Great attorney

Kelso represented me in a divorce and child custody case. I was impressed with his professionalism and protection of my children's rights during the process. Kelso and Camille helped me during a difficult time in my life and to get my life back on track. I would recommend them to anyone who needs le...gal counsel.

Kelso is a great attorney and an honorable man

Kelso helped my now wife finally get out of a very unhappy marriage. It was rather a complicated case with children and a lot of assets involved. He was there for us every step of the way making sure no wrong decisions was made. He is a very knowledgeable and confident attorney that cares about his c...lients. Would definitely recommend him to anyone

Absolutey the best!! Bar None!!

To All, When I contacted Kelso Lindsay regarding my divorce, we spoke on the phone for about 10 minutes, right away I knew Mr. Lindsay was a compassionate Attorney that was very knowledgeable and concerned. He asked me to come to his office, I said I would meet him there. Upon my arrival his paraleg...al Tara was very professional and attentive. Kelso and I met and I'm sure he knew he had an emotionally charged client! Mr. Lindsay and Tara were absolutely the best thru the entire process of my divorce and the 2 protection orders that were fraudulent. Mr. Lindsay is a very protective lawyer for his clients. Mr. Lindsay protected me and my concerns from a predator that would stop at nothing to demoralize and devalue me to protect her lies. Mr. Lindsay and his paralegal Tara is the best there is!!!! Mr. Lindsay is a pillar of a man that anyone can trust, he is caring, compassionate, genuine, and without hesitation, above all Mr. Lindsay has a big heart and is deeply concerned with his client. In my life I have seen very few Attorney's in action in a court room. However, Mr. Lindsay in a court room is a "Beast" he certainly knows his way around a court room and his professional etiquette is awe inspiring to say the least. Anyone seeking an Attorney in Idaho, need not look any farther, Mr. Lindsay is absolutely the best Attorney! Hopefully, I will never need an Attorney again, however if I do J. Kelso Lindsay is the only Attorney I will ever call. There are not enough words in the English dictionary that could pay enough accolades to such a stellar man!!!! Tara Bowden is without doubt an awesome knowledgably paralegal her integrity is just Mr. Lindsay it is unparalleled. Simply put these two are the best!!! Sincerely, Vance.

Finally a divorce

Finally, after being shrugged off by multiple Attorneys and spending the two years prior attempting to get my then ‘out of state’ husband to sign the paperwork I had drawn up for our divorce (at $250 a pop) only for him to throw them away, I Finally found Kelso Lindsay! Much to my Surprise surprise M...r. Lindsay was genuinely listening to my struggles and truly wanted to help me resolve them so that I might move forward with my life. Then there it was....... Finally a Divorce! Thank you Kelso Lindsay!

Positive and easy to work with

Very impressed with how easy he is to talk to and work with. He is not a pushy rude attorney in the least bit. Very willing to work with financial situations to help make things possible. As a divorce and child custody attorney I really enjoyed working with him. I would certainly use him again!!

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"As opposing counsel on a matter, it was a pleasure to work with Mr. Lindsay. While of course working as a vigorous advocate for his clients, Mr. Lindsay exhibited high standards of ethics and professional courtesy throughout our case, and was willing to work to a successful resolution in mediation rather than trial. It was a pleasure working with him."
