Biography
About Me
As the founder of Wine Country Family Law, P.C. I understand first-hand the emotional, physical, and financial toll a family law case can take. In 2008, I founded my firm during one of the most difficult periods of my life, my own divorce. At that time, I was a newly single mom, fresh out of law school with two young boys, starting a business amid the Great Recession.
This personal experience shaped the compassionate, client-focused approach I take with every case. Through my journey, I developed a deep appreciation for the challenges individuals face during family law matters—especially divorce, child custody, and child support cases. I’m committed to helping clients navigate their own challenges with the empathy and professionalism they deserve.
Our offices proudly serve Sonoma and Mendocino County, with family law offices in Santa Rosa, Ukiah, & Petaluma, California.

Very good experience!
She was very knowledgable and very patience with me, as I didn't know anything about the process and was incredibly stressed. She went through everything step by step and helped me understand the process. She was very reasonably with her fee and didn't tack on any hidden charges which was a relief as...

Recommendation
Lindsay was very good at her job. She made me comfortable from the first meeting, and that is hard to do for me. I felt very informed and when there where questions, she would answer them right away. If she was not sure of the information she takes the extra time to find out the right answer. She is ...
