This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Thank you Linda!

I feel very Blessed to have found Linda States to represent me as my family law attorney. I didn't know what steps to take when I was suddenly served papers from my ex-husband. She was very helpful and understanding. She explained to me what the procedures were and how we were going to handle them.... She handled my case in an extremely competent and professional manner. I was able to reach out to her anytime of the day and she was always there to set my mind at ease. I am so pleased with the work she did and the efforts she made to make sure I had a prompt and fair settlement. I strongly recommend Linda for her ethical and professional representation of clients.

Thank You Linda!!!

This has to be one of the most challenging time of my life and to have the most trustworthy attorney makes it all that much easier. There are no words to express how thankful I was to have Linda States in my corner through my family law battle! I was involved in a very unique and challenging family... law matter and Linda has risen to the challenge. I strongly recommend Linda for her ethical and professional representation of clients. She is smart, ethical, and worked tirelessly to get the results that were warranted. Whenever I felt stressed out with my legal matters; Linda always made me feel confident again! This goes without saying, in the future, States Family Law will be my first choice for any family law matters.

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.
