Linda A. Jazo, CLS-F

Hablamos español

Linda A. Jazo is a partner at Tot Law, APC and a Family Law Specialist (CLS‑F) certified by the State Bar of California.

For over twenty years, Linda has represented San Diego families in high‑stakes matters at the intersection of family law and Child & Family Well‑Being (formerly CPS) investigations. Linda is bilingual and known for her strategy, preparation, and advocacy to keep children’s safety and stability at the center of every decision.

Linda is candid about case strength and options, and educates her clients about the law and likely outcomes. When leverage is limited, she focuses on limiting risk and shaping the best attainable result.

Linda launched her own practice in 2004, focusing on family law matters that often affected child safety and permanency. She holds a J.D. from UC Law, San Francisco, an Ed.M. in Human Development and Psychology from Harvard and a dual degree in psychology and sociology from San Diego State University. This combination grounds Linda’s work in a psychology‑informed, outcomes‑driven approach.

In 2007, she partnered with Elizabeth Pulido Swiller to form Jazo & Swiller, a law practice recognized for child‑focused representation in contested child custody, support, and protective‑order matters. Their practice later combined with Tot Law, APC, to offer families unified representation across CFWB investigations, guardianships, family law, and adoptions.

In her free time, Linda enjoys reading, traveling with her husband and daughter, and walking her fur babies, Andie and Snowie. Depending on the season, you can find Linda spending evenings and weekends at her daughter’s soccer or softball games or Taekwondo tournaments.
