Excellent

Linda was not only tough as nails when dealing with DA’s she is able to compassionately present the clients case that is reasonably fair for both parties. When the future of your kids are at stake or you have a difficult time talking to your spouse, Linda is worth more than she charges. I will recom...mend her to anyone.

You could do MUCH better

My divorce/custody case was pretty open and closed since the father defaulted on his subpoena. However, Linda’s lack of work and communication dragged this case on for almost a year, did not go through the Texas AG, and billed me for phone calls/emails that never happened. A year after the divorce ...decree was issued, I am still trying to get the Texas AG to honor my divorce decree. Basically, two years after hiring her and still nothing is done and I’m having to sort it out myself.

I mean she’s good but..

I love Linda and she’s super stern in court and funny as hell behind closed doors but there are communication gaps. That and I feel for my case I was overcharged. I literally consider Linda’s monthly payment a part of my child support.

Amazing Lawyer to have on your side

I have retained Linda's services twice, and both times she has gone in swinging and came out winning! She is beautifully harsh and blunt, but only because she knows the system like no other family lawyer in Collin or Denton Counties. She will tell you exactly what is to be expected before going into... Court, and she genuinely has her clients best interest as her #1 priority. You can hire her or lose to her, I chose to hire her.

All Talk

All she is is talk. And she actually doesn't work. I have seen no results. I get no responses to inquiry emails or phone call. I get no updates at all. I've heard other attorneys actually say the same things about her now that I'm asking around. I wish I could get my money back and move onto a dec...ent lawyer, but I'm stuck. Hopefully this will be resolved soon. And I will never make this mistake again. Please make better choices people.
