Attorney Minkoff represented us for custody battle with my daughter's mother. During the entire process Attorney Minkoff outlined the expectation of the process and time after time proved her self to be a competent professional in representing us in court. I would highly recommend Attorney Minkoff as advocate to represent you in court.

Linda is the consummate professional. Her manner of communicating is direct, detailed, neutral, and she makes it easy to engage and ask questions. She will expand her area of expertise with research if needed, and has an excellent network of attorneys with additional specialties.

Attorney Minkoff represented me in a very contentious divorce case after my two previous lawyers. She is very supportive and communicates throughout the process. Her efforts to finalize all aspects of my case proved successful. I recommend Linda Minkoff to anyone facing the difficult realities of divorce.

Linda Minkoff represented me in divorce proceedings that were finalized in April of 2017. Negotiations were protracted and difficult, but Linda made an unpleasant chapter as bearable as possible. Throughout the several years that I worked with her, Linda was always knowledgeable, professional, and unflappable in the face of odd machinations from the other side. She was also understanding and kind, which mattered just as much to me. I had confidence in Linda’s abilities from beginning to end. She was savvy and experienced and explained to me smoothly and concisely what I needed to know about divorce and the law, a world and a language unfamiliar to me. After the final court appearance, and then after the subsequent divorce finalization, Linda followed up with me promptly and helpfully. She has continued to be responsive to small questions and issues that have cropped up since then. I would not hesitate to recommend Linda Minkoff to someone who needed high-quality representation in a divorce matter. Although the circumstances that bring clients to her door are usually sad, Linda helps people expedite the next steps and structure a new reality and circumstances.

I have worked with two dozen attorneys, from family and estate to commercial and litigation. Linda is the best I've ever seen. She is responsive, honest, extremely competent, experienced, and did I mention responsive and honest? I am happy to recommend her as highly as it gets.
