Excellent communication and closure.

During a lengthy divorce (>2.5Years) I took the huge step to change attorneys. I did not regret this decision for one second, Linda came up to speed on my case quickly addressed the major issues and brought it to an amicable resolution within three months. She has excellent communication and is alway...s available to answer questions or concerns. I would, and have recommended her services to friends and work colleagues.

Doesn’t back down

I am so glad I was referred to Linda- by 3 different people! She is professional, knowledgeable and thorough. My case had multiple layers when it came to divorce and custody, dealing with different states and military. She gave me possible outcomes as to not give me false hope, but the resolution was... better than anticipated, and she fought for me and what was best for my child the whole way. Whenever I emailed or called, she responded shortly after, always in contact. Definitely worth the cost.

Excellent Lawyer

Linda is very professional and sincere and truly cares about her clients. She was very thorough and explained the process as we went along. She fights for her clients and always kept me informed on what was happening with my case.

An advocate since 2011

My working relationship began with Linda in 2011 when I hired her to help me navigate divorce and child custody matters. Since 2011 my ex-spouse has repeatedly brought me back to court. I could not imagine navigating these matters with anyone but Linda Sayed. Ms. Sayed has a profound knowledg...e and understanding of family law. She is compassionate, ethical, and incredibly responsive. In summary, she is really, really good at what she does.

Best choice for a MILITARY DIVORCE!

Linda is everything you would expect when hiring an expert and more. Her dedication to family law and expertise in military divorces put my mind at ease from the beginning. She is realistic, thorough, a stickler for detail, responsive, and she maintains a total state of calm despite the emotional u...pheaval this process can bring on the parties involved. It is obvious that her staff is in constant communication with each other and are client focused. You can feel confident leaving all the legal matters pertaining to your divorce to Mrs. Sayed.

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.
