Thank you.

I just wanted to post this review in thanks for Attorney Lineberry. I'm going through a very difficult time in what's been a 2+ year struggle to set my life back on a good path, his advice on my situation did exactly as he said and my stomach is calmer knowing my rights and that I'm not wrong and tha...t I'm being taken advantage of. So, if you have questions in his area of law, he's definitely the one to call!! Thank you thank you thank you!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"While I do criminal defense work, I do not do juvenile work. Representing defendants under 18 involves different questions than those faced in adult criminal court. Mr. Lineberry is serious, thorough, and professional. I would have no reservations about recommending him for a client with a juvenile case."
