Lindsey M. Eastwood

Tel. 205-319-9995
Email: Lindsey@LindseyEastwood.com
Legal Assistant: Vanna Powell


Lindsey M. Eastwood is an experienced trial lawyer who specializes in Probate and Estate Administration; Wills, Trusts, and Estate Planning, as well as Civil Litigation. She understands the stress associated with estate planning and litigation disputes. She provides excellent legal services to her clients and reasonable and predictable fee structures. She takes a compassionate approach to handling your legal affairs.
Lindsey has a strong background in writing and composition that enables her to excel at drafting Estate Planning documents, Wills, Trusts, and pleadings in Probate and Estate Administration. Her writing talent in motion practice is a significant benefit of retaining her as counsel. In addition to her writing skills, Lindsey is also a very successful litigator in civil and probate courts. A recent example of her success is trying a case in Bessemer in February 2018 and obtaining a jury verdict for twelve times the pre-trial settlement offer. ​

Before starting her own practice, Lindsey worked for some of the top trial lawyers in Alabama, which gave her the benefit of taking countless depositions and successfully trying jury trials. Her litigation experience helps her evaluate cases with a "big picture" mentality and maximize returns whether a jury trial is needed. On occasion, she also resolves cases through mediation and arbitration, which can sometimes be cost-saving. However, her main experience and focus is estate planning, wills, trusts, estate and probate administration, and civil litigation, which involves drafting legal instruments and trial work. Lindsey is licensed to practice in all state courts in Alabama, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama, and the Eleventh Circuit of the United States Court of Appeals.

Lindsey is a member of the Estate Planning Council of Birmingham. She is active in the Birmingham Bar Association and in the nonprofit community. She presently serves on the Junior Board of the Alabama Symphony Orchestra and the Board of the Elizabeth Perry Rushton Child Development Center. She and her family attend Birmingham First United Methodist Church where she is a member of the Staff/Pastor-Parish Relations Committee and Children's Council. She is also a lay delegate to the North Alabama Conference of the United Methodist Church.

Lindsey earned her J.D. from Cumberland School of Law, where she was a finalist in the Donworth Moot Court Competition. Prior to law school, Lindsey attended Birmingham-Southern College where she received a B.A. in English and a minor in classics. At Birmingham-Southern, Lindsey was also an active member of the Student Government Association and Alpha Omicron Pi Women’s Fraternity.
