This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Family Law Powerhouse

She is a top notch attorney who will give you the facts straight, speak directly to you about the matters at hand, and all while showing compassion for her clients. I engaged with Linda who worked with another attorney in the practice on my case for over three years. There was some stoppage on my... part because of personal matters and also because of the pandemic. But I would highly recommend a consult with her if you are serious about pursuing a family law case. Her hourly rates reflect her professional and experience in the field but are more than worth it!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
