Passionate and Practical

Linda is totally committed to achieving the best possible outcome for my case. Her preparation for court is very thorough and includes the best documentation and most recently passed laws. Despite the lies and constant misdirection of opposing counsel and their client, Linda stayed on target and w...on the day. She takes a personal interest and always provides support and encouragement. Although these things are never pleasant, I have enjoyed working with Linda and highly recommend her.

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.

Outstanding Attorney!

Linda trusted me with everything I presented to her and never doubted me from beginning to the end! She is very patient and performs all her duties in a professional mannet. I h...ighly recommend her to anyone who really needs her vast knowledge of the Texas Laws. Her leadership and loyalty is in the highest regards. I'm taking this time to Thank You with everything I have and may God continue.to provide you all the knowledge and wisdom for those seeking your expertise and proper guidance!!!

Best Decision I Ever Made

I went to her with a coplex child custody and divorce case; she could not have handled it better and I wonder if some of the reviews are the other side to a divorce that she smoked. She was always available and would always listen to me. She was a fighter when I needed one and really got things don...e! From the very beginning to the very end, she was on top of my case and always had my best interest at heart. She was to the point and told me what I needed to hear, not always just what I wanted to hear. She was always prepared and always professional. Linda guided me through a very difficult situation and when it was over, made sure that everything was completed in a timely fashion. I used her after I fired my previous attorney and the difference was amazing. I always got copies of every document and she would be there to answer questions if I had any about what she sent. If I could not speak with her, she would make sure her assistant knew how to answer my questions. Her billings were fair and concise. I was truly blessed to find this attorney.
