A Fierce Advocate Through a Difficult Divorce

Lyndsay Howard was exactly the advocate I needed. She understood the dynamics of my abusive situation without making me relive the trauma, and she navigated everything with strength, strategy, and compassion. She was assertive when it mattered and always kept my well-being at the center. I felt suppo...rted, respected, and in capable hands as she made this difficult process more manageable.

She is Fierce

Everyone needs a Lyndsay in their life. She may be the most expensive service I’ve ever paid for, but she has been worth every penny as the legal protection my kids needed. She’s kept them safe, advocated fiercely, and helped me navigate incredibly difficult moments with clarity and strength. She’s ...not just a lawyer—she’s like a legal best friend who knows how to hold parenting dynamics accountable and keep the focus where it belongs: on the children. I’ve always felt supported, heard, and safer with her guidance. If you’re looking for someone who will prioritize your children’s well-being and help you feel secure in the process, she’s the one to trust.

The Perfect Balance

Lyndsay Howard was an incredible attorney throughout my divorce. She struck the perfect balance between being realistic and a fierce advocate, always keeping my best interests at the forefront. She was my voice of reason when I needed it most, yet never backed down from fighting for what was fair. ... What truly set Lyndsay apart was her responsiveness and thorough attention to every aspect of my case. She made the entire process much simpler and less stressful. Beyond her legal expertise, she created a space where I could be open and honest—something I found particularly important in a same-sex divorce, where other attorneys seemed uncomfortable. With Lyndsay, there was no judgment, just unwavering support. I hope I never need an attorney again, but if I do, Lyndsay will be my first call. I can’t thank her enough for making a difficult process so much easier. Highly recommend!

Great to work with!

Lyndsay and her group are diligent, straight forward and down to earth. Lyndsay gave me peace of mind in one of the most difficult and conflicting issues I have ever had to deal with. Lyndsay understands the importance of family and her experience and focus make her the best at what she does.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
