Thoughtful, informative and very kind!

I had a very emotionally and technically difficult work situation to start my year, and I'm so grateful a friend recommended I speak with Linda Fang. She was quick to respond to my initial inquiry, listened with empathy, professionalism and a bit of levity that really helped me process. She discussed... legal options, my goals, and shared with me her time and expertise to make the right decision for my situation. Although my hope would be to not have myself or a friend have the need like I did - I will certainly be keeping Linda Fang's contact information should the need arise!

Review for Linda Fang

I have been working with Linda over the past several months and can highly recommend her services. Not only is she very competent, it's clear she has a vested interest in my success as I am opening a new business. I appreciated that she took the time to introduce aspects of forming an LLC that I wasn...'t aware of in a way I could understand. Additionally, she made the process very easy on my end. Linda has been quite accommodating and flexible regarding modes of communication and times to communicate--often offering to connect outside of business hours when my schedule has been full. She is also well connected so when I've needed services outside of what she provides (CPA, business insurance, etc.), she's had great recommendations. Linda has also been clear and transparent about her fees which have been very reasonable, and I don't at all feel "nickle and dimed"--in fact I feel I get more support than I would have expected. I would--and have--easily recommend Linda to friends and will continue to use her services in the future as needed. She's a great choice to work with.

Top Notch Advocate

Ms. Fang was a zealous, yet cool-headed advocate for me in a particularly contentious case against my previous employers. Her skill at negotiation and persuasion enabled us to come to a mutually-satisfactory agreement. What is most impressive to me about Linda is that her ability to rationally set fo...rth the facts, evidence and potential liability issues to the opposing attorneys ultimate resulted in my having a great relationship with my old employers, as we all work in a relatively small community, and run into each other on a regular basis. I know that without Linda's skills, I would not have been able to obtain such a pleasant result. Now that I myself am an employer, I will retain Linda for these skills, since she is able to come up with creative solutions that make both sides happy. I believe she can help me avoid potential lawsuits as an employer, and will consult with her before making decisions that could potentially open myself up to liability. I truly believe that having represented bothe employees and employers gives Linda a unique perspective and a leg up on other attorneys.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Linda is a fantastic advocate, so as opposing counsel she will be formidable (that was how I met her). She also is fair and able to develop a professional trust in discussing the merits, or lack thereof, on both sides. This enables the parties to focus on the relevant issues and not argue over the small stuff. If you are seeking an attorney, please know that you will be in great hands with her as her intelligence and objectivity will enable zealous and fair representation of your position. If you are across from her, work with her. She practices law with the highest ethics and professionalism. Her insights are invaluable to client and opposing counsel, and she helps everyone in the process find a just outcome! I hope to work with you again!"
