Lindsey Easterling is an attorney and owner of Easterling Law, PLLC, a collaborative divorce and family law firm located in Matthews, North Carolina. Since establishing her practice in 2015, she has focused on providing client-centered legal representation that prioritizes individual needs over traditional billable-hour demands. Licensed to practice in both Michigan and North Carolina, LIndsey focuses on divorce, collaborative divorce, child custody, domestic violence, prenuptial agreements, and complex family law matters, including cases involving narcissistic tendencies. She emphasizes collaborative approaches that help families resolve disputes outside the courtroom whenever possible, reduce conflict, and protect children from the emotional impact of contentious legal proceedings. She began her legal career providing services to low-income individuals and advocating for domestic violence survivors before transitioning to private practice. Her commitment to accessible, compassionate representation continues to shape how she serves clients. Lindsey earned her Juris Doctor (J.D.) from Cooley Law School in 2009 after completing her undergraduate studies in sociology with a concentration in criminal justice at Central Michigan University. Her early legal experience included work with Legal Services of South Central Michigan, where she assisted clients with family law matters, protection orders, and other legal challenges. She also served as a staff attorney, providing comprehensive legal services to low-income residents across five Michigan counties and gaining extensive experience in litigation, legal research, client counseling, and case strategy. A member of the Mecklenburg County Bar Association and the Mecklenburg Collaborative Law Group, Lindsey remains engaged in the legal community and supports approaches that encourage constructive communication and practical solutions. She attributes her success to surrounding herself with other women business owners and trusting her instincts when making business decisions and determining how best to treat her clients. She has built a practice that reflects these values, including an all-female team and an 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. work schedule designed to support work-life balance for attorneys with families. Beyond her legal practice, Lindsey is committed to community service and expanding access to essential resources. She serves on the board of Mind the Gap, a Charlotte-based nonprofit that connects teens, young adults, and families with trusted mental health resources. Through this work, she supports efforts to make mental health information and services more accessible to young people and their caregivers. Her professional accomplishments have earned recognition, including the American Institute of Family Law Attorneys' 10 Best Female Attorney for Client Satisfaction distinction and recognition as a Legal Elite for Family Law by Business North Carolina magazine. Outside of work, Lindsey enjoys traveling with family and friends, skiing, hiking, and spending quality time with her two kids and her husband. Her professional and personal commitments reflect her dedication to family, community, and creating a supportive environment for both her clients and her team.
