A True Advocate

In 2014 I was faced with an unexpected and traumatic situation that required legal intervention. I found Lindsay Camandona's reviews on AVVO and took a chance on contacting her to help me navigate an emergency situation. What a God send. Her office was professional yet warm, responsive yet clear. ... She contacted me personally right away and quickly, concisely, walked me verbally through everything I needed to do. I had only one hour to get to court and follow her instructions and was nervous and intimidated in the midst of trauma. But she took the extra effort to email step by step instructions that I could print and take with me to court. She brought great calm to the situation. It's not an exaggeration to say that she saved the day. I was able to address a frightening situation armed with the confidence that she was guiding the process. Not only were her instructions clear and correct, I hired her two additional times for other related situations and she came through for me each of those times with the same caliber of help. She knows how to handle high-stress situations and overwhelmed, hurting people, without talking down to you or minimizing your concerns. She knows how to collect just the right amount of information in a short amount of time while still making sure you feel thoroughly heard. It's a rare talent and she's worth every penny. She and the entire staff were quick to respond, quick to follow up as things progressed and thorough to communicate what was needed at each junction. I would hire her again without hesitation.

A Dynamo

Lindsay Camandona is currently my lawyer for issues I am dealing with. She is an outstanding attorney who is extremely knowledgeable, effective and efficient, while remaining down-to-earth, warm and personable. She makes the overwhelming circumstances clients are bound to feel manageable, and provide...s clarity and realistic information which is often much-needed. I won't hesitate to recommend Lindsay to anyone in need of legal assistance, and once finished with my present issue, will continue to use her as my attorney for any future needs of my own.

Child Custody

I hired Lindsay Camandona on a child custody case several months ago. I came to her after dealing with another attorney involving a lengthy court case, with Lindsay's great work ethic and commitment to helping others she was able to turn things around for my daughter and i. Not only was she compassi...onate about her job and my daughter's well being, she took the time to listen to what was going on with the entire case and how it was affecting our family. Lindsay's a geniune person and i am truly blessed to have had her on my side. Thank you!

Divorce and Child Custody

Lindsay is an excellent divorce attorney. She guided me through a very contentious divorce. She was always one step ahead, and prepared me for an overall positive outcome to my divorce. She is quite knowledge of divorce law and the pierce county court system.

Posted by Bill | December 19, 2014

Fantastic Outcome

When we told Lindsay what our situation was she was very honest with us about what to expect. What she didn't tell us is that she is one of the most knowledgeable, hard working attorney's I have had the opportunity to work with in the last 25 years. Thanks to Lindsay my family is back together for th...e holidays. I strongly recommend her when dealing with child custody issues. Thank You Lindsay!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
