Attentive, Detailed, and Compassionate

Lindsay has been so supportive throughout my recent case. She's helped me to navigate a very confusing process and has always pushed for my best interests. She's detailed, responsive and compassionate and I highly recommend her for any family case.

Highly Recommend

Ms. Stella has been my attorney since the start of my divorce. She has guided me, been extremely supportive through the challenges of divorce and given excellent legal advice. I would highly recommend Ms. Stella and her team.

Outstanding attorney!

MKFM Law represented me in my recent post-divorce case involving maintenance and other key financial issues. The situation was a nightmare and quite overwhelming. My attorney, Lindsay Stella, was amazing throughout my 15 month battle and in the end she guided me to a very favorable settlement witho...ut having to go to trial. I can't say enough about the knowledge, professionalism and kindness she offered. I would recommend Ms. Stella to anyone needing strong and effective legal representation.

Highly Skilled Attorney With Your Best Interest At Heart

I highly recommend Lindsay Stella. If anyone is going through a divorce, contact her. My ex was a classic narcissist (that I only discovered after we were married), and Lindsay is highly skilled at dealing with narcissists and understanding their difficult personalities. She had my best interests,... and I trusted her completely. Lindsay was always there to listen to me with my worries and concerns since divorce, especially to a narcissist, is so difficult. Lindsay is truly an out of the box thinker, and I cannot thank her enough for her help with my divorce. Some of the things Lindsay petitioned and won during my divorce proceedings were unheard of to others. While divorce is never a pleasant situation to experience, Lindsay will take care of you and is the best!

Talented Professional Attorney with a Heart!

I couldn't have asked for a better attorney than Lindsay! She is attentive, knowledgeable, patient and demonstrates strength in a respectful way of everyone involved. She is honest, fair and really made me feel cared for as a person, not just a paycheck. She worked hard for me, listening to what I re...ally cared about most and she made it happen. Her advice was practical and rational with courtesy and regard to the fact that the situation was so delicate and emotional. She continued to care after the case was closed, remembering me even over a year later when I had new questions. She is thorough and reliable, responsive and invested in each of her cases. Choosing an attorney is a very difficult task and something you never plan to have to do, but with Lindsay in your corner, she'll help get you through with compassion and most of all, results you can live with and move on! I worked with two very "reputable" and "seasoned" attorneys before her and neither could have gotten me through this process as well as she did. She is graceful, polished and poised. When you aren't feeling confident, she is and she should be because she completely came through for me and I will always be so grateful.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
