Caring, committed, and knowledgable

I found Linda when a close friend was detained in Texas seeking asylum. We couldn't have asked for a more caring, committed, and knowledgeable attorney. On the very same day that I finalized the paperwork, Linda drove over an hour to the detention center to go visit my friend, stayed loooooong after ...5pm and talked with me afterwards for over an hour. She continued to answer our questions, calm our fears, and fight for my friend throughout the time he was detained. Linda has worked on many asylum cases for Central Americans and is very knowledgeable about country conditions. It was a HUGE relief to know that Linda was watching out for my friend. Linda also charged far less (less than 1/3) of what other attorneys quoted me. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

I was honored to have assisted your friend as this detention system for immigrants is unfair and being run by for-profit prisons making it a business to warehouse people who should not be detained. Glad we got him released!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I am very impressed with Linda's excellent quality of work, particularly on her preparation with clients on their credible fear interviews. She is a creative (essential in winning asylum) and passionate lawyer who will fight till the end for her clients. She fought hard for an asylum client who almost got deported if it wasn't for her determination to get him another credible fear interview. I highly recommend Linda as a trustworthy and excellent immigration lawyer."
