I Do not recommend this attorney!

She had my case for several years and did absolutely nothing on it! No updates,( because she didn’t do anything on the case) wouldn’t return my calls, very unprofessional . Ended up dropping the case because she was a terrible Attorney. Do not recommend her at all!

The best!

I hired Lynn back in 2009 for divorce/custody. She handled everything on time, was organized, and put the best interest of my kids ahead of everything else. 10 years later when my ex popped up out of the blue trying to come after me for money, even though I've raised the kids myself, who are now yo...ung adults, Lynn took care of everything for me again!! Would highly recommend Lynn!

Horrible!!! Don’t hire her.

Hired her for my divorce. She got all of the paper work wrong!! I was so ashamed when my spouses attorney made a fool not only of her but me too. Half of the things in my divorce papers were wrong. For one my name was wrong. In two different places. She kept charging me to redo the paper work she s...crewed up. If you loose in your divorce blame yourself for using her. And be prepared to pay 5 times more than what she said she was going to charge you.

Divorce with Children Custody Matter

I liked Lynn from the start! At my Consultation appointment, I could tell she was personable, direct and confident in her field. I knew that's what I needed! As my case went along and I did get to know her better, she showed these qualities. I was so relieved! I was emotional, vulnerable and half clu...eless. No case is guaranteed anything. Sometimes, during the process, things seemed to revert back and I felt this case was never going to end!. Lynn is head strong and would pick me back up again, plan another direction. She always has your best interest in mind and does the best for you. I absolutely, felt this way and know she was the best decision for an Attorney, I ever made for my circumstances!

I hired lynns husband first who explained he could not keep my case due to a problem which was him disbarred for awhile but first it was use her or start over with another after being 2,000 into my case so I stayed with her . she over charged could not keep staff, would not return calls and charged e...verytime I called because she did not return calls. it was a nightmare and she will say you can pay her in payments but then she will not. I would not recommend her at all she has move her office numerous times . I could not pay a bill because I could not track her down her office was shut down with no forwarding address and statements , not sent for a period of time.she may at one time been a good lawyer but her quest to get even with her husband who was a lawyer too and cheated on her is her first and above quest. a staff that worked for her said she just became worse and worse. do not hire her..... just saying. d 3/14/17
