To All,
When I contacted Kelso Lindsay regarding my divorce, we spoke on the phone for about 10 minutes, right away I knew Mr. Lindsay was a compassionate Attorney that was very knowledgeable and concerned. He asked me to come to his office, I said I would meet him there. Upon my arrival his paralegal Tara was very professional and attentive. Kelso and I met and I'm sure he knew he had an emotionally charged client! Mr. Lindsay and Tara were absolutely the best thru the entire process of my divorce and the 2 protection orders that were fraudulent. Mr. Lindsay is a very protective lawyer for his clients. Mr. Lindsay protected me and my concerns from a predator that would stop at nothing to demoralize and devalue me to protect her lies. Mr. Lindsay and his paralegal Tara is the best there is!!!! Mr. Lindsay is a pillar of a man that anyone can trust, he is caring, compassionate, genuine, and without hesitation, above all Mr. Lindsay has a big heart and is deeply concerned with his client. In my life I have seen very few Attorney's in action in a court room. However, Mr. Lindsay in a court room is a "Beast" he certainly knows his way around a court room and his professional etiquette is awe inspiring to say the least. Anyone seeking an Attorney in Idaho, need not look any farther, Mr. Lindsay is absolutely the best Attorney! Hopefully, I will never need an Attorney again, however if I do J. Kelso Lindsay is the only Attorney I will ever call. There are not enough words in the English dictionary that could pay enough accolades to such a stellar man!!!! Tara Bowden is without doubt an awesome knowledgably paralegal her integrity is just same as Mr. Lindsay it is unparalleled. Simply put these two are the best!!! Sincerely, Vance.

I cannot tell you enough how much I enjoyed working with Kelso and his paralegal Tara. Kelso was great in helping me navigate a very complex and difficult custody and jurisdictional case. He does not sugarcoat the issue and prepares you for the reality of your situation so that you can move forward with the necessary tools and certainty that you can weather your case, whatever the outcome. I would highly recommend Kelso for any of your family law needs.

If I could give a higher star I would. This man is the best lawyer we've ever had. He fought for our adoption case of my step son. He is very knowledgeable and just an all around great man. Thank you again Kelso for all your hard work.

How do you describe Kelso? He is a mix of a really easy going guy who knows everything will be just fine, and the guy who will tell you EVERYTHING you don't want to hear. At first, this didn't make me feel great, however, I had to come to accept that what he was doing was being brutally honest. He wasn't going to lie to me to make me feel better, and that is exactly what I needed.

He was also great at taking the fear out of the the other attorney and their loud tantrums. When I knew he could handle that person and knew how to work around their overreactions, I began to trust that I wasn't on the losing end at all, but rather on the side that would get through this process with head held high and knowing I didn't lower to their pettiness.

Already past my divorce, Kelso came into my situation when we realized mediation didn't answer all of the questions or solve all of the problems in our divorce. He gave me many hard truths but that came from his extensive experience in being a judge as well as studying the way our local judges typically side. He also helped to counsel me in my personal actions so that I was making the best decisions for my child and not letting my anger or hurt blind me.

By the end, my ex and I had each lost some battles and won some battles, but ultimately Kelso helped me keep my head on straight and got me through the process with far fewer scars than I expected.

I genuinely appreciate all of the patience, support and tolerance Kelso showed me and I would gladly recommend him to others.

I’m very satisfied with the results Mr. Lindsay negotiated for me. He was very professional and on top of the details. I hope this is my last review of him.

Kelso and his assistant Tara were amazing! They both fought for me and looked past my mistakes to see the person I am now. In the end Kelso was able to reunite my oldest daughter and I despite the other parties outlandish lies and was even able to get the opposing party to admit he was untruthful while being on the stand! Even though this was a very difficult and stressful time for me I was able to pull threw because of this law office believing in me and not backing down, I am eternally grateful! Love them both ❤️

Kelso and Tara helped me through a really rough divorce. They were both very professional and helpful along the way. Kelso might tell you things you don’t like to hear, but it is in the best interest of your case. Very good natured people!

Mr. Kelso is the best. We hired him to represent my family. After talking to him on the phone, we knew he was the right fit for my husband and I. I have been to family court numerous times in the past, sometimes with an attorney and sometimes with out. We are so thankful we had mr. Kelso on our side. He was so up front telling us we could do this on our own or hire him to help us through it. Yes, I know we could have done this alone, but the piece of mind knowing he would stand up for us and deliver the facts and protect us in this stressful time is PRICELESS. He is worth EVERY PENNY. He knows the law inside and out. He also has a great sense of humor, which in stressful times really can lighten the mood. Tara the paralegal in the front office is a great teammate as well. She's smart and kind. We are so thankful we decided to hire a lawyer for this matter and that we literally hired the best. Mr. Kelso knows his way around the courtroom. I'm hoping we never have to hire another lawyer in the future, however if we do... you know it will only be the best..... and that is definitely Mr. Kelso. From the bottom of my heart..... Thank you Mr. Kelso for having mine and my husband's back in the court room 150%. I will make sure to tell everyone here to not waste their time with interviewing others. I did the research for everyone. Mr. Kelso is the Best of the Best!!!

