Exceptional service and a smooth process

I have searched for a very long time for a lawyer that would help me with guardianship of my daughter and not be too expensive. Linda was very reasonable and delivered exceptional service. Everything went smoothly with the process and I did not even have to go to court. The judge signed the guardian...ship orders that Linda prepared because the judge had everything he needed. Linda prepared exceptional legal forms and handled the procedure professionally at all times.

Contract dispute resolved

Ms. Brown represented us in a contract dispute with a company that had misrepresented the benefits associated with their time share company. We did not become aware of this deception until it was too late to cancel the contract, according the the rules of the company. We contacted Ms. Brown at the ...time we learned that we had been "misinformed" by the company. She was very responsive to our initial call and at that time provided much needed advice on how to proceed. Now, 5 months later, the dispute has been resolved, and the company has agreed to rescind the contract, and all of our money has been returned to us. We credit Ms. Brown for her part in this happy resolution. At all times she showed a high level of professionalism. She is an attorney whom one can trust to be fully on one's side, and her topmost priority is clearly the welfare of her clients. At times during this dispute, we felt at a loss about what to do, and Ms. Brown gave us needed direction and a sense of confidence that we had a legitimate complaint. She is trustworthy and clearly committed to what is best for her clients. We would be very happy to recommend her to anyone who is in need of a contract lawyer.

Employment Law Matter

Dealing with an unscrupulous employer whose actions are both reprehensible and damaging is never an enjoyable experience. Not only does the fear of losing one’s job cause overwhelming emotional distress, but the fear of other possible repercussions and burdens does as well. However, while working wit...h Ms. Brown on my case, I quickly learned that one does not have to live with this fear when faced with these difficulties. From the onset of my initial consultation, to the conclusion of the matter itself, Ms. Brown was very helpful at putting me at ease with my rather stressful and seemingly overpowering worries. Although this demeanor was ultimately comforting, and not characteristic of a lawyer one might identify as powerful; Ms. Brown rose above this stereotype by never failing to perform with the motivation, insistence, effectiveness, and professionalism needed to provide me with the most powerful counsel possible. Throughout her handling of my case, she demonstrated honesty, sincerity, and forthrightness; and was openly candid and straightforward when she needed to be. Moreover, Ms. Brown’s knowledge and expertise of the law as it pertained to my case was exceedingly impressive. Further, she was timely, she kept me informed, she was very explanatory, and she never let a question go unanswered or misunderstood. In a time where even the mere mention of the word “lawyer” summons fervently negative feelings and opinions (whether justifiable or not), Ms. Brown is, undoubtedly, a breath of fresh air in a profession many believe to be fraught with the smog of nefariousness and deceit. If you are one who is considering hiring Ms. Brown to represent you in your legal matter, let me assure you that you are making the right decision.
