Imidiatly starting to make progress with me in the room she was sweet and I trust her with my daughters future In Linda's hands.. those who are saying ignorat things on here .. maybe you get a life... and stop harrassing people who are trying to actually help family's . Linda thank you so much for making the time to meet with me to today. You and megan we're very encouraging to my current worries and thoughts and concerns .. thank you for caring . ... Don't think I could have hired a better attorney . Thank you Linda and megan ... Wish there were more people like y'all in the world.

The opposing party nevet had anything good to say.

Usually opposing parties will complain or slander the opposing parties attorney. However in my case i cant say i can say the same. Though Linda Risinger does not represent me I cant say anything bad about her nor her office. She is a pitbull in the courtroom to say the least. But also very ethical. W...hen i call she answers or promptly responds. My case is very complex with many given factors. She handles them all very professionally and promptly. I have never had any issues with Risinger and often wish i had hired her first. I give her and her firm 5 stars all the way around.

Highly Recommend

Linda Risinger is an incredibly efficient and knowledgeable attorney that will do what she can to get her client what is possible by law. Sometimes it is hard for people to respect the fact that the law only permits certain actions and that their are limitations to what can be done in many cases. But... Linda Risinger will fight for her clients and most importantly for the best interests of involved children. She represented me on multiple issues and did for my family what the highest priced attorneys in the DFW metroplex said was simply not possible. If Linda Risinger does not immediately answer calls it is probably because she is a high demand attorney fighting for her clients in court or handling the very sensitive issue cases that make her the knowledgeable lawyer that she is on so many different issues. I don't want a lawyer who has tons of time to chat- I want a lawyer who wins! And she will do just that! She communicates what is necessary and be assured she will always take all the time a client needs to sit and discuss the case with her. She definitely invests in her clients just as we invest in her. I never write reviews for anything but Linda Risinger changed my life and protected my family. I will be forever grateful.

Great Family Law Attorney

Linda handled my divorce and custody case. Her representation could not have been better. Yes, she is busy but do you really want a lawy who is not. But she did return all of my phone calls promptly and answered all of my questions completely. She was understanding and caring. I really could not ...have hired better counsel. I wonder if the other "reviews" are from clients who did not pay thier bills in the end or some other beef. Probably so because I could not have wanted any better.

She'll educate you, fight for you, and calm you down when your fixing to loose it! She does it all!

I'm currently using Mrs. Risinger in a very important custody case, involving my four children. Linda is over 300 miles away from me, and has kept me informed regularly on the progression of my case. She has answered all of my phone calls, if she hasn't been available; she returned my phone call prom...ptly. With so much distance between her and I, I I have had to put full trust in her to make decisions that I’m not there to make myself, she has not neglected my trust and I am indebted and thankful. If you are looking for an attorney to put faith into, Linda is the lady to turn to. I don’t feel like I need to call her everyday to make sure she is doing her job, she just proves herself well in court. She has already represented me for one hearing, and she did great! She listened and understood everything I had to say concerning my x spouse and made our point in court. There is a likelihood I may have to appear in court again, and I’m comfortable knowing that I have chosen an exceptional, intelligent and professional lawyer to represent me.
