If you are facing a difficult divorce, custody or support case, you need an experienced and highly qualified family law attorney. For more than 30 years, Linda MacElree (Lynn) of Linda MacElree Esquire, LLC has been successfully practicing family law in Chester County. She has helped hundreds of clients reduce their stress and anxiety during this difficult and emotional time by bringing clarity and closure to their cases. Using her extensive legal experience and negotiating skills, Lynn strives to guide her clients to a satisfactory settlement.
Linda L. MacElree believes that it is important to have an attorney who concentrates in the area of family law and who practices in the county where the attorney’s office is located. Clients need to understand and consider when he/she chooses an attorney, that the client will pay, among other things, not only for phone calls, emails, correspondence, meetings, preparation of documents, preparation for hearing and the time spent in court, but also for the attorney’s travel time to and from the attorney’s office to meetings with opposing counsel and for travel time to and from any court appearances in the county where the action is filed.
If the attorney’s office is located in Philadelphia and the action is filed in Chester County, each time there is a court appearance or meeting with the spouse’s attorney, the client will pay at the attorney’s hourly rate from the time the attorney leaves his/her Philadelphia office until the attorney returns to the Philadelphia office. Hiring a Philadelphia attorney for a Chester County case may add an average of three extra hours or more of the Philadelphia attorney’s billing rate for each meeting or court appearance held in Chester County.
