Linda J Claypool

My divorce dragged on because my ex-husband didn't cooperate with the system. Linda was able to help me close this chapter and secure my child custody. She was always very honest and helpful. She was always there through the court hearings and always available when I had questions. I appreciate all t...he work she has done for me over the last 8 years. I have recommended her to close friends who have also been happy with her work.

Linda has been my Child Custody lawyer since 2006. She is extremely knowledgeable and easy to talk to. She has always kept me informed and sent paperwork in a timely manner. If I had a question or conern she and her assistant Stephanie were always willing to help. I would definitely recommend Linda a...s a lawyer.

I called Linda a few months back with some hesitation of hiring another attorney for my visitation/custody case. From day one, she assured me that she would do what is in the best interest of my daughter and has always exceeded my expectations. She is responsive in a timely manner, she is trustwort...hy and honest and she has always been cautious of the fees and respects that I am on a tight, single mom budget. Stephanie at her office is always a pleasure to speak with and always makes herself available to help when she can.

Linda completed my divorce in 2010, which went very smooth. I'm purchasing a home at this moment and found out my support needed to be adjusted to help me qualify with the loan underwriters. I contacted her last Friday (on her day off) and she contacted me within minutes. I told her my predicament ...and then provided her the required documents. On Monday she and her staff had the documents ready to sign and submit to the judge. Today is Wednesday and they are signed by the judge. She has saved my home purchase and my sanity! Thank you Linda

Very disappointing experience. Should have gone with my gut instincts I had of looking for someone else after the initial consultation but I gave her a shot and hate to admit but I regret it. I gave her the 2500 retainer fee. I obtained her after my paperwork had already been filed via pro-per. She c...ame to my court date and had another client so had to bounce back and forth between court rooms ( totally understandable). Then when my judge was ready with the other case so we had to wait until after lunch. ( understandable too although time is money). After the court date we had another scheduled. I called to talk to her and the receptionist told me to send over an email so I did that for Linda to review. I sent the email with all my questions on 1/23/13. No response. Then a reminder email on 1/29/13. No response. I did not receive a response back until 2/12/13! In the response however, she did state she was very sorry for the delay. ( I don't like paying for sorrys. I like paying for timely service). I went to mediation with what I felt was no direction and after mediation I called, complained, sent an email and told her I no longer wanted her services. My invoice at the time was 900 out of a 2500 retainer fee. ( non refundable ). I emailed her and let her know that while I knew the retainer was non refundable, due to the services of why I was no longer wanting her assistance maybe she could see about refunding some. Well it was very nice that she did... She gave me 205.00 back. (Not impressive). In the charges was 300.00 for the free initial consultation. In the letter she stated she was charging me for it now (amongst other things). Now while I know that the 2500 was not refundable, you would think that due to the VERY Long delayed responses (20 days) and the lack of paperwork needing to be done, and what i felt was a total lack in any direction whatsoever, she could have found it in her heart to be a little more accommodating. All in all, my personal opinion.. I would search elsewhere.
