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!

Extremely Professional!

Danielle and her staff did a great job at handling my divorce case and the baseless restraining order my ex brought against me a year later. She did an excellent job of walking me through the process and explaining what was going on. She was always always available to answer any questions I had and d...id a great job preparing for the hearings. Danielle wasted no time in asking the judge for a motion to dismiss once it became clear that my ex was grasping at straws and had absolutely no case. Her tenacity is unmatched and I would not hesitate to hire her again (lets hope I do not have to though!)!

Mel - Petitioner in divorce case

Danielle was a breath of fresh air from the very start of my situation. I sought her out as my attorney to represent me in my divorce. I was the petitioner and I have a child. She was encouraging, extremely knowledgeable and very accessible. I never felt like I was doing this on my own. The office st...aff were amazing and always very helpful. Danielle was able to help me arrive at a settlement out of court. I always felt that she prioritized my best interests as opposed to me simply being a client. I highly recommend her to anyone going through a family law case.

I had been going through the process with a different lawyer, with whom nothing was ever accomplished. Every step forward, we took two back. I then hired Ms Linker. She was so excellent. We had weekly communication by either phone or email. She was always available. Her office staff was amazing. She ...saved me a huge amount of money. I was so discouraged when I hired her. From our first conversation, she gave me hope. She did all that she said she would. In a very timely fashion. Also, there was no hidden fees. She gave me a price, and made it happen. I literally cant say enough good about her. She knows the law!!! She is punctual, efficient, and just gets it done!!! Im literally in her debt.

An amazing advocate to have on your side!

Danielle is an amazing attorney to have on your side! Custody battles are long and stressful but Danielle made it as painless as it could be. She, along with her team, were easy to communicate with. When I had any questions or worries, they were prompt to address it and help ease my nerves. She’s str...aight forward and was honest about having realistic expectations that benefitted our son’s best interest. Danielle not only provided a strategic game plan that delivered results but also helped prep me before mediation and every court session to map out our approach. She made me feel prepared and ready for whatever that could arise. More so, Danielle is quick on her feet which plays a huge factor in court. She’s not like other firms that aren’t prepared for their cases or don’t care to remember details about their cases. She was knowledgeable about my case and knew exactly what to say to defend me when the opposing counsel was not being truthful or provided false information. Danielle’s amazing team of experienced attorneys and paralegals deserve recognition too! They were on top of everything! I interviewed and met with over a handful of firms but ultimately decided on Danielle because she was honest and personable. I’m beyond happy with Danielle's services. Custody battles that end up on court are usually with partners who have been too difficult to work with outside of court. You want to make sure you put in your all if you decide to go into ligation to accomplish anything. That’s where Danielle surpasses expectations, she managed to help me win the case and finally get the custody I’ve been unsuccessfully been fighting for all these years until now. Needless to say, I highly recommend Danielle and her team to anyone in need of a family attorney!
