Prompt Service

Had a small issue with a client, contacted Mr. Linvilles office from a referral, Mr. Linville offered some advice and help with my issue. I would use this office for services in the future should the situation ever arise, thank you, Jonathan

We chose well being your client!

I was really very stressed and frustrated when I got this lawsuit, I had no idea since I went to the Labor & Industries contractors class. We had never imagined the outcome of the proceedings, we thought we would lose our business. We learned so much in this litigation process. We appreciate your e...xpertise, which is your excellent legal experience and knowledge. You have handled our case very well, including good arrangements for our Chinese interpreter, saving our time, even if we speak Chinese. Prompt information and email updates were very helpful. We feel confident because you are our attorney. THANK YOU Larry!

Sheer Genius!

Do you like to be a winner? Of course you do. To accomplish that in the legal world you have to hire the smartest lawyer in the room. Larry Linville hands down is the smartest. If you add his wit, integrity and decades of uparalleled legal knowledge what you get is the best legal representation aroun...d. I pity the lawyer who has to argue anything against Larry. Over the years Larry has represented our small construction company in several cases. The amount of time, energy, passion and generosity he has put into helping us is hard to quantify. We owe him a debt of gratitude for representing us so well. There is no other attorney I would even consider calling. Oh, did I forget to mention we WON every single case Larry fought on our behalf? Don't be that other guy. Be the one standing in the winners cirlce. Call Larry Linville.

What a guy, what a firm!

What I like about Linville Law Firm is that it is a family firm. I personally work with Larry Linville who has been my go to guy for contracts for years. Larry has two sons Christian and David who are also wonderful attorneys. When I walk into the firm I am always surprised at how warm and friendly e...veryone is. Ever face you see has a smile on it from the legal secretary, to the paralegals, to the attorney’s everyone seems happy to see you, and happy to be at work. As the managing partner Larry had obviously done a great job building such a wonderful firm. When I hear my peers talk about how much they loath going to see their lawyer I always think to myself I actually like seeing Larry and the rest of the team at Linville Law Firm. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like having to deal with contract disputes but hey that’s part of the job. I take comfort in knowing that I have a friendly atmosphere to go to. I always mention to my coworkers, family, and friends that experiences with attorneys aren’t a miserable experience, if you have the right attorney! It is with great confidence that I recommend Larry Linville and the team at Linville Law Firm. They are honest (even if it is not in your favor) they are up front (with cost and timelines) and they are always friendly and willing to help. Do yourself a favor and see for yourself!

Agressive and pleasant to work with

I just wanted to take the time to tell others what an amazing experience I had working with Lawrence Linville. No one like to be involved in litigation, however, Larry makes it as easy as it can possibly be. My small construction business was involved in a lawsuit last year. Larry was communicative, ...aggressive and easy to work with. I appreciated his no nonsense style and pleasant demeanor. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking legal counsel.
