Great lawyer

Engaged and concerned are the qualities that Ms Dowd exemplified at every step of the process. Helped to make a tough situation easier. Reasonable fees and a genuine concern for us as people not just clients. We would recommend 100% of the time.

The Best Real Estate Lawyer!

Contrary to wha t my realtor told me, that I had a simple contract and should therefore higher the cheapest lawyer, my neighbors used Ms. Dowd, who prides herself not not being the cheapest lawyer; and we all kinds of issues arise as the deal progressed. Ms. Dowd worked through the problems and got i...t done. We love our new home and would not trust anyone else.

Great lawyer

I highly recommend Lynn Dowd to handle the sale of any home. My buyers tried to force concessions at the closing table, but Lynn Dowd calmly handled the situation; kept us focused on moving forward and the deal closed! I would not trust anyone else with such an important transaction.

Really smart attorney

Lynn Dowd has represented us in a real estate transaction that everyone thought would be simple, but became very complex. She navigated the parties to a successful conclusion by focusing on the facts, by developing a creative solution for all, and by tamping down frustrations. I highly recommend Ms.... Dowd.

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.
