Linda Needham 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.

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!

I wholeheartedly agree with the other review that critiqued Linda's follow through. She does not return calls and does not address issues to anything close to a timely manner (my issue was not super urgent, but had it been I would have been in a bind w/ her). I'm not sure if she's spread too thin o...r in court all day, but that's not my issue; she should not take cases if she cannot give them the attention they deserve. Once I started a project w/ her I was dissatisfied w/ her pace but you are already invested at that point. So, my rec is don't invest w/ her in the first place.

I don’t think she is intentionally malicious; she just does not follow through. (I wonder what could cause someone to sound fine and involved one day and then disappear for a week???) So things that are life and death to you and me are just everyday things that are forgotten by Linda. Unfortunat...ely, the end result of her “client neglect” is shattered lives and tremendous amounts of lost time, money and years of regret!
