Born to working-class parents in Massachusetts, Linda Rose came to Nashville in the 1990s — by way of Hawaii, where she first began working in immigration law. When she relocated to Tennessee for her then-husband's career, she didn't think there'd be much for her to do. But her practice took off.

These days, Linda's as busy as she's ever been, and the political climate has her anxious for her clients. To stay centered, she finds solace in her longtime karate practice — she's a third-degree black belt — and playing jazz vibraphone in a band that includes one of the lawyers in her firm.
