Experience

In a post-judgment custody matter, Lynn represented a father whose former wife moved their children to a different school district without prior approval as required under their joint custody order. The court, after a lengthy trial, ruled in favor of the father, and the children remained in their excellent school system. In another matter, Lynn represented a young wife and mother in a high-stakes and highly contested divorce case. The husband went to great lengths in his attempts to minimize the marital estate and hide his numerous infidelities. After committing perjury during the trial the husband accepted a settlement that was extremely beneficial to the wife and was then ordered to pay 100 percent of the wife’s attorney and expert fees in a post-judgment ruling by the judge.

“I try to resolve my cases in an amicable and expeditious way in order to minimize the stress on my client. But if we have no choice in the matter, we are prepared to do battle in court.”
