Linda Needham Risinger

I hired Linda to handle my divorce and custody battle. She promised results as all attorneys do but got zero results. She was disorganized, appeared to have more cases than she could manage, a revolving door of support staff, and always had excuses for not being responsive or buttoned up. She talk...ed a good game at the beginning but in the end could not deliver progress or provide good legal strategy on how to navigate a heated legal battle. She did not perform well in front of the judge. She is not as expensive as some other attorneys, but if you want to save some money and NOT get your interests represented or defended as they should then maybe she is right for you. I say beware. She is not a strong attorney. How she can be in business for this long is a mystery.

Our first meeting was mostly consumed by her telling stories with about 2 minutes spent on my case. I had an agreement in hand and all I had to do was to get it filed. Nothing ever happened! Nothing! She said texting was her preferred method of communication. When my test didnt't get answered, I... called and got one returned phone call until I fired her eight months later. As far as i can tell, she did nothing. When I replaced her with another attorney and requested a refund of my retainer she assured me it would be in the next days mail, that was over 6 onths ago. She won't take my calls and she won't return them and won't return any part of my retainer.

RUN, don't walk from this so called attorney. Communication is non existent. She sets appointments and doesn't keep them. She disappears and you don't hear from her for days, then she just reappears. Enough strange behavior to stay far, far away. She leads you to believe she has your back and as...ks you to trust her, DON'T believe it. When it comes down to it, she will get you in more trouble than actually resolving matters. By the way, I fired her and sought out a real attorney. You've been warned but It's your decision

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.
