Not a Purring Kitten...

Attorney Lindsay Camandona and Para Jackie had my back! Divorce was terrifying and uncharted territory for me. I felt I had an entire team on my side and I was well taken care of and informed. The prompt responses to my questions put me at ease. These are Smart Women who know how to get a fair s...ettlement. The mediator whom Lindsay chose was great as well. Iam so thankful to have this behind me and look forward to an incredible future being free from a bad marriage. On a personal note, Lindsay is a great person and I appreciated her kindness and sense of humor when I needed it. She is tough when appropriate and I was glad for that too. Thank you Lindsay and Jackie. I’m Gona miss you!!!

Lindsay Camandona is extremely competent and a caring attorney

Lindsay Camandona is cheerful and warm, highly professional and ethical, conducting herself with grace, dignity, and good humor. She is competent, efficient, works amazingly quickly, and produces high-quality work. In the courtroom, she was absolutely relentless, but in a polite and professional way.... She anticipated and came prepared for everything thrown our way, whether it was mudslinging from the opposing side or circumstances out of our control. She memorized the content of thousands of pages worth of evidence, and during the two weeks of trial, she would bring up example after example in rapid-fire succession. It was truly impressive. Her years of experience with the Tacoma courts and her knowledge of local cases both past and ongoing have been vital as she has been navigating my case through one complication after another for the past 20 months. Lindsay works with an incredible team at McKinley Irvin in Tacoma. I especially want to thank her paralegal Jacquelynn Chaffee for her competence, responsiveness, and hard work, consistently done on time with a smile and that rogue twinkle in her eye. I also want to thank Lindsay Noel for her warmth and her indefatigable sleuthing, which was absolutely invaluable.

From out of state

We entered into a non parental custody situation for our grandchildren who lived in WA for 18 months. We live in CA and the children and lived here for most of their lives. My husband found Lindsay and suggested that I call her and as I was going to WA, I arranged a meeting. From the minute I met h...er I felt that I was in good hands. She knew the law, knew the system and has heart for the clients that she handles. We retained Lindsay within a week and the process began. To say long, scary and frustrating would be an understatement. The two states are so different in there approach and we had lots of comments, concerns and multiple, frequent questions. Never once did she or her staff make me feel as though I was a bother to them. They reassured me every step of the way, sometimes several times a day. We ended up with a continuance which was frustrating because we were staying with the children in a hotel and time kept passing. Lindsay stayed the course and allowed us to vent and calmly let us now that she was on our side. I really felt that she understood exactly what we we were feeling. I highly recommend Ms Camandona for any family law issues. She was a God send.

Would hire her again!

I worked with Lindsay Camandona and have since referred her to multiple friends and colleagues. My divorce took a little over three months from the time I met her until the time that it was finalized. I was very satisfied with the outcome of the divorce and I came out further ahead than I would hav...e if I didn't have an attorney involved. Lindsay responds in a very timely manner. I worked directly with her the majority of the time. She is knowledgeable and always provided me with realistic information. Divorce is an emotional process and Lindsay recognizes this and yet stays focused on the outcome at the same time. I found Lindsay online (on this website!) and chose her based on the reviews I read and I am glad that I did. If I had to do it all over again (thankfully I don't!) I would hire Lindsay again in a heartbeat.

Excellent representation

Lindsay was stellar - everything I needed during a very painful and confusing time. Her legal advice was on point and she was always incredibly responsive and thorough. I asked a million questions over the course of almost a year, and she very patiently answered every single one (sometimes multiple... times). She was able to help me maintain a sense of calm during some very stressful financial negotiations and parenting issues. I highly recommend her to anyone considering or going through a divorce.
