Linda Needham Risinger

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.

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.

I have used Linda for about a year for a child custody case. She did get me supervised visitation but never kept me informed during the process. I left emails, text messages, and even calls to her cell and office. She didn't respond to me for about 7 months until one day out of the blue she finally c...alled. She never mentioned receiving my emails or calls. She not once apologized for not responding. I am no longer using her once I hire a new attorney. If you are wanting to be kept in the loop about your case which you should, I would not recommend her at all!
