SHES BRILLIANT!

From the very moment I called her office I had a pleasant experience! It seems to be a trend with law firms after reading several reviews that the front desk people are short and rude at law firms. However, every single call I made to her office i was pleasantly surprised that the front desk woman ac...tually sounded like she loved her job and wanted to help! It was a breath of fresh air. I was suffering from severe anxiety and panic attacks due to my child custody case and being taunted by my child’s other parent, I was at risk of losing custody of my child… every parents worst nightmare. I knew I needed a lawyer right away because I wasn’t able to mentally handle the stress of representing myself to the claims that my child’s other parent was claiming. I previously had a lawyer who was clearly only worried about the money and brushed me off after getting my retainer. I started looking for another lawyer and had a consultation with Chantyl Vasquez, she was great and you could hear the genuineness in her tone, she was not able to take my case because she already had a hearing at the same time so she referred me to Lindsay. I was not able to talk to Lindsay right away which was fine because after speaking with Chantyl I knew I found the right firm, in addition to Lindsay having an extra credential in family law. The day after retaining services I spoke with Breanna (Lindsay’s paralegal), and she assisted with my response declaration, she was patient and knowledgeable. I was able to talk with Lindsay a few days prior to my court date to prepare. Lindsay heard me out, did research on claims, and prepared me for the best and worst case scenario. From the moment I was walking into the court house Lindsay called me to let me know she was there, she had already checked in with the clerk and there was new information and told me exactly where to meet her. She was in complete control from beginning to end. That made this entire situation so much easier, if your reading this you know the thought of you losing rights to your child is equivalent to having your heart ripped out of your chest. At no point was I wondering what was going to happen next, she kept me in the loop the entire time. She was assertive in the court room and with the petitioners attorney and did not back down, SHE IS FIERCE! From the moment I sat down with her I knew she came to win and my worries were out the window. She came to win and that’s exactly what she did! I cannot stress enough please do not waste your time with any other family attorney, she will represent you and fight for you like she is there for her own child. I also want to mention I was able to watch Chantyl in action prior to my hearing and she is a amazing too. I really had to hold back from hugging Lindsay she handled my case so flawlessly. I cannot thank her enough!

Courage

Lindsay's knowledge, experience, and ability to communicate has given me the confidence to overcome many hurdles that I lacked the strength to do on my own. Her solution oriented strategies and positive attitude has kept me from giving up and having hope that I have an advocate who will strive for w...hat is best. My greatest appreciation goes out to her and her team.

Helpful during a really hard time

Lindsay helped me with a child custody case that was very difficult--especially since my co-parenting partner was not the least bit interested in working together or compromising. We began with informal discussions and ended up taking it all the way to a court hearing. The experience was brutal, but ...my experience with Lindsay was completely positive. My first impression, and one that lasted, was how Lindsay was always interested and engaged. She listened to me fully and always waited to hear all of the details before helping decide on the best plan for action. When I tried to call her for any reason, big or small, I always got through or received a call-back the same day. She was also very knowledgable and always flexible. Lindsay always looked ahead saw and all of the options available. When we discussed options for our case, she always explained all these different possibilities in a way that was easy to understand. She never simply decided on one approach ("let’s take it to court”) then stuck to it. She was open at all times and all stages of the process to looking at the problem with fresh eyes and thinking of new possible solutions. Maybe most importantly, working with Lindsay was open and collaborative. I aways felt that I was involved in the decisions and I had the final say in decision-making. We would talk out options and together decide the best one. I never felt pushed into a decision. I always had enough time and help to create the best plan for my own needs. Working with her made a difficult process much easier.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"The most effective and efficient attorneys engage opposing counsel with respect and confidence. They fight hard, always being prepared, having meticulously done their homework before any court appearance, or even telephone call to the other side. Ms. Metzinger is that attorney. Knowing that she is on the other side of a case means knowing that I will face a tenacious, yet respectful attorney who will do everything in her power to fight for her client. I would highly recommend her to all seeking legal help in any family law matter."
