Poor Choice

Retained Linda Aland, paid the requested retainer, then found out that default judgment was entered against me. I had to hire another lawyer and Ms Aland would not return my retainer or even apologize. This was in 2017, but I just came across what seem to be false reviews praising her. I want peopl...e to be warned. Look her up on the Dallas County website. Commission for lawyer discipline actually took her to Court and clients have sued her!! Wish I had the checked her out before hiring her.

Excellent Lawyer

Ms. Linda Aland recently helped me to resolve my complicated divorce case quickly. I was completely dazzled by her communication skills, courage at the court hearing, and quick responses to any legal obstacles on my case. I appreciate her for the excellent work she did as my attorney. Ms. Linda... Aland's legal expertise and professionalism went above and beyond my expectations throughout the course of my case. She gets the job done. Office has a professional, polite, and caring staffs. I highly recommend Ms. Linda Aland to be on you side and to fight for your RIGHTS during difficult and emotional time.

Wouldnt advise representation here

Very expensive, didnt know where the money was going, no one would ever explain where the money went, and ended up having her withdraw. It seemed she would make fights just to expand the case. The most communication I received was for new bills for large sums of money with untold end destination or w...hat it was being used for

Very Strong Lawyer

Linda thinks of all the possibilities and does an outstanding job of protecting your interests! If you ever need someone to protect you, and to fight for you tooth and nail if necessary, I definitely recommend Linda Aland. She is the best lawyer I've ever had, and I don't know where I would be withou...t her!

Excellent Family Law Attorney

Linda is outstanding lawyer, extremely professional and a very nice person. I went through a very messy divorce with a child involved and I can't say enough how much I appreciate the work, time and efforts Linda put in my situation. She handled my divorce case, and she was absolutely brilliant! She w...ill tell you what is best for you and give you the guidance and direction to get through a tough, nasty case (child custody, support & abuse). She will not play around with you or give you false hope. Her approach is very straight forward. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs a strong, outstanding attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
