DE-lightful Counse

Ms. Toga helped me and my partner put together an estate plan. She was articulate, graceful, insightful and "smartful." I can't speak highly enough for her help, I would also add helpful to the list in the prior sentence.

Successful house closing

I had the pleasure of retaining Linda for a house closing. The sale turned out to be more complicated than anyone expected, with outstanding liens and botched foreclosure proceedings. But Linda was always on top of things and gave sound and valuable advice through out the entire process.

Excellent Lawyer

We attended several estate planning seminars and finally choose Linda Toga to prepare our Will and other documents. She explained things clearly and do not push us to purchase the service that we don't need. I am grateful for her sound advice and very happy about her work.

A Rare Find

I was referred to Linda M. Toga by my divorce attorney. I had been notified that there were matters left unattended by my deceased ex-husband that needed to be handled and I would need an attorney that specialized in Estates to clarify things, help me through the process and deal with his Estate att...orney on my behalf. Since it took me seven years to finally get divorced, you can imagine the anguish of having to go through more, thinking that it was finally over and it wasn't. My initial call to Linda put me at ease. I found her to be "matter of fact", "no nonsense", "thorough", "factual" and sincere. She tells it like it is, keeps you informed of her progress on your behalf, is extremely knowledgeable, organized and is a distinguished, dignified representative for her clients. Needless to say, she was able to close my account in a few months. She made what would have been a painful and arduous ordeal, bearable. Thank you Linda, for those of us who don't have anyone to turn to.....its comforting to know we can count on your honesty. You truly are "A Rare Find"! Signed, A very grateful client!

She is a "10"!

Linda Toga gets my top-rating for excellence! I hired her on high referral 10 years ago ad haven't been disappointed for a second. I enjoy the professional, personalized and "friendly" service. I have a general suspicion about lawyers as I work in the criminal justice system, but her I trust, as o...ver the years she has consistently provided outstanding service. My elderly father needed all that paperwork, as well as estate paperwork, including sale/closing of his home as he entered assisted living.; she even sensitively handled a family dispute. Every detail was attended to and all the while she updated me in language I understood. Linda's knowledge and resources seem vast. I had previously used another firm, and although the lawyer was nice, his firm was large and I felt lost as another cog in the machinery. She is a "10"!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
