This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

professional, competent and experienced

Contacted Ms. Icenhauer-Ramirez on the recommendation of a friend. She was everything the friend said she would be (see Review Title for qualities). She told us what to expect and what the approximate timeline was. She was very good keeping us informed about where we were in the process, next steps, ...when things would likely happen, etc. I hope we never need a criminal defense attorney again but if we do, she is our first call. If anyone ever asks if I know a good criminal defense attorney, she is the name I will provide.

Wonderful!

Linda was an amazing attorney. I have had other attorneys in the past who can't even compare. She actually cares about her clients and is extremely nice. She was very responsive and great at keeping me up to date on what was going on. Nervous about my case, I consistently had questions and she was pr...ompt to answer them. I came to Linda with a class B misdemeanor when I was already on probation and did not have a clean record in the past. I thought I was more then screwed. Luckily, Linda's expertise landed me with a dismissal from the charge. I am MORE then thrilled and wish I had known about her a long time ago. Thank you so much Linda! You are wonderful!

One Reliable Attorney

Linda Icenhauer-Ramirez has been a trusted and reliable attorney for my legal needs. She listens well and knows the law, and she understands the intricate nuances of the Austin judicial system. Linda is a lawyer with empathy and has a strong sense of fairness and an ability to represent her client'...s best interests.

Great Criminal Defense Lawyer

Linda is a wonderful woman and a great lawyer. I have had experience with other criminal defense attorneys and wish that I would have called Linda sooner. She treated my case with care and respect and always kept me informed. At the time when I first contacted her, I was facing revocation of felony p...robation and was extremely scared that I may end up in prison. Immediately after first talking to her I was put at ease knowing that I had a capable lawyer with years of experience and contacts in the legal field in Austin. I would not hesitate to contact Linda for legal help. She truly wants what is best for her client. I did not end up going to prison, and one year later Linda helped get me off of probation a whole year early. Things in my life are going better than they ever have and without Linda the resolution to my criminal issues may have been different.

Great experience with Linda..

She has experience with mental health cases, which helped me extremely with my case. She was very understanding of my situation and noticed certain things right away that helped me and my case get resolved. This is the first attorney I have had to hire in my defense and i couldn't have asked for mo...re.

Criminal defense lawyer | Nov 01

Relationship: Co-worker

"I endorse this lawyer's work. Linda Icenhauer-Ramirez is a lawyer that lawyers go to for answers to complex legal questions. Her knowledge of the law is unsurpassed as are her trial skills. She is one of the few lawyers in Texas who has heard the words "Not Guilty" from a jury in a Capital Murder case. She has successfully tried many Murder cases as well as countless other less serious felonies. Her recent selection as an "Extraordinary Lawyer of Texas" was well deserved and a recognition by Texas Monthly of her preeminent status amongst Texas lawyers."
