Lynn F. McConnell graduated from Randolph-Macon Woman’s College in 1985 and from Wake Forest University Law School in 1988. She moved to Fairhope from New Orleans in 1994 and began her solo family law practice in 2006 once her youngest child entered school.

Lynn conducts mediation of initial and post-judgment domestic relations and custody matters after completion of specific training in divorce, family, and domestic violence issues. She was recently certified as an appellate mediator. She is frequently appointed by the judges to act as a guardian ad litem where it is appropriate to have an advocate dedicated to a child’s best interest, as her passion is to provide a voice to the children who find themselves the subject of a court proceeding through no fault of their own.
