My legal Hero!!

There isn’t enough ways to express my thanks to this incredible woman!!! She has become my hero!!! I thought I was going to literally lose my mind, trying to prepare for my Divorce from my ex. There were so many things going through my mind, were my forms right and did I include everything that I was... supposed to??!! Then along came Lindsey Bannerman… like a miracle, she appeared out of nowhere. One of my best friends recommended that I contact her and that she was an exceptional family law attorney. So, I did!!! It was the best advice I’ve ever received. She was everything my friend said she was, and more. When she took my case it was it was such a huge relief. She is so warm and caring, and yet so professional at what she does. Her legal assistant contacted me and the ball was literally rolling!! If you need someone to help you legally, and you want the best?? Please, please, contact her through the Law Offices of Lindsey A. Bannerman Thank you for listening, and letting me tell you about a woman that helped me so much this year, by throwing me a life raft… when I needed it the most.

Paternity Action

Mrs. Bannerman and her staff assisted my family with a complex paternity action. The mother and father are deceased. She was able to establish paternity by using the brother and half sister. We would not of been able to establish this without her assistance.

I Thought There Was No Hope For My Situation!

In 2019 I was forced into a guardianship battle for my 3 children do to my unhealthy habits and life style. From the moment the guardianship happened I decided I needed to make a huge life change and I started working on myself and situation to be able to bring my kids home to me. As I did everything... that was Iasked to do and then some it seemed like I was not getting anywhere. So I decided it was time to reach out for help and I found Lindsay Bannerman who took my case and guided and explained every step that was taking place and how to go about it. Within a short time I'm happly able to say my children get to come home!!!
