Lyndsay Jo Howard

Lyndsay Howard was a tremendous help with the parenting time issues that we had. She has an excellent knowledge base of family law. She is a good listener, empathetic, and helped us come up with a strategy to successfully solve our issue. Lyndsay was also responsive to our questions and handled eve...rything in a very timely manner. I was also impressed with her knowledge of the Dakota County court system, and I am sure that the way she prepared the documents for the court helped us win our case. I would definitely turn to her again for legal assistance if I ever needed help with a family law issue. I highly recommend her as an attorney.

Lyndsay was a someone I depended on with the outcome of my life. She is level headed and was able to keep her emotions in check, while dealing with some extremes of the situation at hand. I have the greatest amount of respect for Lyndsay and hope not to have to use her again, but if needed she woul...d be my first call.

Lyndsay was very helpful with my custody case. She always kept what I wanted in mind. She informed me of what I could expect to happen which kept my expectations realistic. Any questions or concerns I had she addressed right away. She is a well established attorney knowing the court system like the b...ack of her hand.

EVERYTHING that Ms. Howard did from the initial phone interview to the first meeting in preparing me on what to expect, to the end. I had less than two weeks to find a lawyer before I moved one of our sons to the East Coast & I did a lot of homework on Attorneys & their web pages & by phoning them. ... One lawyer was a partner with the Mediator we had & I can say without reservation, I am glad I picked Ms Howard above her and the others! The main reason was being in close proximity to where I live, her years of experience, her experience with the ENE and mediation process. Though, the very end has not quite happened yet, as I am keeping her abreast of the two remaining pieces (the house refinance & the change in title on our joint SUV - am still having problems with GMAC getting the lien release, so I can switch it over officially. (My EX has signed off on the title as a formality til I get the lien release & the refinance should happen within the next 10 days.) I do NOT mind paying her very affordable fees in sending her update emails til the house refinance is closed upon! Ms Howard is a VERY PROFESSIONAL & knowledgeable Attorney, who made the difference in our only appearance before a Mediator & with my EX's request to not do any more mediation, Ms Howard led the offer, counter offer with the Plaintiff's Attorney (my Ex's Atty). She was the one who spent the time putting together all of the paperwork that was submitted to the Court and for file purposes. At times, because of my Ex's abusiveness, Ms Howard was there for counsel and advising me what to do or not to do! She originally advised me not take our house & I would have received better with spousal maintenance. Because of my Ex being somewhat abusive to my 4-sons (19-24), the two younger ones did not want to move, so without consulting Ms Howard, I told her I had to accept the house with ALL of the thousands of dollars in repairs & upgrades, just to be there for my sons! Ms Howard accepted that & swiftly changed pace and got me as good or better of a marital settlement with my EX. Even though this is private between me & Ms Howard, she had told me that she was surprised at how well I did in the settlement process. Which was very reassuring and a positive note to her due diligence! Ms Howard was very prompt with emails and phone calls when I was frustrated with my Ex's actions & was reassuring! I PERSONALLY FEEL THAT I RECEIVED THE BEST DIVORCE CARE AND ATTENTION THAT ANYONE COULD EVER HAVE RECEIVED AND THE AMOUNT OF FEES THAT I PAID WERE WELL WORTH WHAT MS HOWARD CHARGED ME!!!!! I was VERY proud of Ms Howard professionally when we were in the ICM in Dakota County Courtroom before the Judge explaining how things worked, as well at the Mediator's in suggesting a quick settlement offer on the house when my EX originally was going to keep the house & in making the offers & counter offers! THANK YOU MS HOWARD FOR EVERYTHING!!! Divorces only happen once (I hope for me!) But, should I ever need legal divorce help for me, a family member or friend, I will not hesitate to call on you with your experience & professionalism and knowledge! (I have given one person her name & my recommendation.)
