Amazing, fierce, compassionate, well-respected lawyer.

Linda is an OUTSTANDING family lawyer! She worked with me on a very difficult divorce involving an intense child custody battle and financial issues. She is the absolute best. She did more for me that I could possibly have known or understood at the time. It was incredibly emotional but she alwa...ys brought options and stability to the table for me. She was compassionate and wise in giving my teenage children a voice. Her knowledge. amount of experience, level of respect/rapport in her field, and her bold confidence was stabilizing for me. She will not mess around. She knows her stuff. She doesn't waste time. She is realistic about the possibilities and doesn't feed into things that are not legally possible, which I greatly appreciated. Yet she fights fiercely on your behalf for the absolute best possible solution ...and she wins! I could immediately tell she is well respected and listened to by the court and other attorneys. She knows what is right and what she feels is best and she does NOT back down! I was so nervous, but to be able to sit and watch her fight for myself and my kids was so relieving. She worked in creative ways on behalf of my kids that helped them so much. I will forever be grateful to Linda for grabbing this situation by the tail and taking control. Trust Linda in the process! That was SO hard for me at the time, but I'm telling you if you have Linda as your lawyer, you can rest assured she has got you covered!!

Rude

I called for a consultation with her not knowing my ex had obtained her. I could literally hear her screaming about “why is she calling here” and going on and on yelling about stuff. I had zero clue he obtained her. I told the person who answered the phone I could hear everything she said and she see...med uncomfortable saying anything. I can only imagine how toxic of a work environment they have there. Sure I’ve heard she’s a fighter, but sometimes you can go too far. Glad I ended up not using her. Funny because I consulted a year prior, so her representing my ex could be seen as conflict of interest
