This isn't a rating. I have a legitimate question.

I will update my #rating after my process. I am just starting off utilising Linda. I found some things to be off but since I am not familiar with the process i wanted to ask others some questions. Did you feel she was prepared in having read ALL the information you gave her to support your side? I ha...d provided her great detail that my biggest concern was my children and my ex's aggression towards me AND them. When we discussed a situation regarding the police, her response was that I should call HER in the future NOT the police. I found this baffling since i INCLUDED the police report where they note he was screaming at the officers, needed to confirm i had security in the home, etc.... Is this common practice for a parent coordinator to recommend avoiding the police even when in fear and to call them instead? The biggest reason I am utilising her is to minimise my children being in environment that I feel is unhealthy and hostile(i also supported this with several 3rd party opinionS-texts, emails from my children's professionals). Other comments have been made that lead me to believe she may not have fully read my side. Thoughts? She is lovely and pleasant. But- does she do her diligence and remain fair? This raised a red flag for me.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
