Practice Areas: Civil , Family , Personal Injury, Probate , Child Custody
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
