Linda Mason Wilgis

Through Linda’s legal representation, the court awarded me custody of my grandson. My grandson was living with me to avoid the abuse he experienced in his own home. This was a particularly challenging situation for many major reasons. (1) My grandson’s divorced parents lived in another state, whic...h created legal complications for obtaining guardianship. (2) We had no “hard” evidence of my grandson’s abuse with his family due to his living 100’s of miles away. (3) Social services in his home state wanted to reunite my grandson with his father, who was his primary abuser. (4) For several hearings, as long as his mother phoned into the court, I was not granted custody of my grandson. Linda not only did the legal work with the court system, she worked as an intermediary for me in numerous discussions with my grandson’s parents. This combination of legal skills and acumen resulted in my having permanent third-party custody of my grandson. He will have the safe life I promised him by growing up in my home.

Linda successfully achieved a significant modification of child support and maintenance in my favor. Her hard work and effectiveness gave my family and me stability and security in our lives. She went above and beyond to meet and exceed my expectations and needs as a client. Linda is a lawyer that ge...nuinely cares and made my well-being and best interests her top priority. Linda kept me informed and made sure I understood what was going on. She always wanted to know what I thought and what I wanted, becoming my advocate and making the entire experience collaborative. Linda gave me the courage to brave intimidating legal waters. The settlement she finalized was far greater than what I could have imagined. Linda gave me hope and a future. She is an absolute blessing for not just her work as an exceptional lawyer, but her ongoing compassion and caring that has cultivated a relationship between us as friends.
