Dangerous woman

Would give negative if I could. Unscrupulous, trashy and unprofessional. No class, no ethics, let's her personal feelings get in the way. Do NOT hire her. The damage she does in child custody cases is beyond repair.

A menace to society

The damage this woman has done to our family is immeasurable. The fact that she has a license to practice law is scary.

A Lawyer I Highly Recommend

I’m grateful Lindasue was my attorney. When I ran into brick walls, she fought for my rights so that I could get on with my life during a difficult divorce. She was fair, compassionate, and available when I needed her. We were able to settle the divorce in mediation. I highly recommend her.

Excellent Criminal Defense Lawyer!

I called many attorneys in Boulder CO to help terminate my probation. They all wanted money up front, and they hardly listened to the details of my case. When I called Lindasue, she asked me to send her the documents that I had previously filed and was denied by the courts. Once Lindasue received ...the documents, it was literally within a week that I received an email with the subject "Granted!" I was surprised at how easy she made it and how quickly she got my probation terminated. So happy to end a terrible chapter in my life and so grateful for Lindasue. Oh, and she sent me an invoice. I've had some health problems and was short to pay her right away. She was so kind to allow me to pay her on my next pay date whereas the other attorneys were expecting a retainer up front to even start the process. Thank you, Lindasue!

I recommend this attorney

Linda Sue saw me through my legal case during a very stressful time in my life. She handled my case from start to finish and didn’t miss a beat when it came to legal maneuvering and timing. It was clear that she knew this area of law inside and out and provided very good guidance throughout. In the ...courtroom it was obvious that she was well respected and knew her way around procedure and protocol. She knew the individual judges and adjusted her presentation to address their particular likes or dislikes. It was clear that she had established herself as a respected officer of the court and did not need to indulge in unnecessary posturing. In bringing my case to resolution she pursued every possible angle without wasting precious time and money on unnecessarily antagonistic proceedings . She discussed every option for moving forward with me and had me make the final decision on crucial issues. She always called and informed me when there was any movement on the part of the DA or the Court and sent me copies of all information and documents she received . I never hesitated to call if I had a question and she returned my phone calls promptly. If she was in trial or couldn’t address my question immediately she made arrangements to get back to me in a timely manner. She did not waste my time or money pursuing things, that in her professional judgment, would be futile and she used the fees I paid her economically. She was also a good source of emotional support, recognizing when I was developing a “defeatist” attitude and provided strength and perspective when I ran out of my own. It was my observation that she stays on top of her game, devoting a lot of time to continuing legal education in her areas of expertise. I would recommend Lindasue highly to anyone who wants a tough, no-nonsense attorney who also has a lot of heart and compassion and puts her clients’ needs first.
