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!

Caring, Understanding and Exceptional in Court

I could not be any happier with the results of my case. Attorney Vanden Heuvel was extremely thorough especially when it came to my custody and placement issues. Her guidance and support throughout the process was very helpful and alleviated the pressure of the divorce. Linda’s willingness to go ab...ove and beyond for me and my children was impressive. I highly recommend Linda. Her knowledge and extensive experience is something to be celebrated.

Thank you Emily. We worked very hard on your case, both you and me. It takes cooperation from you, coupled with my experience and legal skills to come up with a good result in your divorce and placement case. I appreciate your positive comments. Thank you very much.

Strongly Reccomend

Linda words cannot capture the happiness you have brought my family and I this year. Without you I would have missed too many more memories. The respect, appreaction and gratitude I have for your law firm I cant put to words. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. While my case is ongoing, Lin...da has been there for me throughout and I could not imagine where I would be without her. She has always been accessible, very knowledgeable and strong. As a individual who started this as pro se (refused to spend money on an assumed given right to a child) to hiring a lawyer who rarely responded, to then hiring Linda. She is worth every penny and then a lot more; especially factoring in the fact she responds to the weekend / late night placement questions / concerns that arise last minute. Linda will look out for your interest as well as your child and will call a spade a spade. I would never bet against her and recommend her to any parent dealing with a custody matter.

Very expensive, unorganized

Uncontested divorce and one court appearance in eight months resulted in more than $25,000 in attorney and other fees. The last bill was sent 7 months after divorce was finalized and charged as a result of my questioning a missed QDRO. Attorney was openly harsh with her staff and very disorganized. I... felt a lack of trust, but didn't have the cash to pay another retainer for a different attorney.

This review is untruthful. It is very difficult to respond to an anonymous review, but I have an inkling who would write this unfair comment. First of all, I did not charge even a small percentage of this alleged amount. This untruthful person added up the fees of all attorneys, all experts, all costs, all appraisals, etc., and only in that circumstance did the cost even come close to the suggested amount. A financial expert was retained to handle the QDRO before I was even retained on this divorce. I worked very hard for this client and was never paid in full for services rendered. The allegations relative to my staff are a lie. The people that work with me are valued and have worked with me for many, many years. Relative to the final invoice, this invoice was sent at client's request after I had already (at that time) written off the fees. Assuming I am correct in my analysis of this "anonymous" sender's comments, there is little likelihood that this person would be satisfied under any circumstances and under any conditions.

Not very professional.

Hired this attorney for my divorce. Had two meetings with attorney. During each meeting she left the room twice for several minutes. The first meeting was late to start as she was not in the office yet. Once the meeting started, fifteen minutes late, I discovered that she had not even reviewed any... of the documents I had submitted three weeks prior. She didn’t even know that her office had them. Not sure what each absence was for during that meeting. The second meeting we were to go over my spouses settlement proposal. Both absences during this meeting were for her to take care of an automobile problem that she had. Everyone has problems and I was paying for her to help me with my big one. I surely did not want to be paying her to solve her car problems. That second meeting also ended ten minutes early with her walking out as I was still sitting at the table. Needless to say after this meeting I realized I hired the wrong attorney. Since then I have hired another attorney. She is quite professional and I am very happy with her.

I provided excellent legal assistance to this gentleman who did not sign his name. In less than three months, I had three office appointments with this client and a Marital Settlement Agreement and Financial Statement had already been drafted. This case was on "fast pace" to get resolved. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I am always prepared. That is one of the secrets of my success. I am rarely late for appointments, unless it is something beyond my control, such as court running late. Relative to the allegations that I was interrupted to take care of my car, that is not true, but if I was interrupted for any reason, I apologize for interruption. That is not standard practice and only happens in exceptional situations. In addition, I do not have appointments that run a certain length. Some appointments are short, some appointments are long. I do know this client's new counsel, who in the past has referred clients to me. I wish this client nothing but the best.
