Impressive and Hard Working

Thank you and kudos on writing such a helpful book, Divorce in Wisconsin, The Legal Process, Your Rights and What to Expect. Thank you for being my attorney. Your early assessment during our introductory meeting was both helpful and impressive. Others need to make Vanden Heuvel & Dineen their first c...all!

Divorce lawyer on my side

Linda is an extremely knowledgable lawyer who always fought for me. She was always open to my suggestions and helped me to a successful result. I am glad I chose Linda to guide me through this tough time.

Well Respected, Experienced Divorce Attorney in West Bend, Wisconsin

I would hire this attorney again. That's the highest compliment I can give.

Horrible lawyer

I wish I had researched her prior to hiring. Linda doesn't work with you or for you. I was being billed for unanswered emails/calls, belittled and even yelled at in her office on multiple occasions. I now know of others who have used her and said the same. She was never concerned with my case and I n...ever felt like a valued client. I was hardly updated on the process and each time I called to check on what was happening, I talked to a staff member who left her a message and I was charged for basically getting no answer to my question. Because Linda did not read through my MSA and advise me to do or not do some things, I am now battling with my ex on many items and will have to take him back to court. She is the expert and she was to advise me, but all she did was let me down. She wasn't going to fight to get me the most money for maintenance, I had to pay a divorce financial advisor to figure out the most I could get. Linda was going to let the judge decide. My ex-husband and I were trying to work things out between us to come to an agreement so we didn't have the judge decide everything and Linda did not like that. I feel that when she found this out, she stopped working for me. She never looked out for my best interest. I wasted 15 months and way too much money on her dragging her feet and being absolutely worthless. Put your money into a lawyer that will do the right thing not one that cares more about getting paid.

Of course this is an anonymous review. Clients who really have questions ask me about them. I can tell you that I have never received any contact from any client with the concerns set forth in this email. These comments are untrue and misleading. I give each and every client my personal cell phone number so that I am accessible 24/7. If anyone has a question about billing, I address the question immediately. In addition, I find that these negative reviews are very often written by the spouses of the clients I represent. I have had a perfect AVVO rating for over 35 years or at least since the beginning of AVVO.
