She teaches the pro se education class at Family Court. She has presented continuing education seminars for other attorneys, and she serves as Guardian ad Litem for children of divorce.
In recent years, Lindsey has worked with a growing practice in Collaborative Law. Her cases have ranged from those involving complicated business and property valuation and division to those in which the property is not extensive, but involve creative division in order to provide for a future which is fair to both parties. It has been exciting to be a part of this growing practice. While divorce and dissolution are difficult situations for most people, this process requires that people work together with their attorneys to make decisions for themselves. It can be much less expensive than litigation which can require many hours of preparation of witnesses and documents, and which puts the decisions in the hands of the judge. The process can be hard work, but it is very rewarding for the family in the long run.
Lindsey received her B.A. in religion and political science from Randolph-Macon Women's College and her J.D. from Vermont Law School in 1979. She has been in private practice her entire career in law, providing a wide ranging general practice which has included family law, civil and criminal litigation, bankruptcy, real estate, probate and estate planning.
