Linda also served as an Administrative Law Judge for the Tennessee Department of Education for approximately 12 years serving on cases in multiple areas of Tennessee. As an Administrative Law Judge she conducted due process hearings involving disabled children and their education. Because of her knowledge of the law involving school systems and disabled children, she currently represents children as well as teachers.

Linda was a registered nurse before becoming an attorney and with her knowledge of the medical field she has a real passion for those individuals who have been permanently harmed by doctors and hospitals due to negligence.

Linda has been trained and practiced as a registered nurse and that experience assists her in evaluating cases with medical components, such as medical negligence or car accidents and other personal injury cases. Additionally Linda’s education as a certified teacher assists her in evaluating school-associated issues.

Linda believes in the cases she takes and therefore will fight for every client. She will fight for every individual with permanent injuries due to negligence on the part of a doctor or hospital. She will fight for the father who wants to see his children. She will fight for the single mother seeking child support. She will fight for the husband and wife who were injured in an automobile accident and the hardworking employee who was wrongfully terminated from his job and for those who were sexually harassed or were victims of discrimination. She will fight for the disabled child to be able to have the best education possible.
