Contracts and agreements lawyer | Oct 15

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Linda DeStephano has a firm grasp of contract principals and how to use them to effectively analyze a case. Her incite into the less obvious means of contract formation and its implications greatly improve argument in litigation. Attorney DeStephano’s business background makes her the obvious choice as legal consultant or co-counsel whenever an agreement of any kind is a key factor in the litigation. I have productively consulted her on a case involving a major bank, and the effect of a loan modification offer. Bright, dedicated, and passionate, Linda DeStephano is a contract specialist I recommend."

  • 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.
