We found Linette Nardi online, read her reviews and we were impressed with what we had read. After making our first appointment I understood the great remarks. She is patient in explaining the laws and answering your questions. Everything throughout our experience with Linette was fantastic.
Mirriam said:
Loved working with Linette!! She is very experienced and taught us quite a bit. We didn't know much about Estate planning and she walked us through it all. Super smooth and fast process. I am really happy we were referred to her and would definitely refer her to all of my friends and family.

Angelita "Angie" Vallejo Felix
PARALEGAL
Before joining Northern Legacy Law, Angie spent 30 years as a Senior Probation Officer in Solano County, walking alongside adults and youth as they worked toward better futures for themselves. It was relational, meaningful work — and it shaped everything about how she shows up for clients today.
When she decided it was time for a new chapter, Angie didn't slow down. She completed graduate-level paralegal studies at UC Davis, bringing that same dedication to learning into an entirely new arena. The result is a rare combination: deep human experience and sharp legal foundation.
Outside the office, Angie is a proud mother of four exceptional adult children, a devoted wife, a grandmother to one gorgeous granddaughter. She somehow still finds time for yoga, tennis, and what she calls her favorite hobby of all: grandma time.
Oh, and one more thing — her daughter is her boss. She wouldn't have it any other way.
