Thankful to have found Lynn!

Lynn was referred to me by a friend of a friend after I was in a serious car accident caused by an uninsured, negligent driver. We spoke via phone a number of times, and she took the time to research the background of the parties involved and to develop a plan of action for me which was clear, concis...e, and achievable. I can’t stress enough how thankful I was for her advice and expertise at a time when I really needed an advocate. She was there for me at no charge.

Known Lynn for years and always excellent.

I have known Lynn as an attorney for about 25 years and have used her personally as well as having referred friends and family to her on several occasions. She is incredibly competent, responsive and knowledgeable.

Kind, thorough, honest, and considerate

I was in a difficult spot legally and Lynn took the time to look up the case and provide me with solid legal advice, even though that meant referring someone else and not hiring her. We spent a long time together during our consultation and she was only ever kind, honest, and considerate.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"When I had my first civil trial as a solo practitioner I had a LOT of questions. Lynn was one of the attorneys more experienced than me that I turned to for advice because of her background in civil litigation. She quickly understood the nuances and complexities of my case and talked through them with me, which helped me immensely in my trial preparation. Today I remain impressed with the diversity of her expertise and experience. While her practice currently focuses on personal injury, but her abilities extend far beyond. Also, she is an upstanding, ethical person who fights hard for her clients!"
