She told me the truth

I called for a consult and she told me how to do what I needed to do without her cause I was gonna spend more money trying to hire a lawyer to solve my problem than I could get out of it. I loved how honest she was and if I ever need a lawyer I am definitely going to always call her first.

Lynda and her team are phenomenal. I cannot say enough positive things about them- of their caring nature for their client's well-being, responsiveness to questions and overall phenomenal work ethic. Her team explained about the divorce process factually but also provided the kindness that I needed w...hile making some of the hardest decisions. When my emotions would start to get the best of me Lynda, reminded who I was fighting for, my daughter. Lynda and her team provided rational and logical reasoning but never without care and kindness. I recommend Lynda and her team for anyone that wants compassionate, intelligent and fair representation. Things with my divorce was not as simple or amicable as i had initially hoped but Lynda and her team were amazing every step of the way. From initial consult to settlement I felt confident and well taken care of.

Great Team!

I'm really satisfied about how Lynda and her team managed my divorce. They stayed on top of communications & paperwork, always responded/acted promptly, and ensured we stayed focused on the important stuff. Divorce stinks, but my legal team made it manageable. Thank you for that!

Avoid at all cost!!! Expensive cost at that!!!

I hired Lynda in January 2019 and fired her in October 2019. Lynda is over-zealous when billing clients. My divorce was just finalized and I emailed Lynda asking for a partial refund. She offered me a measly $200. Her paralegal completed the CIS (Case Information Statement), Answer, and Count...erclaim for my case, which took maybe a few hours of work. The opposition created the Marital Separation Agreement, and Lynda only reviewed it, and missed simple things that other attorneys typically automatically include. I paid $3675 and she requested another $3100 for a fairly simple divorce, no kids, no property, no alimony. In total that is almost $7000! Understandably, each case is different, but mine was one of the simpler ones. My divorce was held up by 2 bankruptcies, which required nothing but waiting. Lynda's reasoning was that it took 9 months and that I should be billed $3675. Why was I paying fees for simply waiting? We had not even met with the opposition yet and she didn't have to file any motions. I initially requested $1650 back, but then re-reviewed the billing statement and revised my request to a $1150 refund and she still refused, sticking to her $200 refund offer. In speaking with other replacement lawyers, they often rolled their eyes and said good thing you fired her! Lynda had the gall to call me an extortionist when I told her that I was going to write truthful (bad) reviews online. LYNDA is the extortionist. Lynda resulted to name calling because she knew she was wrong. She is completely unprofessional and lies in attempts to cover her tracks. Her office staff was nice, but I would highly recommend avoiding this attorney unless you have money to burn. She will bill you for EVERYTHING! When I posted 1 online review on Google, Lynda responded by saying "I am sorry you didn’t communicate with me as much as you have with the Internet about me...because one of the key things that helps make cases less expensive is when clients communicate with the office most effectively and provide all information requested." She then emailed me that she had 98 emails concerning my case. 98 emails vs 1 bad review does not show a lack of communication as she asserts. Furthermore, I did supply all requested documents in a very timely fashion as I am always glued to the Internet. As another example, she insisted that I paid $3650, when her own billing statement showed the correct amount of $3675 that I had actually paid. I know it's only a $25 difference, but it goes to show you how she lies or is completely uninformed. Lynda did not have much personality and was like talking to a brick wall. I am well educated and have worked with many lawyers in my time. This lawyer is one to avoid for sure!

You buy groceries and eat them all. Five months later, you return to the grocery store and say "You know, I feel you charged me too much for my twinkies even though I ate them all and they tasted like twinkies and didn't make me sick. But yeah, I want my money back." In what theory of reality would that ever work with any product or service offered in the world? It just doesn't. You then threaten to picket me, blast me all over the internet, report me.... My friend, you left owing me money you voluntarily said you'd pay but didn't, and "fired me" because you didn't want to pay more- no comment back then on quality of service or anything. I wished you well. You never paid your balance. I let it go...because I was being nice. You then choose to behave in this manner without any cause other than that you want money. I live my life in a way whereby no one can accuse me of anything other than normal human frailty without lying, and when I lay my head down at night I do so with a clear conscience. The best part of living that way is that you don't have to give in to people who try to extort you, and you can feel safe knowing the reputation you've built for integrity will withstand the attack.
