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.

Good Communicator

I am an attorney, I asked other lawyer friends for a recommendation. Lyndsay was that lawyer. I wanted a lawyer to represent me who would answer my questions, give me advice and follow my lead based on her advice. I got all of that. Lyndsay, and her firm kept me informed, worked to get court date...s scheduled quickly, and kept the costs down for my family. I would highly recommend Lyndsay (and her firm).

Ms Howard was so very understanding and helpful in all aspects of my case. Her fees were very reasonable. My case was settled with a very acceptable outcome for a QDRO from my ex husband , even after my divorce had been finalized years before.

Good attorney!

I have used Lyndsay's services for over 8 years now. Obviously, I am very satisfied with the job she has done for me and my kids. It has not always been easy dealing with the ex, but Lyndsay has kept my attitude and expectations in check and based on reality. She has also allowed me to do as much ...of the work as I wanted to and was capable of, this helped me keep costs down if I could. She has always been very available to discuss my concerns, and has always been fair with her billing. Her expertise has been well utilized in my on-going saga, and I know my original choice was a good one!

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.

  • 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.
