With the help of attorneys and other professionals who empower them, my clients work through times of crisis and find the best possible way to reconfigure their families.”

Lindsay Nickolls’ career as a child and family advocate began during her master’s degree studies in social work at the University of Michigan. She counseled children and families using “love and logic” and other solution-focused techniques to help them deal with divorce, substance abuse, domestic violence, delinquency and other issues.

To advance her goal of becoming an advocate for families in crisis, Lindsay pursued a career in law, earning her degree from Cleveland Marshall College of Law. Subsequently, she gained experience with cases in Livingston, Washtenaw, Oakland, Wayne, and Macomb counties. Lindsay will continue to represent clients in these counties.

The combination of law and social work gives Lindsay a unique perspective on family law issues. Although she has been trained to litigate volatile divorce actions, her experience has convinced her that mediation is a more effective, less contentious forum, allowing people to come to a resolution best suited to their personal and family goals.

As both an advocate and educator, Lindsay keeps her clients informed throughout the divorce process, and also encourages her clients to ask questions and educate themselves on possible outcomes. True to her social work background, she helps parents understand their children’s viewpoint and make decisions in the best interests of their future.
