Lindasue Smollen

The first time I met with Lindasue she advised me not to get divorced because of the stress. How many attorneys are that honest? Once my husband filed, she had great advice all the way along. She always knew when I was being played but never pushed me toward more conflict which, in the end, might hav...e gotten her more money. She did everything she could to keep her fees reasonable - I always felt she had my best interests in mind (not always true with divorce attorneys). She had my back. When there was something unethical happening from my ex's attorney, she saw it right away and jumped on it. She's just aggressive enough to not let someone walk over you, but not so aggressive to start unnecessary conflicts/litigation. I have huge respect for Lindasue and recommend her to anyone getting divorced. She really CARES about her work and her clients.

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.

Lindasue Smollen receives the highest recommendation in all areas from me. She has the backbone needed to resolve a five year post divorce decree case involving child support and real estate. She was my fourth attorney and within six months navigated the case to closure. Her long standing career in t...he Boulder legal network gave her the advantageous intuitive edge to work with judges and to select effective mediators. She showed the utmost sensitivity to my needs as a client . Not only was she very supportive, but also showed an appropriate level of professional empathy. Ms. Smollen split the case into two manageable parts; and we only proceeded with one part at a time. Once I accomplished the homework assignments, then I would call her and set up the next meeting. Thus, the "flow" of the case was client-centered and not so overwhelming. Lindasue Smollen is a highly organized attorney. She methodically gathered the five year history and realized that previous attorneys and mediators had not court-filed some documents. She filled in all the missing legal documents and filed them with the court. We prepared our best "air tight" case including clearly presented spread sheets and all supporting documents. Together, we dotted every single "I" and crossed every single "T." She filed all new motions in a timely manner. The motions were exceedingly thorough with cross reference links to related cases. She kept a strong forward momentum throughout the entire case. As with all successful attorneys, Lindasue has the savvy psychological component needed to determine the pacing, necessary strategies, and character of all involved. She furthermore has the heart to empathize and create long term solutions for her client which promote peace of mind.
