Lindsey experienced her parents’ awful divorce when she was a child, and she saw how it negatively affected both of her parents, her siblings, and herself. Because of that experience, she wanted to practice family law. The first five years of her practice was almost solely divorce and custody litigation. Again, she saw the legal battle and inner battles that her clients and their families were going through; the most concerning part was how awful these battles were for the kids. This is not a process or experience she would wish on anyone.

When Lindsey opened Easterling Law in Charlotte, she wanted to focus on a different approach to family law cases for her clients. The law is always a focus in their cases, but she believes the law is the lowest standard of conduct. She believes they can do better for families in creating resolutions that fit their specific needs. It is her hope that processes like Collaborative Law can help families transition from the title of Husband and Wife while remaining Mom and Dad forever.

Lindsey is also a certified mediator. She recognizes that sometimes, families just need an intermediary to help them communicate in a healthy and productive way. This is great for families that need to set aside time in their day to finalize a resolution on issues that they may not be able to do on their own.

Although it feels odd for her to list her accomplishments, Lindsey understands that clients want to know the reputation she has created in the Charlotte community. She has received many awards and accolades over the years. Some of those include but are not limited to, Top 40 under 40 Lawyers from the National Trial Lawyers, Top 10 Attorneys and Practices as a Family Law Attorney, and recognition as one of the Top 10 Best Attorneys for Client Satisfaction from the American Institute of Family Law Attorneys. She has also been recognized as one of Expertise’s Best Divorce Lawyers in Charlotte three years in a row, Business North Carolina’s Legal Elite three years in a row, and has received Super Lawyers Rising Star recognition 4 years in a row.

Lindsey graduated from Thomas M. Cooley Law School in 2009, and has focused on family law since that time. Her first job was for a non-profit in Michigan called Legal Services, where she worked until she moved to Charlotte to start her family. Lindsey and her husband have one child together and he has one child from his previous marriage. They love adventuring, specifically: mountain and road biking; skiing; hiking; camping; swimming, and traveling to new countries to experience their cultures.
