In March of 2000, Guardianship for my daughter was granted. Atty. VanTine was my attorney. It became a very complicated legal process and it was one of the most stressful times in my life. It is now 20 years later and thinking I need some legal advice and help. So hoping her office is same address I decided to Google her name, and here l see the review page. After reading the reviews that were so negative, I have to add my experience. Linda is the most conscientious, reliable and dedicated attorney you will ever find. I hope anyone in need of an attorney will not be swayed by some of the derogatory comments. Linda will work with you, for you and will always go the extra mile to help you. Besides being highly regarded in the community, she is a truly a nice person.

I called upon Ms. Van Tine when my brother passed away as she had handled his will and guardianship for my disabled nephew. I found her to be knowledgeable, helpful, professional, and very prompt when returning phone calls and gathering knowledge for me. I live out of state so I do not have her as my personal attorney. However, I will retain her in all matters whenever possible.

In my opinion, Linda Van Tine is the best attorney in Erie County regarding guardianships. I work in this area of law out-of-state and personally understand how difficult and complicated guardianships can be. Linda is currently assisting with my mother's guardianship and I am so grateful for all that she's done for us. Reviews that comment on Linda's fees, unresponsiveness, etc. are not at all what we have experienced working with her. Linda, and her staff, are very competent and responsive, and those who are represented by Linda are very lucky to have an attorney with her skill and knowledge in their corner. Thank you Linda!

When no one else would help my family, this amazing lady went to bat for us! She knows her law, and forced people to do the jobs they were being paid to do. She literally saved my life!

Unfortunately, I never got to meet with Linda. After calling and speaking with the receptionist, she advised me to bring all my documents for Linda to review. This was to be followed up with an appointment. After 3 weeks of no response, I called & left a message. Expecting a callback...never happened. After an entire month I requested my paperwork back and I am going elsewhere. The receptionist responded that Linda was out of the office for 2 weeks. With all due respect, maybe some sort of communication could have been attempted, if you even knew your pending clients! (this has been a very emotional time to begin with for my elderly parents, losing their son and we were looking for guidance and support)

Linda Van Tine is unprofessional to the finest of its forms. She has been my trustee since 2015. Refuses to provide me with information that I need concerning my case. She also has sporadically cooperated with counselors, case managers, community advocates and liaisons to help me with services to meet my day to day needs. She failed to pull police reports I made concerning my safety while I resided in canton forcing me to move to safer conditions based on the kindness of others. Linda has been rude to myself ans thise who worked with me to better my life and situation. At times she has made. Disparaging color related statements. Suggesting that I sold my couch for weed. Do yourself a favor and do not hire this attorney. She lines her pockets with the ignorance of the poor, uninformed,and disadvantaged.

My father died several years ago and Ms. Van Tine handled the estate. Early this year, I discovered that she (and apparently her staff) failed to completely dispose of my father's assets, including an unclaimed, still-open bank account. It was a mess trying to figure out who on her staff did or didn't do what and it took forever for it to get it straightened out...meanwhile I had to take donations to pay for his burial and funeral as I was told this bank account was closed and void of funds! My father (and Rengel) hired her, not me, and I do not recommend her. Too many people on staff, apparently no one doing her job.

Linda vantine was extremely rude to my elderly mother. She handled my mother's estate, she was very unprofessional, did not return phone calls. She was also late for appointments. Unfortunately I can't say anything good about this attorney all I can say is go elsewhere.
