## Meet Linda Lo Cascio

My mission is simple: ensure every person is heard and treated with dignity, patience, and respect.
I was born and raised in Brooklyn, where my immigrant parents taught me the core values of sacrifice, faith, and community. These Brooklyn roots have guided my 27-year legal career, from the high stakes of Criminal and Family Court to the life-altering decisions made in Housing, Civil, Supreme, and Surrogate’s Court.

My mission is simple: ensure every person is heard and treated with dignity, patience, and respect.

I have seen firsthand how debt, housing instability, and mental illness can disrupt or devastate a family. In my current role as a Court Attorney-Referee, I serve in a quasi-judicial capacity, performing duties similar to a Judge by hearing cases and ensuring a fair hearing where each party has an opportunity to be heard, and a neutral decision is made.
