Linda Rengel Van Tine

linda has been helping my family since i can remember. her backround in gov., social work, law is incredible and priceless. everything i've asked her to do she has done perfectly. i have used her services for many differnet things.... property issues, disability and retirement questions, settin...g up a family trust fund.

Unfortunately, I never got to meet with Linda. After calling and speaking with the receptionist, she advised me to bring all my documents for Linda to review. This was to be followed up with an appointment. After 3 weeks of no response, I called & left a message. Expecting a callback...never happened.... After an entire month I requested my paperwork back and I am going elsewhere. The receptionist responded that Linda was out of the office for 2 weeks. With all due respect, maybe some sort of communication could have been attempted, if you even knew your pending clients! (this has been a very emotional time to begin with for my elderly parents, losing their son and we were looking for guidance and support)

My father died several years ago and Ms. Van Tine handled the estate. Early this year, I discovered that she (and apparently her staff) failed to completely dispose of my father's assets, including an unclaimed, still-open bank account. It was a mess trying to figure out who on her staff did or did...n't do what and it took forever for it to get it straightened out...meanwhile I had to take donations to pay for his burial and funeral as I was told this bank account was closed and void of funds! My father (and Rengel) hired her, not me, and I do not recommend her. Too many people on staff, apparently no one doing her job.
