Lindsay A. McKillop
New Jersey Family Law & Civil Litigation Attorney
Lindsay A. McKillop represents individuals and businesses in New Jersey's state and federal courts across two distinct practice areas: complex family law and civil litigation. Whether a client is navigating a high-conflict divorce, a custody dispute, or a commercial lawsuit, Lindsay's approach centers on building genuine trust, because she understands that her clients come to her at some of the most difficult moments of their lives.
Why Clients Choose Lindsay
Lindsay brings direct judicial insight to every matter she handles. Before entering private practice, she served as a judicial law clerk to the Honorable Judith S. Charny, a Superior Court Judge in both the Family Part and the Criminal Division in Camden County. That experience — watching how judges assess cases, weigh evidence, and make decisions in both family and civil matters — informs every case Lindsay prepares and every argument she advances.
Lindsay pairs that courtroom perspective with deep academic grounding in family law: she earned a Family Law Certificate from Rutgers Law School for her extensive coursework in the field, making family law not just a practice area but a deliberate area of scholarly focus.
