Linda Choe

If you're here reading this story, chances are you're trying to find someone to trust with YOUR family in a time of terrifically awful stress. Let's face it, family matters are at the core of a parent's focus, and when you need legal representation, like I did, for a damn tough family situation, I go...t an unbelievable gift in Linda. I have a very young Son, and I am divorced from his mother, and I had to move out of state to take a job. I have had to fight night and day with my ex for time with my Son, to support him, to do anything with or for Him. Its been hell, straight up. I knew going to court would bring resolution to my problems with my ex for my Son, but like everything else, even getting to court was going to be a fight, I dug in and waited for the battle to begin. Maybe I'm like you, I live well but I don't have a mint to draw on for extraneous items, and at first, hiring a lawyer just didn't seem cost effective. I knew everything would go to trial eventually, so I thought I'd be smart and wait. That was a mistake. When I walked into court my first time, I went without representation, like a total rookie. Man did I regret that. Never, never, never let that happen. Your kids are counting on you, Dad or Mom, to step up and find the way through any situation, especially something that looms as large as custody, visitation, and child support. After getting the floor waxed with my necktie on my first "status" hearing, I made it my mission to talk to every professional I could associated with the court. My only question was this "Who can you recommend without reservation that will produce results?". Every person without exception pointed to Bean Kinney and Korman as being the premier firm, so I made the move and hired Linda. Being so obviously green walking into my case, I had already learned the hard way what not to do, but I can't say I wasn't surprised at the consensus view of folks that I asked about where to go for legal representation. I took it upon myself to put this firm to the test, to be completely open and honest about what I was dealing with for my family, and what I expected at the end of our business together. I have zero problem admitting when I need help or am out of my depth, because I know in my field I might be an "expert", but with this, I drank humble tea and LISTENED to what the attorneys had to say. About this time I started working with Linda, and right off the bat, I found her to be above all professional, but also punctual to a fault (huge plus for me, I'm on time, and I demand that of people I pay my hard earned money to), patient with me, courteous to my ex and her lawyers, diligent in finding the facts, and a rocket scientist at coming up with compromise and conditions to create a damn fine set of agreements between me and my ex spouse. Linda worked with me all around the clock, at times I was shocked at how on the ball she was just knocking out item after item, finding consensus where there seemingly was none, and putting it all in documentation that clearly showed me she was getting me and my Son EXACTLY what was fair and equitable to everyone involved, not just me. Linda was crucial to keeping things fair and responsive, even with the difficult person I was married to trying to constantly derail progress. Linda is by no means large in stature, but she is a large caliber badass in a legal situation. I say this without taking away anything from her total professional demeanor or her quiet way personally, but I can say without hesitation that I can pick out the ones to take seriously in life, and I would not want to be across the table from Linda. In the end, we came to an agreement for my Son that is 100% fair and we can LIVE IN PEACE with. I am honored to lay the credit squarely at Linda's feet.
