Lindsey Schmidt stands out for her sharp analytical skills and meticulous attention to detail, which ensure that all aspects of a matter are thoroughly considered and effectively managed.

I was very, very impressed with her work. Her cross-examination was one of the best I've seen - it was very calm, but firm. She read the room, read the tribunal, and knew what to ask and what we didn't need to ask.

She did a very nice job - she was always very prepared, very thorough and also she was collegial, which is important.
