Excellent Divorce Lawyer

Attorney Linda Vanden Heuvel did a wonderful job representing me in my divorce. She is extremely knowledgable and she looked out for my best interests throughout the process. Linda was very supportive and always available to answer my questions and keep me up to date on the case as it progressed. ...She knows the law and made sure that I was able to get a very fair settlement. Her book on divorce in Wisconsin is an excellent resource as well.

Five Plus Stars are not Enough!

Linda is the most caring, understanding and generous professional that I have had to deal with throughout this whole ordeal. If I did not understand why something that I suggested could not be done, Linda would explain it to me in analogies that I would understand. Linda and her staff ALWAYS had ...my back and best interests in mind! I always felt safe and secure throughout this major life transition. I could not have successfully made it without Linda and her very knowledgeable staff. It was an honor to have Linda represent me!

Excellent attorney for child custody case

Attorney Linda Vanden Heuvel was very knowledgeable and understood our needs in my family's custody case. She was well respected by the court staff and Judges. She was very professional and experienced during the trial and made the lawyer for the other side look unprepared. We received the best outco...me that we could have hoped for!

Above and beyond - continued support

Long drawn out custody case (not by us). Linda was always present and a listing ear to my concerns and able to secure 50/50 lot of her time was taken (naturally personal emotional issue). Naturally did not get what I wanted but Linda put me in my place rightfully so. Final custody agreement has been... working very very well for the last year or so. Continues to be their for me with quick responses. Would never bet against Linda. She is worth every thing. Side note don’t make the same mistake I did, hire Linda off the bat and be clear and understanding of what is fair to the child. She will get you their! Worth everything and much more. Loving father

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
