father- parenting coordination client

Linda Schofel became our parenting coordinator about a year and a half ago, after my ex-wife and I had been back to court a number of times for post-judgment motions. She has been fantasitc. She has helped us resolve each dispute. On the rare occasions when we could not agree, Ms. Schofel has made a... thoughtful recommendation giving us her rationale. She is intelligent, caring, sincere, fair minded, prepared, available, non-judgmental and more. In my opinion, her working with 2 people with totallly different personalities and perspectives of the same situations is not easy. I think her legal and mental health experience is what is special about her skills. Since working with Ms. Schofel, we have not been back to court. It's far less expensive than having our attorneys fight over every parenting issue. She's unbiased with regard to mom or dad. But, she is clearly biased toward the well-being of our 3 childen. I recommend her highly as a parenting coordinator.

Attentive, Thorough and Balanced; Focus on Child's Best Interest

Linda has been my court appointed parenting coordinator for nearly 10 years. Unfortunately, it was necessary to engage her services multiple times to sort out parenting issues. Linda always has the child's best interest front and center. She is attentive, accessible, balanced and creative in findi...ng compromises. She has dealt with adversity and difficulty professionally and objectively. I highly recommend Linda without reservation.

Very Impressive

I felt the need to do a short review on our experience with Linda. She was fair, professional and her years of experience was evident. If we had Linda from the beginning of our 10 year nightmare, I believe she would have save us thousands of dollars. She was overly careful with our bill. On a few o...ccasions she recommended ways to keep our fees down. VERY Considerate and kind to us during a very sad time in our lives. The children benefit the most in her hand in our matter. She was amazing at coordinating and helping maintain sanity. I just wish we had been referred to Linda years earlier.

  • 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.
