“Lindsay walked our family through the fire with competence, courage, and relentless resolve. Her communication and unwavering expertise helped ease the enormous fear we felt as parents watching our son go through the most challenging time of his life. As promised, she left no stone unturned and held our son’s school accountable for treating BOTH sides with fairness and respect. The investigation ended in his favor, and his life is finally moving forward again. We would not be here without Lindsay.”
