Due to the complexity of my case, Linda was highly recommended by her peers. Linda was straightforward; she did not candy-coat my case in the least. Although she does not overtly share details on her plan of action, she shares what you ‘need to know’. Linda has done what others have said could not be done in a short amount of time. I would highly recommend Linda to anyone who needs legal help. If you are looking for someone whose reputation is results-driven, then Linda is the attorney for you.

Linda helped me through the struggles of my divorce. She always helped me keep my head up and my spirits high, even though I was going through the hardship of divorce. She truly helped me understand the process of my divorce and she returned my calls/emails in a timely manner. She truly has a way of understanding the personal hardships we all go through and has provided me with quality service. Thank you!

I changed attorneys because I felt my original attorney lacked experience. Based on erroneously positive reviews and her time in the field, I chose Linda. She seldom responded to my inquiries and requests for follow up and when she did it was a trivial "thank you" for which she would charge me a ridiculously high fee for. On day of court, she did not even show up but sent an associate attorney who was not familiar with the case and had even less experience than the person I replaced.

All she cares about is money! She wrote so many drafts of proposals that I never saw and was charged for. So many emails that and you are charged for each one. I would never recommend her to anyone! I had to do everything, home appraisal, and all other things and he didn't have to do any thing. He was the sole bread winner, wanted the divorce, I'm disabled and unable to work. Ended up getting a different attorney THANK GOD!

So she wrote a book, that must make her a great lawyer right? WRONG! is there an option for ZERO Stars? She is so bad I don't even know where to start. She says she will fight very hard for you then does the opposite. Her communication is horrible. She does not explain anything to you and leaves you in the dark. She is Very UNresponsive and gets back to you when she can. Her schedule is so booked that all court dates that she schedules are months longer than they should be. The Temporary Order she wrote up was canned and benefited my ex so much so that I though she was secretly working for her! Ask to see a statement and see how long it takes to get one! I got a surprise bill for over $1500 thinking I still had hours left on the retainer. All the one sentence reply emails were ridiculous which then generates more emails to ask for further explanation. 20 minute in person meeting and she charges a full hour! What a waste of money she was! !!!! Stay Away - You have been warned !!!!
