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!

Wonderful Lawyer

Very knowledgeable, caring, and straight forward attorney. Have recommended her to others and will continue to recommend her to anyone that needs these services. Lyndsay helped me with some post-divorce custody issues and advocated for my best interests as well as the best interests of all my childre...n. She knew what avenues would be best for us and always explained why. I cannot express how much I appreciate Lyndsay and her thoughtfulness during this time of my life. Thank you

Best Attorney Ever!

There are so many words to use to describe how amazing she is. She was/is my attorney for my divorce. She goes above and beyond in service. She is thoughtful, understanding and very prompt to return phone calls and emails. I knew if I had a questions or concerns she would get back to me quickly and I... knew that even if it was a silly question she would treat it with respect and give me the information I needed to feel better about what was going on. I would completely recommend her to anyone! I have so much respect for her and trust her completely!

Excellent family law attorney

I worked with Lyndsay Howard for my divorce and she represented my best interests as well as the best interests of my children. Lyndsay is very knowledgeable and I trusted her advice. She got me through a very nasty divorce, a tense mediation, as well as some post-divorce issues that my ex attempte...d to come after me for. We came out on top every time. Lyndsay is an excellent family law attorney and I would recommend her to anyone.

MS LYNDSAY HOWARD SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR THE SUPER-LAWYERS OF MINNESOTA!!

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.)

  • 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.
