Linda is exceptionally honest, trustworthy, thorough and serious about her clients and firm. Her expertise and professionalism go above and beyond, as she truly represents with your best at heart. I spent two years with Linda and not only do I highly recommend her, but would personally hire her a million times over. All these years later and I remain indefinitely grateful for Linda’s guidance and representation.
“We laughed, we cried, we laughed some more.” Linda and her team worked tirelessly on my case; always quick to offer an empathetic ear and give honest expecations for outcomes. Watching Linda in court was awe-inspiring. She left no stone untrurned and we did actually share a few laughs along the way.
Linda is hands down the best family law lawyer. She will get it done and she will fight and advocate for you and your child(ren)! Wouldn’t go with anyone else but Linda Watson and the team at Watson Law!!!
