—Lonnie R.

Linda listened and made everything happen that needed to. She always picked up her phone herself when I called. She took the time to understand my entire situation: financial, emotional, my child's needs and complex business holdings.

—Julie - via AVVO

Linda helped me through a very difficult time in my life with her direct, honest well informed advice. She is an excellent listener and knew how to immediately gain my confidence by demonstrating her understanding of my unique issues. She skillfully helped guide me to an excellent result. I have already referred friends to her and will continue to do so since the feedback I continue to get from them mirrors my own experience with Linda Ebberson.

—Andy - via AVVO

Not only was Linda the consummate professional in every aspect of our attorney/client relationship, she was also an empathetic listener and my empowering champion during my very difficult and complex divorce proceedings. You will not find a more poised and confident individual than Linda. She "dials in" to her clients from the first minute of the first meeting, and then she continues to go "above and beyond" to benefit her clients. She is a fabulous attorney with the integrity and energy to lead you down the road to a successful outcome. If there was a way to give her a "SIX" star rating, I most certainly would do so.

—Anonymous - via AVVO

I feel that Linda has a great work ethic and represented me very well and I would definitely recommend her to others.

—Brian - via AVVO

Linda is very tough and experienced but also professional.

—Anonymous - via Chambers High Net Worth

I have worked with Linda Ebberson and Lisa Sharpe at Lasher Holzapfel Sperry & Ebberson extensively. They are among the best family law attorneys in Washington.

—Steven K. - via Best Lawyers Comments

In my opinion, Linda Kelley Ebberson is probably the best family lawyer in the state of Washington.

—via Chambers High Net Worth

Linda's easily one of the top family law attorneys in Washington. She's not one to be trifled with! If you have the opportunity to secure her for your divorce, you will not be disappointed.
