Caring and Involved Attorney

Linda cares for her client and is involved in your case completely. Both are qualities you won't find in the majority of attorneys. She is experienced and uses her knowledge to look at the case from various aspects; rather than collecting a retainer and carelessly shuffling your case thru the system.... We recommend using her as your family law attorney. She helped us with a very stressful spousal support termination case and she was a blessing for our family.

Understanding and Knowledgeable

Linda has helped me with my case for many years. Every time she gives me the confidence that I need and the knowledge that I lack to understand what the next steps in the process will be. She always makes time for clients including me and really cares about the well being of her clients and the child...ren involved. It is a safe feeling knowing that Linda has so many years of experience in north county and has good relationships with her fellow lawyers. I would highly recommend her. I am grateful that she is not only my lawyer but also my friend.

Amazing!

Linda is nothing short of amazing!! I had a move away case that I was very worried about, especially after finishing my divorce with an attorney that did nothing to help me. After finding Linda on yelp, I decided to give her a call and after meeting her I knew I wanted her help! She was knowledgeable..., hardworking, and kind! I knew she believed in me, and my case. She made one of the most stressful times in my life so much easier and much less nerve wracking. She went above and beyond for my case. I would highly recommend Linda!

Good advise

I got the correct guidance on what can I do and what I can not do.

Fantastic, Efficient, Divorce Attorney

Linda was my third attorney and clearly the best by a long short. My first attorney was a joke, my second attorney was not really interested in my case and Linda Alexander was the attorney that I should have had from the beginning! I would have ended the divorce more quickly (it went on for 5 year...s because of the first attorneys), I would have ended up with a better settlement and I would have probably felt kinder to my ex. This lady is fast, efficient, spends the necessary time to get the job done and has insights that no one else offered. I cannot recommend her more. I would have saved a fortune by going to her first!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
