Linda Needham Risinger

I hired Linda to help me with a custody suit. She was helpful and insightful. She guided me through the process and took time to make sure that I understood all steps of the process. When it got complicated, she was there for me. She made sure that I was a part of my kids lives in a real way. I ca...n't think of any body else I would rather have by my side in a courthouse.

Want to give someone money just to argue and lose? If so, call Linda. She will lead you to believe you have a chance when the law clearly says you don't. Linda unanimously lost the biggest case in Family Law in Texas history at the Texas Supreme Court on a 9-0 decision. She stole thousands of dollars... from her clients by giving a false hope of a favorable outcome for them. She costs all parties involved over $250,000. She doesn't care about children, parental rights, men or women. She cares about getting paid and fighting losing battles. You're better off being pro se.

Linda Risinger is a lawyer in the Collin County, Texas area. She will tell you exactly what you want to hear and keep the case running. I have had Linda for many years. For a final hearing on a my family case, Linda shows up and starts arguing points that were not supposed to argued until a later ...date. It was also an enforcement hearing for my ex wife (who did not show up) and Linda failed to prepare or argue that case. Linda told me 'Give me 30 (or 45) days and this thing will be wrapped up.' Linda told me this in November 2014. Linda does not return phone calls or respond appropriately to me. Linda and her office staff a plagued by constant technical issues (i.e. phone does not work, network down, file not found, et al.). I realize that my case is not very interesting or important in the grand-scheme of things, but this simple case of adjusting my child support payments has cost me over $28,000 in lawyer fees and my wife gets to destroy my relationship with my children with no consequence. Save yourself some heartache and do not hire Linda Risinger.

My spouse and I were trying couples counseling, so here we were trying to work on things and she was continually adding fuel to the fire with her comments and suggestions. She is terrible at returning phone calls and keeping you informed, but it was like once she thought we might not need her servic...es, she then instigated issues. Just terrible!! This was not just our life she was adding fuel to, this was our children's as well!! Very unprofessional in my opinion. My spouses attorney was all for us working things out and rather encouraging for the benefit of our children.
