Attorney Information

Overview

Wanting her practice of law to have a positive effect on clients, Lindsay attended law school with the intent of becoming a family law attorney. As an associate at McKinley Irvin's Tacoma law office, Lindsay’s calm demeanor and bright intellect give her (and the clients she works with) the edge in attaining advantageous legal solutions in stressful situations.

Lindsay understands that each client requires a unique result to his or her own personal situation. “There are no boilerplate results in family law,” Lindsay says. “I approach family law cases with an open mind and learn as much about the client as possible.”

Because a family law case almost always results in major transformations in a person’s life, Lindsay not only seeks legal solutions for her clients, but also looks for resources that may help the client adjust to these changes.

"Practicing family law gives me an opportunity to get to know clients as individuals," says Lindsay. "I get a chance to learn what they want for their family, and then use that information to advocate for them. I like that family law allows me to help people as well as protect their legal interests."

In addition, Lindsay’s experience working with children allows her to provide good counsel to clients facing family law issues involving kids. “I can help identify results that are most appropriate for a family with young children,” she says. “Helping parents recognize how their children might react during their family law case allows us to identify ways to minimize the effects on their children.”

Lindsay is also a committed volunteer, providing family law services helping children through King County’s Family Law CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) program.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

How long have you been in practice?
How many cases like mine have you handled?
How often do you settle cases out of court?
What are your fees and costs?
What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
