“I chose to work in criminal defense because everyone deserves proper representation when something as important as their liberty is at stake”.. “The thing I love about being a lawyer is helping others who are unfamiliar with the judicial process”.. There are two things you should know about Stephen Lebedevich – he’s a team player, and he likes to win (did we mention that, in his spare time, he’s a competitive volleyball player?) Stephen’ s experiences on the court have made him the lawyer that he is – he knows how to work with other people to achieve a common goal, and he is willing to put in long hours and tons of effort in order to improve. His competitive nature also means that he plays to win and takes his cases extremely seriously. Of course, Stephen knows how to have fun too, and is often the one lightening the mood in the office with his mini basketball hoop and world-cup attire (he’s always the first to sport a USA jersey).

I’m an attorney with over twenty years experience drafting contracts, managing teams and projects, resolving disputes, negotiating settlements, and handling real estate transactions. I purchased and renovated my first home in 2005.. I know the importance of a comprehensive remodeling contract laying out the parties’ agreement, responsibilities, and expectations. It’s the best opportunity to ensure everyone’s on the same page. But signing the contractor’s document is not good enough. That contract protects the contractor. It must be revised to protect the homeowner’s interests as well.. While the contract is the foundation for a successful remodel, the homeowner must still play an active role in the process. I was fortunate to have readily transferable skills, but it’s easy to feel overwhelmed when you don’t know what to do or expect. That’s why legal coaching and support are essential.. I founded Renovation Legal so no one would have to navigate renovations alone or feel intimidated by the experience. A strong contract and ongoing support can help you have the home of your dreams.

In addition to being in private practice for over 20 years, Ernest was formerly in-house counsel for Eastman Kodak, General Electric, and Norlin Corp. and a professor of law at Albany Law School.

If you've been hurt because someone else broke the rules, then you deserve someone who will get you the best result and who will be with you every step of the way. I believe in getting the best for each of my clients and in listening to what they have to say. Some people hire an attorney to represent them for their injuries, and they never get to talk to their attorney. That's not right. I make it a point to be available to my clients to help them with their case and help them get the best result they can.. Some attorneys will just settle a case for whatever low amount of money that the insurance company offers. That's not right either. To get the most for your case, it takes an attorney who is willing to put in the extra work and who is willing to be with you until the end. Whether it is settling your case out of court or holding wrongdoers accountable in trial, I'll make sure that I put my clients first.. Call for a free consultation and case evaluation. No Fee Unless You Win.

Dear Reader,. First, thank you for read this "About Me" section.  Like looking to hire a contractor for your next home project, I believe it is important that litigants research and learn about any attorney they are considering hiring for their familly-law matter.  When it comes to spending your money and protecting your most precious assets (children and assets), trusting and having faith in your attorney is vitally important.. I have been practicing family law in California since 2001.  My experience in many California family-law courts has taught me that first understanding the big picture and ultimate goal of their case is so important when commencing or responding to a family law matter--whether it be in a divorce, custody matter and/or support matter--or any other type of family-law matter.  Based on my many years of family-law experience, I work with my full-representation and coaching clients to help them understand the importance of how to best proceed with their family-law matter.  For instance, before a person decides to run to family-law court, for any legal reason, I strongly believe it's very important that the individual first understand the risks, benefits and possible consquences of their actions--as well as understand the chances their lawsuit will be successful.  Also, unlike many family-law attorney, I am a strong advocate of teaching my clients the fundamental basics of the legal process and procedures--since many family-law cases continue for many years--well-after their attorney is no longer in the picture.  A general working knowledge of the law, procedures and local rules (and judges) is vitally important so that litigants can set reasonable expectations regarding the outcome of their case.. My family-law practice consists of  providing full legal representation (traditional legal services) about 80% of the time to clients who can afford full legal representation. For the remaining 20% who cannot afford to hire an attorney to represent them, but genuinely need some type of legal help, I provide what is known as "unbundled legal services." For instance, legal coaching is a form of unbundled legal services.  Regardless of the type of family-law legal services you need, I am able to help.. My personal experience also helps me help my clients. My first marriage ended in divorce in 1995 and I was a single parent for the entirety of my kiddo's childhod. Thus, I know and also understand the complex and intricate emotional component of  family-law issues--which are unique to this area of law. This is why I am a major proponent of practicing compassionate law and extending a compassionate ear and patient mentality when helping my clients navigate their family-law case. Don't believe me?  Check out on Avvo,  Google and Yelp to learn what others are saying about me.. I look forward to talking with you about your family-law case,. Sincerely,. Linda C. Garrett
