I’m grateful Lindasue was my attorney. When I ran into brick walls, she fought for my rights so that I could get on with my life during a difficult divorce. She was fair, compassionate, and available when I needed her. We were able to settle the divorce in mediation. I highly recommend her.
The first time I met with Lindasue she advised me not to get divorced because of the stress. How many attorneys are that honest? Once my husband filed, she had great advice all the way along. She always knew when I was being played but never pushed me toward more conflict which, in the end, might have gotten her more money. She did everything she could to keep her fees reasonable - I always felt she had my best interests in mind (not always true with divorce attorneys). She had my back. When there was something unethical happening from my ex's attorney, she saw it right away and jumped on it. She's just aggressive enough to not let someone walk over you, but not so aggressive to start unnecessary conflicts/litigation. I have huge respect for Lindasue and recommend her to anyone getting divorced. She really CARES about her work and her clients.
I called many attorneys in Boulder CO to help terminate my probation. They all wanted money up front, and they hardly listened to the details of my case. When I called Lindasue, she asked me to send her the documents that I had previously filed and was denied by the courts. Once Lindasue received the documents, it was literally within a week that I received an email with the subject "Granted!" I was surprised at how easy she made it and how quickly she got my probation terminated. So happy to end a terrible chapter in my life and so grateful for Lindasue. Oh, and she sent me an invoice. I've had some health problems and was short to pay her right away. She was so kind to allow me to pay her on my next pay date whereas the other attorneys were expecting a retainer up front to even start the process. Thank you, Lindasue!
VERY quick to respond & of the 4 attorneys we have spoken with so far we FINALLY found an attorney that had the experience & knowledge to represent us !!! The others all used scare tactics & just pushed for us to send them money ? Lindasue cared about or situation first & foremost ! We are going in to meet her & hire her today !
Linda Sue saw me through my legal case during a very stressful time in my life. She handled my case from start to finish and didn’t miss a beat when it came to legal maneuvering and timing. It was clear that she knew this area of law inside and out and provided very good guidance throughout. In the courtroom it was obvious that she was well respected and knew her way around procedure and protocol. She knew the individual judges and adjusted her presentation to address their particular likes or dislikes. It was clear that she had established herself as a respected officer of the court and did not need to indulge in unnecessary posturing. In bringing my case to resolution she pursued every possible angle without wasting precious time and money on unnecessarily antagonistic proceedings . She discussed every option for moving forward with me and had me make the final decision on crucial issues. She always called and informed me when there was any movement on the part of the DA or the Court and sent me copies of all information and documents she received . I never hesitated to call if I had a question and she returned my phone calls promptly. If she was in trial or couldn’t address my question immediately she made arrangements to get back to me in a timely manner. She did not waste my time or money pursuing things, that in her professional judgment, would be futile and she used the fees I paid her economically. She was also a good source of emotional support, recognizing when I was developing a “defeatist” attitude and provided strength and perspective when I ran out of my own. It was my observation that she stays on top of her game, devoting a lot of time to continuing legal education in her areas of expertise. I would recommend Lindasue highly to anyone who wants a tough, no-nonsense attorney who also has a lot of heart and compassion and puts her clients’ needs first.
Lindasue Smollen receives the highest recommendation in all areas from me. She has the backbone needed to resolve a five year post divorce decree case involving child support and real estate. She was my fourth attorney and within six months navigated the case to closure. Her long standing career in the Boulder legal network gave her the advantageous intuitive edge to work with judges and to select effective mediators. She showed the utmost sensitivity to my needs as a client . Not only was she very supportive, but also showed an appropriate level of professional empathy. Ms. Smollen split the case into two manageable parts; and we only proceeded with one part at a time. Once I accomplished the homework assignments, then I would call her and set up the next meeting. Thus, the "flow" of the case was client-centered and not so overwhelming. Lindasue Smollen is a highly organized attorney. She methodically gathered the five year history and realized that previous attorneys and mediators had not court-filed some documents. She filled in all the missing legal documents and filed them with the court. We prepared our best "air tight" case including clearly presented spread sheets and all supporting documents. Together, we dotted every single "I" and crossed every single "T." She filed all new motions in a timely manner. The motions were exceedingly thorough with cross reference links to related cases. She kept a strong forward momentum throughout the entire case. As with all successful attorneys, Lindasue has the savvy psychological component needed to determine the pacing, necessary strategies, and character of all involved. She furthermore has the heart to empathize and create long term solutions for her client which promote peace of mind.
I cannot imagine having gone through my divorce without her. She was the absolute perfect balance between being professional and serving as some emotional support when I was going through the most difficult time of my life. She gave me hard advice that I needed to hear at times, which has to be rare because I am sure most just tell people what they want to hear. She was very creative about how to be my best advocate - taking care to note details that I would have forgotten if I had been my own advocate. Plus I will add that she is a very warm person to spend time with- very authentic. She made some unbelievably difficult times manageable. Also, she is relentless in getting the best outcome for me. A friend of mine called her a bulldog - and I like that metaphor. But she is not unreasonably so. There were times that other lawyers made themselves look bad by being awful to judges and staff, thinking that they are fighting for their client, all the while making their client look bad. Lindasue never did that - she always knew when to hang back. And her knowledge of the law - and common procedures - is outstanding. I just cannot say enough good about her. I would recommend her strongly to anyone going through a divorce. And if it was a close friend, I would almost insist. I can't imagine a better criminal defense or divorce lawyer.
our jury was out only 15 minutes. She nailed it. She has an very strong intuitive sense and can be tough when needed or when to be subtle. I would strongly recommend her to anyone.
Lindasue has answered all my questions without hesitation and is as honest as can be. She is very helpful and her charge was very much in line. I would reccomond her highly!!!
Sadly, Ms. Smollen doesn't even know the difference between ordinary legislation and a general constitutional standard.
