Child Custody

I went in to consult with Lindsay after a very difficult breakup with the father of my child. I was in need of his services in a short amount of time but Lindsay took his knowledge and found a way for it to work. He was caring enough to provide me with other options even if those options meant referr...ing me to another attorney. Through out the time he worked on my case he was very easy to talk to and very quick to respond to all my questions. He was always very honest when answering my questions. I appreciated that because it allowed to me to feel confident and secure during the process. Lindsay, showed understanding and empathy to my specific situation. I can tell he has a heart for the job that he does. I would defiantly recommend him as a lawyer and would use him again if needed in the future.

First day of my new life

Lindsay is an out standing person, When I first met Lindsay he made me feel at ease, ( My case was a divorce) Our first meeting was a consult he walked me through what could or couldn't happen in my case as well as what his fees would be, My case was simple no real property to fight over a 401K to d...ivide and how much spousal support she should would receive. We met with petitioner and her attorney at some point to go over everything, As the meeting progressed Mr. Soto made it clear that we would not except what they wanted in the settlement, Mr. Soto ended the settlement conference knowing we have a better chance going to court it was just out off the question on what they wanted. I met Mr. Soto one other time and discussed our options, He told me what he thought the court would do, So we made an offer to them on what I thought could work for me. They excepted the offer Thank you Mr. Soto for helping me get through all this, I'm hoping I don't need an attorney in the future but if I do you'll be the first one I call.

Divorce /Child Support

Several years ago when I begin my divorce I felt confident in completing the paperwork. However, I wanted to have an attorney to review the paperwork with me to make sure it was filed correctly and give me any options I may want to consider. A friend of mind had hired Lindsay Soto to assist her with ...her divorce several years prior and recommended him. I found Lindsay Soto to be very personable. He was always quick to respond to me. He could communicate with me in a way I could understand. And best of all he was considered of my time and costs. Recently I spoke with him about child support issues. He was quick to respond to my request for information and very helpful. I feel that Lindsay Soto is a professional attorney that I can trust!

Grandparents answer for help

I am a grandparent that is very happy that I found Lindsay Soto. Lindsay is the type of Lawyer that takes your case because he believes you are in the right. He does not just take your case for the money. Lindsay handled a Custody case for me. My grandsons and I have worked with Lindsay for 1 ...½ years. Lindsay did not once waiver. One evening I was up worried and thinking, so I sent Lindsay an email about 11:30pm, thinking he would have it first thing the next morning. About 10 minutes later, I received a response from Lindsay. I have never heard of any lawyer doing that for a client. If you want someone to listen to you, tell you what he thinks you should do and then together you come up with a plan, Lindsay is the Lawyer you need to contact. Contact Lindsay, trust in him, he is always looking out for your best interest.
