Linda Needham Risinger

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.

My divorce/custody case was pretty open and closed since the father defaulted on his subpoena. However, Linda’s lack of work and communication dragged this case on for almost a year, did not go through the Texas AG, and billed me for phone calls/emails that never happened. A year after the divorce ...decree was issued, I am still trying to get the Texas AG to honor my divorce decree. Basically, two years after hiring her and still nothing is done and I’m having to sort it out myself.

All she is is talk. And she actually doesn't work. I have seen no results. I get no responses to inquiry emails or phone call. I get no updates at all. I've heard other attorneys actually say the same things about her now that I'm asking around. I wish I could get my money back and move onto a dec...ent lawyer, but I'm stuck. Hopefully this will be resolved soon. And I will never make this mistake again. Please make better choices people.

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.
