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.

Above and Beyond

Linda Aland has been working with us since the death of my father 3 years ago. She did an incredible job with the handling of the estate (also considering there was no will.) She has been with us ever since giving excellent counsel on handling legal matters -everything from taxes to paperwork. Very k...indhearted person, and an excellent lawyer.

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.
