Lindsay joined Legacy Preservation Law in 2015 with a focus on probate, trust administration, and estate planning. Her compassionate approach includes listening without judgment, advising with empathy and creativity, and helping clients achieve their goals without conflict or anxiety whenever possible.
Lindsay is a Portland native who spent most of her childhood in Wisconsin, where she enjoyed playing music and spending time near the many lakes and rivers. She attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison for both undergraduate studies and law school, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in piano performance, and then a certificate to teach English as a second language. Before attending law school, she spent five years working in Portland as an English teacher and tutor of adult immigrants, and as a server at several fantastic restaurants, including the Rheinlander, where she made great friends and memories as a singing server.
Lindsay returned to UW-Madison for law school in 2007 and began her lawyering career as a student advocate and manager of the Wisconsin Unemployment Compensation Appeals Clinic. She represented many clients in administrative law hearings while also training volunteers and coordinating the efforts of supervising attorneys and student advocates.
Lindsay also became a mom of two during her law school years. With a goal of remaining flexible and present in her children’s early lives while also gaining experience in the legal profession, Lindsay worked in solo practice for three years, writing briefs for immigration attorneys, working as a contract attorney for the Wisconsin State Public Defender, and continuing to represent workers in unemployment hearings. In 2013, Lindsay also volunteered with Madison Mass Defense, a group of attorneys who successfully used the First Amendment to challenge over 250 citations issued to singers who were engaged in peaceful protests at the Wisconsin State Capitol.
Lindsay enjoys spending time with family, friends, and pets while exploring Oregon, making music, traveling, and savoring memorable meals and performances.
