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

All Talk

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.

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.

Beware - You have much better options

I hired Linda to handle my divorce and custody battle. She promised results as all attorneys do but got zero results. She was disorganized, appeared to have more cases than she could manage, a revolving door of support staff, and always had excuses for not being responsive or buttoned up. She talk...ed a good game at the beginning but in the end could not deliver progress or provide good legal strategy on how to navigate a heated legal battle. She did not perform well in front of the judge. She is not as expensive as some other attorneys, but if you want to save some money and NOT get your interests represented or defended as they should then maybe she is right for you. I say beware. She is not a strong attorney. How she can be in business for this long is a mystery.
