Linda Hayes is an experienced Greenville family lawyer who has written and lectured on complex family law, child custody, and divorce litigation matters. Born and raised in Washington, D.C., she graduated from the University of South Carolina School of Law in 1993 and has presented at conferences focusing on divorce issues and advanced family law. She serves families in Greenville, Pickens, Anderson, Spartanburg, and Laurens. Linda is a member of the Family Law Division of South Carolina Bar, where she lends her decades of experience in divorce and separation cases. In addition to her divorce services, she also regularly practices in powers of attorney and wills and estate planning for individuals looking to plan their family’s futures.
My interests include travel, cooking, fishing, reading. I also enjoy gardening (more so the flowers and veggies, not so much the weeding!) I enjoy writing materials for and speaking at family law NBI seminars throughout the state as it helps me to learn more and keep up to date with the ever-changing laws.

Linda and her team worked long and hard to decipher medical records and doctors’ notes in order to resolve my case amicably and fairly. If you need an attorney who can cut through the “red tape,” give the Hayes Law Firm a call!!!

Best divorce and custody lawyer in Greenville
Linda was great. Her expertise was proven when she handled my divorce. She paved the way for me to gain custody of my two small children which were still in diapers at the time. That certainly wasn't the norm in custody cases at the time.
"I endorse this lawyer. You can expect Linda Hayes to be accessible, caring, and well prepared for your Family Court issue. She will make you feel cared for during a difficult time."
"Linda is a great attorney who knows her stuff in family court. She has many years of experience dealing with families in crisis and the legal difficulties it creates. She does it all with great charm and empathy."
