A true advocate on your side

I was referred to Lynne after another lawyer mismanaged the beginning process of my divorce. When I met Lynne I was immediately drawn to her straightforward and professional demeanor. Lynne is intelligent, compassionate and legitimately cares about her clients. She takes pride in her work, which is ...apparent from her attention to detail. She was never dismissive of my situation and always made me feel comfortable. Lynne not only had my best interest in mind, but she was also looking out for my future. I trusted her explicitly during this difficult situation. Lynne and her team always followed through to the last detail, communicated and explained everything that was going on in my case. Her and her staff were always quick to respond to all of my requests/concerns. When you are going through an incredibly emotional and stressful situation, it makes things more manageable when you find an attorney who is extremely knowledgeable, dedicated and amazingly supportive. She is someone I would call a friend. I would highly recommend Lynne without hesitation to anyone, especially a close friend or family member.

Very Professional

Lynne helped me on my custody case, and was amazingly professional. She is extremely knowledgeable and very professional. I would recommend Lynne in a heartbeat! I love her passion and demeanor.

You want her on your side

I had a very challenging case and found Lynne after another lawyer completely mismanaged and nearly ruined my chances of a fair outcome. Within five minutes of meeting Lynne I felt in capable hands. She is informed, a professional and excellent in court. She cares and you feel safe and supported duri...ng very trying times. I wouldn't use anyone else.

I wouldn't retain anyone else.

When it comes to legal matters involving children, it is absolutely imperative to have the right attorney by your side. Lynne Weitzel is as good as they come. My case was a high-conflict case and Lynne handled it with care and ease. Not only was she knowledgeable and prepared, she was very concern...ed with my well being, and more importantly, the well being of my young daughter. Lynne's paperwork was prompt and prepared with fact and finesse. Her abilities, both from her office, and in the courtroom, substantially exceeded my expectations. I am a firm believer in that "you get what you pay for", and Lynne's services were worth every penny, ten fold. She was prepared, punctual and professional throughout every step of the way. Most times, you hear horror stories about attorney's and their ways of practicing. This is not the case with Lynne. She was readily available, reassuring, honest and straightforward. As a client, I was probably more worrisome than most, and she never made me feel as though I was bothersome. She was prompt in her responses to my requests, correspondence from the opposing party and requests from the courts. Her responses, both in writing and verbally, were articulate and to the point. Lynne truly kept my daughter's best interest at heart, and in the end, I knew my daughter was safe. Over the last 6 years, I have seen several attorney's practicing family law and am yet to see one who handles such difficult matters as well as Lynne. I would absolutely recommend Lynne to anyone who needs the services of a GREAT family law attorney. In fact, I couldn't honestly recommend anyone else.

Helpful and Efficient

I had the pleasure of working with Lynne and her Staff last year. She handled my divorce and was not only helpful and efficient, but very supportive as well. Lynne made my misfortune a lot easier to understand and was able to protect my interests for many years to come. I couldn't give her enough p...raise for all that she did.
