Fought For My Future AND WON!

I don’t even know where to start… but I will start with one woman, and her name is Attorney Danielle Linker! She is, hands down, the baddest (and I mean in a good way) attorney I have ever witnessed in my life. My divorce didn’t start with an attorney. I started with a paralegal because “I thought...” it would be an open-and-shut case. I assumed my ex would comply, but he did not—he wanted money out of my home. When I realized a fight was what he wanted, I knew I needed someone talented who truly knew the court system inside and out, to include my County. After reading countless reviews for several law firms, I landed on Bratton & Razo. The moment I met with Danielle Linker, her strategy was exactly what I wanted, and I retained them on the spot. I had no idea this process would take six long years - no fault of Bratton & Razo. In the midst of it all, I went through three major surgeries and lost both my mom and my dad. Through all that grief, Danielle never let me lose hope. On top of everything else, my ex decided to marry another woman *before* our divorce was even final. Yes, I had to deal with him being a bigamist! Danielle’s strategy was simple: she said don’t say anything, and don’t call the police. I didn't want to comply at first, but I hired her for her expertise, so I followed her advice. Long story short: The day before our final trial, Danielle fell incredibly ill with strep throat. She texted me on a Sunday to let me know she didn't know if she could make it, and that if she couldn't, someone else from the firm would step in to file a continuance. Of course, I immediately went into prayer for her health. Danielle told me she would text me by 10 or 11 AM the next morning to let me know her status. Lo and behold, who comes walking into the courtroom lobby? Nobody but Danielle! She’d texted me saying she felt better, and I am telling you, she didn't even look sick (though she wore a mask so she wouldn’t spread anything). When she arrived, she saw my ex sitting in the lobby, walked right up to him, and professionally—but firmly—let him have it for hanging up in her face weeks prior; I knew right then and there that we were going to win. When we got into the courtroom, my ex fully assumed I would have to pay him something out of the equity of my home. But I am writing this review to tell you that I did not have to pay him one red cent! He got absolutely nothing, and I walked away with everything. It was a combination of Danielle's brilliant tactics and the power of God prevailing in that courthouse on my behalf. We walked out of that courtroom in 20 minutes flat with my house secured in my hands. Bratton & Razo is second to none. If you are looking for a law firm to represent you, please do not waste your time looking anywhere else. Everyone in the office is kind, patient, and truly listens. Even if you ask the exact same question over and over again, they will answer you with grace. I am so deeply grateful to Danielle Linker for how she fought for me and how she showed up for me. I later found out that her own mother told her she was too sick to go to trial that morning. Danielle told her mom—and I’m trying to hold back tears just typing this—"That woman has been waiting six years for this divorce to be finalized. I cannot let her down." I cannot tell you how grateful I am. Danielle is my girl—she is my ride-or-die. She fought for me, and if you need someone to fight for you in a divorce, please do not waste your time. And please, don't try to nickel-and-dime the attorney fees, because they are worth every single penny. I appreciate them and thank God from the bottom of my heart for such a wonderful firm as Bratton & Razo, and of course, my girl Danielle!

Danielle Linker - Excellent Attorney

Ms. Linker is truly an amazing attorney! She is very knowledgeable in family law. I met with several attorneys to determine who was going to represent me in my divorce proceedings. I knew quickly it would be Ms. Linker. She came across honest and sincere. She did not tell me what I wanted to hear, sh...e told me the facts and applied the law. She provided solutions that saved me money and netted a positive result. She is truly a professional who knows what she is doing. I strongly recommend her and would use her again, if needed!

Highest Recommendation

I cannot recommend Danielle strongly enough. If you are looking for an attorney who listens to you, fights for you, and has a favorable reputation with the courts, then you should certainly trust her with your case. Her communication is timely, efficient, and effective. Danielle is more than fair in ...her billing practices and she knows when and how to push in the courtroom. The Judge in my case had nothing but complimentary sentiments toward her and it is evident that her competence has impressed many. I do not give my highest recommendation lightly, especially in such a contentious arena as the legal system. Also, I was not incentivized in any way for writing this review. Do yourself a favor and invest in your future by hiring Danielle Linker for your case.

Relax, she has got your back!!

Going through a divorce is a very traumatic experience. Emotions can get in the way of making good decisions. Danielle was so instrumental in keeping me on track and working toward a fair outcome. I was so impressed when I wanted to be able to settle and not go to court which would have cost a lot of... money. She was very supportive of my settling which surprised me, most attorneys want to go to court as it is much more lucrative for them. I know that some attorneys will even feed fuel to the fire to amp up the conflict between parties. Danielle did not do this, she remained fair and was able to explain in an honest way what I could expect in all scenarios. I am happy to report that ultimately we were able to settle and did not go to court, and surprisingly both my ex and I were happy with the end result...imagine that!

The BEST divorce attorney ever!

When looking for a lawyer to help me resolve my marriage of 33 years, having no experience in divorce and a great fear of the process, I talked with all of my friends, many of whom had been divorced about where to find a good attorney. Not a single one of my friends had anything good to say about any... of the attorneys they hired. So, I went online to yelp. Where else would a novice turn? I found almost no lawyers that were rated above 3 stars and none of the better ones were in my area. Then, I stumbled upon Ms. Danielle Hunt (Danielle Linker now) and she had only a few reviews but they were all 5 star ratings. So, I called her office to inquire. They offered me a free 15 minute consultation in a couple of days. I took it and Danielle was amazing! She spent probably 40 minutes with me and really helped me explain what to expect. Finances were a problem for me but, I figured out a way to get here initial retainer and hired her. From day 1 she jumped on my case. I never felt like I was one of many. I really felt like she was working hard for me. She never missed a beat; never confused my case with another, never forgot the opposing attorney or my ex's names, never left out important details, and never cut me short on time or effort. Yet, although it was difficult for me to pay what a divorce costs, she never overcharged me. She was more than fair and most important....SHE GOT RESULTS!!! She had to put opposing attorney in line a few times and she did not shy away from doing that. I recommend Danielle to any and all who are reasonable about their expectations and just want excellent representation. Although this is my first divorce, it is not my first rodeo. I have been in business for many years and dealt with lawyers in other venues many many times. Ms. Linker is the best!

I would be happy to work with her again in the future. I endorse this lawyer."
