Divorce attorney

Linda has been my attorney for my divorce and alimony court cases. She has always been efficient, aggressive and proven results . I will always reach for her for any & all my family court needs .

Does what she says that she will do!!!

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!!!

Posted by Michael | June 15, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

From a VERY happy customer, after this VERY strong, VERY aggressive, and MOST caring attorney I could have asked for!!!

I am completely pleased with the outcome linda has achieved for me and my little boy, mine was no easy case! The other party was very sneaky!! Even so they couldn't get around Linda!! She is very aggressive and definitely knows how to keep the ball rolling, and is also very experienced!! It's cr...azy because when I was young like 9, can remember waiting in the parking lot of the court house while she won custody for Uncle, I am 29 now she has been doing this a long time. I never thought I would need an attorney, but I am so glad I chose her she is so experienced and an is such a great person!!! A few things that stand out for me are the how good she keeps things moving, her reputation speaks for itself. One of my favorite moments was when the other party presented evidence of my temper, Linda instantly had it thrown out because there was no dates or times.. and she was sooooo fast!!! It was truly amazing and if she hadn't done that we would have been in a tough spot!!! I am very impressed, and happy with the outcome of my case!! I am very satisfied and she is worth every penny. I highly recommend this attorney. Also I try not to go to far into details of my case out of privacy, but my life is now perfect and I am better off than I ever thought possible because of this attorney and her experience, and actions!!!

Caring, compassionate, and knowledgeable

My father died and Had issues with probate. Mrs. Hayes was recommended to me by a friend that had used her. Through the turmoil and tears, Linda guided me through the paperwork and helped me meet all deadlines. She was available every time I contacted her with questions and was very knowledgeable ab...out the process. I highly recommend her to anyone needing an estate lawyer.

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.

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.
