Linda G Haines

Linda tried very hard to get me to take a plea deal and even thought I was a different person with the same name. I hardly had any contact with her because she was hard to reach. I knew I was innocent and she assured me if the victim hadn't been subpoenaed she would file for a dismissal. Instead she ...filed a continuance behind my back and withdrew as my lawyer. I was very upset because I didn't want to continue, I wanted a trial. I felt all she was trying to do was incriminate me and would undermine any evidence I gave her. I suspect she works with the DA and tries to help him get convictions. Don't hire her!

Linda Haines is (literally) ranked the lowest, as in most undesirable, CIDC Member Lawyer for all of Clackamas County. If you find yourself to have been ill-fated enough to be charged with a crime and then had Linda Haines appointed to represent you, your best course of action is to fire her immedi...ately (or request she recuse herself) and seek anyone else to represent you aside from her. She does absolutely nothing for her "clients" aside from trying to pressure them into signing court documents that are not drafted in their favor or interest. She's most definitely not a trial attorney, nor a defense attorney, she's hardly even a paralegal that should have retired a decade ago and left this profession long behind. She's more concerned with the rising price of Marlboro Red's and whether or not she's going to make it to her evening watering hole before happy hour ends than she is with any case that fait-fully crosses her desk. And her personal appearance in court is exactly what others have stated on this platform - she'll show up looking like she literally just rolled out of bed, grabbed a non-matching pair of pants and a blazer, put on her beat up old Sketchers tennis shoes, smoked a pack of cigarettes on the drive over, and still manages to always show up at least 20 minutes late, guaranteed. You've been warned!

I had Linda G Beloof as my public defender back in 2006 to take my Felony Charge against me. I went to see her after her secretary sent me a letter to come see her 5 days before the trial. The first time I went to see her, her secretary gave me paper work to plead guilty. Her secretary told me that w...as in my best interest to do that. I asked the secretary what I should do and she told me that Linda told her to tell me that I need to plead guilty. I had no one to tell me any different so I signed that I wanted to take the plea agreement and I would stay out of prison. I finally go to go back and see Linda and the first thing she told me was that I was a liar and no one would belive me so I have to plead guilty. I told her that I did not do what they said I did and I needed her help to defend me and she said again that I was a liar and my only way was to plead guilty. She said I was young and guilty in what I did. I wish I would of known better and asked for another lawyer.She is a bad person and lawyer and she should not work in the law dept. All she is about is the money and not to help clients. The worst part was that I had to pay her and I have a felony on my record and can not have a good job or a family and support them because of Linda G Beloof
