The opposing party nevet had anything good to say.

Usually opposing parties will complain or slander the opposing parties attorney. However in my case i cant say i can say the same. Though Linda Risinger does not represent me I cant say anything bad about her nor her office. She is a pitbull in the courtroom to say the least. But also very ethical. W...hen i call she answers or promptly responds. My case is very complex with many given factors. She handles them all very professionally and promptly. I have never had any issues with Risinger and often wish i had hired her first. I give her and her firm 5 stars all the way around.

Run, don't walk

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

Great Family Law Attorney

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.

She'll educate you, fight for you, and calm you down when your fixing to loose it! She does it all!

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.
