Great experience

I had a bit of a wild ride with my divorce and custody matters. Linda and the team were always available to answer my questions and concerns. Everyone was empathetic towards my situation and treated me very professionally. I was always kept up to date with any actions taken and everything was communi...cated clearly and was easy for me to understand. I don't plan on getting divorced again, but if I do, I'll know who to call.

Highly Recommend Linda Lay!

Linda is amazing! This was my first experience dealing with the legal system, and during one of the most stressful times in my life she really helped calm my nerves, was so patient, kind and honest. I initially called many law firms and had many consultations and not one attorney was even remotely as... genuine as Linda was from the get go. While in court dealing with difficult attorneys, she always stayed calm, respectful and did an overall great job representing me. She never took advantage of me during my most vulnerable state. She was very responsive and always easy to communicate with. My case was a very difficult one, and Linda stayed strong and committed till the very end, and we came out with a great result! I hope to never need an attorney again, but if I ever do I will not hesitate to hire Linda again! I 100% recommend her.

Patient and Persistent

My case is one of the oldest cases on Linda’s desk. She inherited it in 2017 from another attorney after we had finalized the divorce decree. Due to my ex husband being out of state and completely uncooperative, we have continually gone back to court to enforce the decree. Most importantly, Linda ...and Carrie Hurtik were there for me when the children were not returned from a visit with my ex and he was withholding them in another state. They filed quickly and we were able to get the kids back in 10 days. They were available to me 24/7 during that difficult time. Their knowledge of the system and our judge specifically, has helped us when every battle. Thank you Linda and Carrie for caring about me and the kids.

Amazing Family Law Attorney

Linda Lay was/is absolutely amazing! I have been in a series of custody hearings over the course of 9 years! She by far is one of the most amazing attorneys and made me feel as though I was being heard on all accounts and took the time understand and get up to speed of all that had transpired over a... very lengthy ongoing battle. She did win my case and has stayed in contact following the last trial. She is amazing at communication...the absolute best I have come across in 9 years! I highly recommend!!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Linda is an outstanding attorney. She co counseled a trial with me recently and both my client, his team and I were impressed with the level of knowledge she brings to the table. Not only does she have the hard skills, but she also has the soft skills: she's highly empathic and was able to anticipate my client's needs during trial better than I could. She seemed to notice little details that really made a difference and she was quick and sharp-witted on objecting timely during direct and cross examinations. She's also very down-to-earth and our team all truly enjoyed working with her."

Throughout our time working together, I have witnessed her unwavering dedication to her clients, her deep expertise in family law, and her impeccable professionalism. Linda is truly compassionate, always taking the time to understand her clients’ unique situations and offering them not just legal guidance but also the empathy and emotional support they need during what can be a very challenging time. She treats every person with the utmost respect and courtesy, and her commitment to serving her clients is evident in everything she does. She is well-versed in all aspects of family law and is always prepared. I’ve seen Linda work tirelessly to ensure her clients’ rights are protected. I am proud to have had the opportunity to work alongside her and see firsthand the positive impact she has on her clients’ lives."

Relationship: Family member

"Linda is a very kind and compassionate attorney. But she will give it to you straight to make sure you do not get blindsided or surprised by how your case progresses. She is very intelligent but what puts her over the edge is her will to win. I highly recommend Linda if you are looking for someone to help you with your bankruptcy, family, personal injury, or wills/estates issues. She embodies all the characteristics of a successful attorney and will work her ass off to make sure you get the best results possible for your case."
