She and her staff are committed to ensuring that all telephone calls are returned within 48 hours.
Linda truly sees her practice as an opportunity to help people through what is likely to be one of the most difficult times in their lives. Linda’s life experiences as well as her vast legal/courtroom experience help her to be a compassionate listener and fierce advocate when necessary.
