Why Choose Poppy Legal Group?

If you're looking for a family law attorney, things are probably stressful enough now.  You don’t need the added stress of having no idea whether any attorney can help, or of not being sure whether you’ve found that person.

I'm Lindsey E. Egan, family attorney at Poppy Legal Group in Manchester-by-the-Sea, MA.  My job is to combine 3 parts legal expertise and 1 part “mama bear” to accomplish what you need for your family.

That’s the high-level overview of who I am and how I practice. I’ve spent years building a reputation for thoughtful strategy, strong advocacy, and meaningful results for the people I represent. (If you haven’t already, I invite you to take a moment to read what past clients have shared about their experiences working with Poppy Legal Group.)

Other attorneys can deliver results, too.  So here is a non-exhaustive list of specific additional reasons you might decide I’m the attorney your family needs now:

1: I focus on all of family law - all of it.

I've spent over a decade practicing family law here on the North Shore, and I've been recognized five years running as one of Boston Magazine's Top-Rated Divorce & Family Law Attorneys. I know how to navigate the system and fight for your interests.

Many so-called family attorneys spend just about all of their time and energy on divorce.  Can divorce be part of the solution to some problems?  Of course.  But any responsible attorney will be equally interested and able to help you figure out solutions before, after, or instead of a divorce.

"Lindsey Egan quite literally saved our lives. I had another attorney previously who simply couldn’t get the job done. I was in court for 7+ years trying to protect my child. After bringing Lindsey on board the entire case was completed in about a year's time, with a positive outcome! Lindsey is knowledgeable, kind, and exactly the kind of person you NEED on your team. I could never put into words my gratitude for Egan law. If you are seeking an attorney, there is simply no one better.” - Sarah Flores

2: I handle your case personally.

When you hire Poppy Legal Group, you're hiring me, Lindsey, not a team of junior associates or a rotating cast of attorneys du jour. I handle your case from start to finish. You'll have my attention and commitment. No hand-offs, no surprises, and no wondering who's working on your case and looking out for your family.

3: We probably have some major experiences in common.

At first you’ll know me as your attorney, but soon you may also learn I’m the parent of two daughters, a step-parent, and the daughter of divorced parents.  We both understand the messy, complicated, personal nature of the family.  I’m just here to help you with the legal avenues.

4: My advice is plain English, not verbal fineprint.

I don’t like henceforths, heretofores, and forthwiths any more than you do.  The law can be confusing enough.  Your attorney should make your legal position clearer, not foggier.  I’ll always take the time to explain things so you know your options, what each one means, and why it matters.  With me you can expect straightforward explanations that help you make the right choice for the right reasons.

"I cannot say enough about the unsurpassed support and legal expertise we received working with Egan Law Center. Setting up a living trust, Lindsey made everything straightforward and easy to understand which put both myself and my mother at ease, especially thinking and deciding on some sensitive decisions. Lindsey was amazing working with, she is so knowledgeable and well versed in ‘anything’ legal! I trust what Lindsey says and that's hard to find in this day and age." - K.R. Manning

5: My services aren’t “one size fits all.”

You have the option of hiring me to get completely hands-on and involved right away, or you can hire me to consult with you (as your attorney, with attorney-client privileges) to answer questions and offer suggestions for an hour, or I can help on specific paperwork, or we can figure out another arrangement that works for you.

6: You’ll hear back from me quickly, from start to finish.

Of course, other attorneys get back to you all too quickly when it’s time to hire them, but go quiet once you’re on their roster.  Then either you need to babysit them, chase them down periodically, or be left twisting in the wind.

With me, you can expect swift and thorough communication throughout your case.  Partly that’s because I have empathy.  Partly it’s also because I’m a solo attorney and need to do a good job, rather than point in opposite directions with my hands and explain, “It was that guy’s fault.”

When you reach out to me, you’ll hear back quickly, with thoughtful and attentive communication. Clients often tell me they feel heard, supported, and never left wondering where things stand, and that’s exactly how I believe communication should feel.

“What can I say about Lindsey...without hesitating she helped me out in a critical moment in my life. She is incredibly responsive, empathic and understanding. As she utilized her network to move a process along that was taking way longer than it should have, I could feel the weight of the situation lifting off my shoulders. I highly recommend her.” - Jay Salois