Kelso helped my now wife finally get out of a very unhappy marriage. It was rather a complicated case with children and a lot of assets involved. He was there for us every step of the way making sure no wrong decision was made. He is a very knowledgeable and confident attorney that cares about his clients. Would definitely recommend him to anyone

It was nice to have a lawyer listen to what you had to say and lay out how best to go about it. He showed passion for my case as well as his paralegal Tara. Both were very empathetic and always there for me to answer any questions I had.
I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is going through a divorce.
Thanks to you both.

Kelso is an incredibly gifted attorney and a kind, compassionate man. I interviewed a couple of attorneys before choosing Kelso. I chose him because I could tell immediately that he was truly interested in helping me through my divorce and making sure that received the best settlement possible. I can honestly say I would not have made it through my divorce without him. Anytime I called him with even the smallest question or concern he not only answered my phone call personally but took the time to give me a thorough answer. Kelso was there for me every step of the way. He could tell how scared I was to be in the same room with my ex for the mediation and insisted that we conduct it in separate rooms with the mediator going back and forth. It was all the little things like that made it so much easier for me to get through all of it. I would absolutely recommend Kelso for any situation that you need an outstanding, knowledgeable attorney and compassionate advocate representing you.

Absolutely amazing! I had a pretty unique case regarding custody and child support for my one year old son. In my case, the father lived in Idaho and I was living in Florida. Kelso was very caring and compassionate about my particular case. I could tell that he genuinely wanted what was best for my son and I will be forever grateful. He definitely did his research and I could not have felt more confident going into court. I was very satisfied with the outcome. I am allowed to continue living in Florida with my son and the father gets visitation for four weeks per year. I highly recommend him!

Kelso is a great choice! He helped me with my child custody case. He answered everyone of my questions and when we were talking I could tell I had his full attention. My only "negative" feed back would be that he didn't always answer my calls right away but he did get back to me within a day or two. I will definitely be calling him again if I need to go back to court!

Kelso helped me through a tough divorce and I am very satisfied with his work. He is very personable, knowledgeable, straight forward and reassuring about the process. His immense experience made me feel well taken care of when it came time to mediate and am very happy with the results. I will not hesitate to go to him for future legal matters and feel that I not only gained a lawyer but a friend.

When in need of a lawyer you can trust and count on, J. Kelso Lindsay is just that. Mr. Lindsay is a lawyer that will be on your side from day one. He takes the most complex, cases and is very articulate with how he represents his clients, never leaving them in the dark and open to every option possible. I found Mr. Lindsay to be very caring and sensitive towards my needs in how he handled my case. His professionalism always left me feeling confident whenever I was in doubt of my situation. I am very satisfied in how he has handled my case and would recommend him to anyone that needs an outstanding lawyer that goes above and beyond to get the job done with integrity.

I have had many attorneys due to my ex-husband. Each attorney did their best to help. Kelso, however, did more than just help. He understood the issues and completely went to bat 100% for my kids and myself. He was not only my attorney, he was my counselor and confidant as well. He knows the law WELL and knows how the judges will react, so he can prep his case to benefit you! Best attorney in CDA hands down!

Kelso is a top notch attorney. He has experience that shows in the way he presents you with your potential outcome and with my case, every thing he said would happen, did happen. Trust in his firm, follow his guidance, and you will be glad you chose him. I would highly recommend him.

Kelso Lindsay is highly professional and articulate as well as personable and caring. His obvious legal expertise and credibility lets you know he is on your side and you have help when you really need it! He actually answers and returns phone calls and makes time for YOU! He is an attorney with a heart and his assistance was invaluable to us. This guy is one smart cookie. He really enjoys his work and he is very, very good at it! Great job! Thank you Kelso!

Kelso worked hard against a really corrupt court system in Idaho county Grangeville ID. He did everything possible to help me. He was supportive and knowledgeable.

First of all, Kelso's is a knowledgeable expert of the law. He finds case law and history (and really loves doing this!) that set a major precedence in my case. His research took the teeth out of the other side's pit-bull attorney and brought their side back to mother earth. Kelso took on a nasty family law case, and by his wonderful abilities, brought about a reasonable settlement.

Kelso was very accurate in his feelings for the case outcome. No predications mind you, just good knowledgeable law abilities. His fees are fair for what he performed and he is generally available, unlike most other lawyers. He answers the phone and his general ease of nature is most comforting and reassuring!
