Linda is one of the best attorneys I have had the pleasure to meet and do business with. She is extremely professional, compassionate, and very dedicated to her client. Her number one priority is the safety and wellbeing of your child. She is fair, intelligent, and always available. I have personally retained Linda for three different issues over the past 10 years and was extremely satisfied with the results.
Linda is not only an amazing lawyer she is a wonderful human being and is a shining example of a lawyer with a big heart who's passion for helping others is always apparent. I have worked with a lot of attorneys before and have found working with Linda to be a pleasure. She is extremely responsive and compassionate. She went the extra mile for us.
In a practice area filled with jaded, pessimistic lawyers for whom the allegedly paramount goal of acting in the best interests of the child is too often only paid lip service and frequently ignored in favor of furthering the personal vend.
