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.

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."
