Excellent, Professional Work

Lyndsay was more than helpful with my case. She provided professional advice which helped to reach educated decisions. Wonderful to work with and remembers that the people involved in these cases are that, human.

Awesome Attorney

Lyndsay was so easy to work with. I knew from the moment I met her that she was honest, caring and professional. She was very supportive and very level headed and what I liked most was that I didn't feel as thought she was careless about the expenses of having an attorney. She always had creative... ways to find a solution that would not get out of control and expensive. From my experience, I always knew that I could trust her. She made sure that I did not have to take on a ton of the burden with my case. When going through divorce issues, you may not be at your best. I knew I could trust Lyndsay to just do all the leg work, deal with the hard stuff, protect me and advocate for me which in turn allowed me to focus on me, my children and our healing process, a process that is so vital when going through a divorce and post divorce issues. Thank you Lyndsay for being such a strong woman, a professional and for being a trustworthy support person.

Deeply Passionate, Dedicated and knowledgeable.

In 2016 and 2017 I had two opportunities to work with Lyndsay Howard and her staff at Howard Family Law, LLC. Once as Defendant and as Plaintiff. Both were dealing with sensitive child custody issues. Family Law at best is a hard compromise in emotions and the systematic destruction and rebu...ilding of a family life. Lyndsay has the compassion to see both sides of the coin, reach across and find the compromise. Her staff is very quick to act and appear to balance their clients very well. Managing the customer's expectations to the results is an almost impossible task. Lyndsay in my experience provides the results. No counsel can ever promise to get everything you want, but you can count on Lyndsay and her group to get what is important. What is needed and what has value. And to limit the impact on the children. What Lyndsay brings to the table is a thorough understanding of the court system, the process and the fuzzy nature of this part of the Justice System. Haveing a guide through this process is a must. Lyndsay is this guide. If you're looking to seek equitable resolution and recover as much of the family as possible, I strongly suggest you endeavor to engage Howard Family Law. Lyndsay has the compassion and empathy if she takes your cause and the dedication and knowledge to see it resolved correctly. As a once Il rig fire fighter once was quoted: "If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur." R. Adair

THE best.

Lyndsay came into our case and completely turned it around for us. She gave us confidence in our positions and fought our fight as if it was personal to her. She has helped us keep things in perspective, even when it felt overwhelming. She is smart. She is good at her job, and that has made our live...s, during all of these very emotional times, infinitely better.

Thank you, Lyndsay

Lyndsay was a breath of fresh air following an excruciating trial with my previous unconcerned and unmotivated attorney. I only wish I had hired her earlier. She has worked hard to mitigate the damage from an unfavorable decision. She always takes the time and makes me feel that my case is importa...nt. Thank you!
