Highly recommend Linh as an exceptional estate planning attorney

My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with Linh on our estate planning. She guided us through the entire process with exceptional expertise and professionalism. We truly appreciated the high level of care, thoroughness, and efficiency she demonstrated in establishing our trusts. We high...ly recommend her services to anyone seeking a skilled and trustworthy estate planning attorney!

Exceptional Expertise in Divorce Case

Exceptional expertise, compassionate guidance, and tireless advocacy - Linh exceeded my expectations in every way for my divorce case. From the initial consultation to the final resolution, Linh provided reassurance, clarity, and strategic counsel. Her dedication, professionalism, and kindness made a... very difficult process more manageable. Her knowledge, experience, and strategic thinking helped me achieve a fair and favorable outcome. If you're looking for a trustworthy and skilled divorce attorney, I highly recommend Linh.

Expert Assistance with Complicated Divorce

Linh provided expert guidance through my divorce. The matters were complicated by an ex who left the country and was uncooperative, but Linh was incredibly kind and knowledgable. Thanks to her guidance, I was able to obtain my divorce and I can't imagine better help than what Linh provided.

Highly Recommended

I’ve known Linh for over two years. She helped me with my parents’ wills and trust and recently did the same for me and my wife. She’s an excellent attorney. Very knowledgeable and thorough, and also very courteous and professional. She was a joy to work with and I would not hesitate to call on her a...gain should the need arise. I highly recommend her!

Will Trust & Probate

It is with pleasure that we write this recommendation for Attorney Linh H. Ly. We have been associated with Ms. Ly since 2021 and she has represented our family in legal matters in Northern Virginia. As her website (linhlylaw.com) indicates, she is an award winning and trusted Virginia attorney who...se areas of practice are: family law, estate planning and civil litigation. Ms. Ly exhibited the utmost professionalism and respect for the court as well as her clients and others involved in our litigation. Her knowledge of the law, the courts, her preparation and research were absolutely peerless. She did not generalize but instead took the time to tailor her research and preparation to our particular situation. Her work ethic and timeliness were unsurpassed. Ms. Ly has a riveting court presence and a compelling delivery and application of case law and legal standards. Her “in command” subtle presence makes her a stellar courtroom attorney. In summation, Ms. Ly is a very hard working, knowledgeable attorney who keeps clients best interest at the forefront of everything she does.

  • 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.
