Excellent lawyer

She is handling 2 of my cases. She has gotten me custody of one of mine. And she is very responsive when I need clarification. Thank you Linda

Passionate and Practical

Linda is totally committed to achieving the best possible outcome for my case. Her preparation for court is very thorough and includes the best documentation and most recently passed laws. Despite the lies and constant misdirection of opposing counsel and their client, Linda stayed on target and w...on the day. She takes a personal interest and always provides support and encouragement. Although these things are never pleasant, I have enjoyed working with Linda and highly recommend her.

Amazing Lawyer to have on your side

I have retained Linda's services twice, and both times she has gone in swinging and came out winning! She is beautifully harsh and blunt, but only because she knows the system like no other family lawyer in Collin or Denton Counties. She will tell you exactly what is to be expected before going into... Court, and she genuinely has her clients best interest as her #1 priority. You can hire her or lose to her, I chose to hire her.

Linda was the best attorney for my divorce case!

i originally hired two different attorneys in Dallas to help me with my divorce and that was a big mistake. These two attorneys didn't care about my case and all they wanted was to charge my credit card. I hired Linda as my third attorney to help me with my divorce process and child custody. Lind...a was so good and was on top of my case. She is an excellent attorney, she will fight for you and she will get things done. Her staff is awesome too. I would recommend Linda to everyone.
