If you want the best you want Lyndsay

Being a newly single mom of a two year old, I didn’t know where to go to or what to do. And everyone just told me that I should go through the state and everything will be fixed. I was not confident that I could just go in alone to fight for my sons rights. I looked at lawyers all over to hire and Ly...ndsay was the one I found in that sea of mayhem and stress. She always told me how things were and what I can do and what would benefit myself and my son. She always made a point to just be frank about the situation and let me know what I needed to do to be prepared for every step and make sure I was comfortable. Some people say I was crazy to hire a lawyer vs find one for free. But, my son is worth it and Lyndsay was worth it. Her knowledge and attention made me feel that my son was going to get what he deserved no matter the empty threats against us. I would recommend her to any single parent who wants what is best for their child. She will make sure to get you there and be prepared. I am so grateful to her.

Top-Notch

Lyndsay checks all the boxes you're looking for in a Family Law attorney. She is a results-oriented problem-solver, she takes the time to listen to and understand what her clients need, and she is easy to talk to. When I came to her, I had a lot of anxiety due to how complicated my situation was. Lyn...dsay worked with me to identify and clarify my goals, she helped prevent me from making bad or questionable decisions along the way, and proposed alternate solutions for consideration that I hadn't known were possible until she suggested them. She is also very good at coaching people at how to make certain compromises while still achieving your ultimate goals. Lyndsay really looks out for her clients. You can't always control the results of how your individual case is going to go, but with Lyndsay you can definitely count on having exceptional legal representation.

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!

Strong advocate for her clients

I worked with Lyndsay to respond to an attempt to change custody. Lyndsay was a voice of reason in the middle of a lot of conflict. She helped us to navigate everything and fought hard to see that my rights as a parent were protected. I was very happy to have her as my advocate.
