • 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.
