Taxation affects all of us, however, there are circumstances when a taxpayer runs afoul of the taxing authorities and needs a lifeline. I have saved taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax dispute and collections cases.

Absolutely Horrible

Had this guy booked through off the record to resolve a traffic case in Fulton County. He did absolutely nothing besides getting the bench warrant rescinded. Never showed up to court and just moved my court dates back. Never informed me of the new court dates and my case ended up in FTA status. When ...he reached out to close the case on the app I expressed my willingness to do so and he said he would be at Fulton County magistrate court the next day and then ghosted me. I can’t speak for residents of Cobb but absolutely do no hire this guy if you live in Fulton County.

While I cannot ethically respond to the specifics of this case in a public forum, this case was a limited engagement and significant work was done on behalf of the client disproportionate to the extremely modest fee paid. In many cases the client will be informed of new court dates before attorneys as long as their mailing addresses are accurate with the court. In this case affirmative steps have been taken to assist the client above and beyond ethical obligations offline even though I am not currently accepting new clients in the State of Georgia.

Got the job done, however not the most responsive.

I'm 24 years old and have never received a ticket in 7-8 years of driving. When I suddenly got my first speeding ticket I was shook to say the least. I had no clue what I was going to do. I'm still under my father's insurance and I definitely did not want him to find out that his insurance rates went... up because I was going 81 in a 55. Shortly after receiving the ticket, I looked up any sort of solution I could find on the internet. That's when I found this website called off the record that would match you up with an attorney almost instantly. I was matched up with Kevin Linder. As soon as I got in contact with him he was able to explain the severity of the charges against me and what my options were for a resolution... And I didn't have to go to court once. I was told that I could have my speed reduced to 69/55 and no points on my record if I take a Defensive Driving course and pay $400. This is obviously a way better solution than paying the $400 while also dealing with higher insurance rates. I ended up taking the DD course and paying the fee after signing a plea of absentia. Kevin did an exceptional job with my case, however he wasn't the most responsive. He didn't get back to me until a day before the case, however this was overshadowed by how effective of a communicator he was and how swiftly he was able to get the job done. I highly recommend Mr. Linder if you're looking for a great Attorney!

Trust your freedom to No-one but Linder.

Mr. Linder helped me reclaim my name, life and freedom; bringing back happiness and dignity to my life. Without question, Mr. Linder is a top-notch defense lawyer and ranks among the very best in Greater Atlanta. From our very first meeting, Mr. Linder was personable, respectful and empathetic to ...my situation. His advanced knowledge of the law and confident demeanor assured me he would resolve my case favorably. Mr. Linder worked tirelessly on my case and kept prompt and consistent contact. He far exceeded my expectations. I walked into the court with a felony criminal record and walked out that day with a full and complete discharge with ALL rights restored!!!! *No more Felony Conviction because of Attorney Kevin Linder.

Steady hand, brilliant mind!

I have no criminal history and every intention of keeping it this way. I found myself in a situation which caused great panic, and after contacting several other attorneys, my panic dramatically increased. Finally came across Kevin Linder. He was calm, realistic but reassuring, extraordinarily tho...rough & knowledgeable, and now several months later, I'm happy to report he was... Absolutely right about everything. Mr. Linder's strength rests in his ability to grasp the whole picture -- Both from a legal perspective, and from an interpersonal / behavioral / psychological standpoint. He is gentle but realistic with setting expectations. After my first conversation with Mr. Linder, I was confident I finally found an attorney who would keep my best interest in mind and would doggedly pursue the best possible outcome for my situation. Over the past several months, he's proven to be highly accessible and responsive. Never judged me, never made me feel dumb, and never tried to make me worry more (honestly thought that's what all lawyers do). Now that my situation is behind me and my mind is at ease, I'm grateful to have Mr. Linder on my speed dial to call In Case Of Legal Emergency... more likely to avoid future negative legal situations to begin with. Thanks again Kevin.

DUI/Hit and Run

I'd jus gotten home from being detained/arrested for alleged DUI and a hit and run. I immediately knew I needed a lawyer but I'd never needed a lawyer in my life so I didn't know where to start. I acquired Kevin Linder through the internet. He responded with in an hour (on a Sunday) after I entered m...y inquiry. I explained the details of the incident. He explained my best options and his fee (which in my opinion was quite reasonable). He stayed in contact with me throughout the entire process, even times when it was after hours, which I did from time to time because of nerves and my worrying mind, he never complained. Court date arrived and Kevin was so professional. He got tha charges reduced to Reckless driving and hitting a fixed object (by the way the "fixed object" was a police car..hence my worry). It felt like a miracle. Kevin Linder is genuine. He will be very compassionate to your situation and in my opinion do his BEST to do what's in your best interest.
