Shes horrible

My ex hired her as his lawyer.... during court she kept saying horrible things about me, She lies the whole sessions for clients then when judge asks for evidence she doesn't have it! Needless to say she didn't win for my ex and all favors went to me! Heads up everyone!!!!

Bad Advice, Bad Outcomes - Doesn't Deserve Any Stars

Want to give someone money just to argue and lose? If so, call Linda. She will lead you to believe you have a chance when the law clearly says you don't. Linda unanimously lost the biggest case in Family Law in Texas history at the Texas Supreme Court on a 9-0 decision. She stole thousands of dollars... from her clients by giving a false hope of a favorable outcome for them. She costs all parties involved over $250,000. She doesn't care about children, parental rights, men or women. She cares about getting paid and fighting losing battles. You're better off being pro se.

Passionate and Practical

Linda is totally committed to achieving the best possible outcome for my case. Her preparation for court is very thorough and includes the best documentation and most recently passed laws. Despite the lies and constant misdirection of opposing counsel and their client, Linda stayed on target and w...on the day. She takes a personal interest and always provides support and encouragement. Although these things are never pleasant, I have enjoyed working with Linda and highly recommend her.

Experience

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2004.

Partially Probated Suspension issued in TX, 2004

Partially Probated Suspension means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. When the attorney returns to practice, he or she will be on probation, meaning the State monitors the attorney's activities for a period of time in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Fully Probated Suspension issued in TX, 1992

updated on 03/15/2019

Fully probated suspension means an attorney is technically suspended but may still practice law. The State monitors the lawyer's activities during the suspension to make sure that he or she does not repeat the behavior.
