Linda Needham Risinger

Linda Risinger is an incredibly efficient and knowledgeable attorney that will do what she can to get her client what is possible by law. Sometimes it is hard for people to respect the fact that the law only permits certain actions and that their are limitations to what can be done in many cases. But... Linda Risinger will fight for her clients and most importantly for the best interests of involved children. She represented me on multiple issues and did for my family what the highest priced attorneys in the DFW metroplex said was simply not possible. If Linda Risinger does not immediately answer calls it is probably because she is a high demand attorney fighting for her clients in court or handling the very sensitive issue cases that make her the knowledgeable lawyer that she is on so many different issues. I don't want a lawyer who has tons of time to chat- I want a lawyer who wins! And she will do just that! She communicates what is necessary and be assured she will always take all the time a client needs to sit and discuss the case with her. She definitely invests in her clients just as we invest in her. I never write reviews for anything but Linda Risinger changed my life and protected my family. I will be forever grateful.

I'm currently a client of Linda's. She is a very up front and honest person. She doesn't beat around the bush and always tells it like it is. This can be intimidating to some, but that can be a very good thing during cross examination of opposing counsel. She doesn't have a platform (i.e. The Fathers... Attorney) such as someone like Randy Essenburg who claims to be for the kids but is really only for fathers with money. Linda is simply all about the client and the best interest of the children and the family as a whole. I recommend always being honest and open with your attorney and she is very good at taking the information you give her and presenting it very well in court. She is a great mediator and communicator and will work very hard on your case. She stays very busy with a lot of CPS and domestic violence cases and is in court a lot. She is highly sought out for her experience. Not every attorney is perfect but she's pretty awesome. If your looking for someone to coddle you all the time, she isn't the person to go to. She is great at calming ya down when you feel like you are about to lose it, but I would avoid calling every 15 min or even every day. She's simply too busy to handle that need for communication from a client. I will go to say that cases take time. If your case is supposed to be pretty so easy then do the divorce yourself and stop complaining if it takes time. If you can't reach Linda, (she's definitely in court) but I recommend getting onto the county records site (whichever is handling your case) and checking for any status' there. I do everyday to see if opposing counsel has filed anything new and to check on my husbands criminal matter. Linda knows what she's doing and works hard. Like any attorney she loves to win and will go to battle with confidence. I highly disagree with the negative comments on here because it's definitely not the Linda I've come to know. She's fairly priced. Is very helpful and super patient- especially with my divorce proceedings. She is pretty good at responding to emails and calls/texts. Her assistant Vanessa is wonderful too and does a great job in giving case updates.

Linda handled my divorce and custody case. Her representation could not have been better. Yes, she is busy but do you really want a lawy who is not. But she did return all of my phone calls promptly and answered all of my questions completely. She was understanding and caring. I really could not ...have hired better counsel. I wonder if the other "reviews" are from clients who did not pay thier bills in the end or some other beef. Probably so because I could not have wanted any better.

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.

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.
