PROFESSIONAL, KNOWLEDGEABLE

We met with Atty Ed Lindain regarding an alimony situation. He was very warm and knowledgeable. He patiently gathered all information needed and made sure to inform us of what steps he will be undertaking to handle the situation. Atty Ed definitely acted on behalf of our best interest. He made ...sure that we would get a fair outcome of the case. We are so grateful he handled our case. If you’re looking for a no nonsense, knowledgeable lawyer who will make sure you know every step needed to win your case, look no further. Atty Ed will step up to the plate and will go above and beyond for you. He’s not just a lawyer, he also became a good friend. Thank you Atty for all your help.

Lindain Law Firm: Going Above and Beyond for their Clients

I am so happy and incredibly grateful to Attorney Ed Lindain and his team for their exceptional assistance in taking care of my case. From start to finish, they demonstrated professionalism, efficiency and absolute and genuine care. The entire team was very responsive every time I have a query (w...hich is very often), they're very patient with me in spite of all the millions of questions I have. They made sure it was a stress free experience for me. Thanks to their dedication and guidance, my application was approved without any issues. I highly recommend The Lindain Law Firm. They truly go above and beyond for their clients!

Changing my immigration status from student to permanent resident

Their office was very prompt to answer inquiries, and they were organized as much as possible. They gave lists when needed especially with the requirements, set up meetings in a timely manner, and accommodated our schedules. Atty. explained the rationale behind every step of the process and thoroughl...y explained my options and possible outcomes. They were very transparent with fees from start to end.

Double thumbs up for Atty Ed!

Atty Ed & his associates help us to go through the process of our immigration applications. They were always available to assist & giving immediate solution if problem arise. ( it happened when I missed my biometrics schedule because I was tested positive for Covid) I was rescheduled just 2weeks aft...er the original date. They teaches us step by step on how to go through the documentation for my son’s petition.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
