Lynn Krueger-Andes

Family Law, Mediation, Arbitration

Carolyn, or “Lynn” as most people call her, focuses her practice in family law and related civil litigation.

As a child of divorced parents, and having been raised by a single mother for the first eight years of her life, Lynn has a personal understanding of how family law issues impact all parties involved, including the children. She uses her professional experience combined with her personal understanding to assist her clients in making the legal process as simple, efficient and painless as possible.

Lynn is also a Certified Family Financial Mediator.  After spending 8+ years as a litigator, she felt that she could use her extensive courtroom experience to help guide people towards settlement outside the courtroom.  Since becoming certified in 2019, Lynn has mediated over 300 cases, and has successfully helped over 80% of those people settle their case.  While Lynn still handles cases in active litigation on a regular basis, she has found that adding mediation to her practice has resulted in helping even more people reach a resolution in their lives.  This brings her great joy, and she is very proud to help people in this way.

Lynn also has been selected to arbitrate matters for parties who simply cannot come to a decision on a legal custody matter, or who prefer to keep their entire case out of the court system and arbitrate their claims privately.

Lynn not only handles divorce and custody matters, but also helps her clients with alienation of affection cases. Her most notable trial resulted in a $1.5 million judgment for alienation of affection while in Raleigh. After returning to Charlotte, Lynn participated as co-counsel in an alienation of affection case, which resulted in a jury verdict of $1.3 million in their client’s favor. Subsequently, she handled another trial for alienation of affection which resulted in a $300,000 jury verdict in her client’s favor. Because of this experience, Lynn is well versed in the intricacies of the laws surrounding alienation of affection cases and has been selected as a CLE speaker on this topic.

Lynn is recently served as the Chair of the Mecklenburg County Bar Association Family Law Section and is Co-Chair of the Mecklenburg County Domestic Court Bar Committee. Lynn has also been a guest on the news and podcasts. To hear Lynn on the BrandBuilders Podcase, click here. To hear Lynn on Domestic Connection Podcast, click here.
