A First Class Experience. Highly Recommended.

My experience with Linh was nothing but positive. Time and time again, Linh proved to be highly professional and "on top of things" during a very stressful time. Procedural knowledge, documentation, processing and any other help was given promptly and with great attention to detail. On occasion, she ...even provided help during late evenings and weekends. Highly recommended, and I would not hesitate to utilize her services for future litigation.

Rental Agreement Assistance

We worked with Linh Ly to develop a rental agreement. Her professional and courteous manner in working with us was very much appreciated. We were quite pleased with the results.

Separation/Divorce Case

Linh handled my case very professionally. She provided constructive legal advice regarding various documents in my case; and assisted me throughout the process. I would recommend her to those who may need similar assistance in the future.

Posted by Craig | February 07, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Marriage & Prenuptials

Very professional and thorough!

I had an appointment with an attorney in the same office as Linh Ly to discuss a prenuptial agreement that I needed. This attorney was recommended to me by my Estate Planning attorney. The attorney that I had an appointment with, was detained and unable to keep the appointment. Linh Ly worked in t...he same office and told me about the detainment and asked if she could help me. I told her that I needed a prenuptial agreement and she said she was well versed in preparing them. I agreed to have Lihn do the work. I was extremely happy with the outcome. Lihn prepared a very comprehensive and detailed agreement and did so faster than I expected. The cost was reasonable and in short, I was extremely happy with her work. If I need any other legal work done, I'll definitely call Lihn!

Linh was phenomenal

I had been working with a different attorney though a simple divorce case that became not as simple as I had hoped. My other attorney was awful as made me feel like I was not cared about. A friend suggested Linh and she was the complete opposite. I felt like she truly put me first, and after our firs...t meeting, I felt so good I I wished I had hired her first. When I worked with her, my divorce was done quickly and effeciently. She communicated with me throughout every step. I recommend her not only for her professionalism, but because she truly cares.

Linh is a creative, thoughtful and highly respected colleague whose integrity and judgment I respect. Linh's personal and professional skills will serve her current and prospective clients extremely well because it is critical that any client, particularly in a domestic relations context, can develop a relationship with an attorney that possesses both superior legal knowledge and excellent interpersonal skills."

"Linh is conscientious and hard-working. Although at first she seems soft-spoken, she will continually surprise you with her assertiveness and humor. As a former law clerk to a Circuit Court Judge, she is also able to give you a reasonable perspective and insight into how the Court may perceive your case."
