About Linda Kay
Linda Kay Yerger began her professional life at the bedside. She earned a Diploma of Nursing from the Albert Einstein School of Nursing in 1977 and a B.S. in Nursing from the University of the State of New York in 1985. That clinical background preceded a move into law, and she completed her J.D. at Widener University Delaware School of Law in 1988.
Her legal career spans admission in multiple jurisdictions. Yerger is licensed to practice in New Jersey and Florida and is admitted to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. Those credentials have allowed her to represent clients in both state and federal forums.
Yerger practices at Yerger | Tyler PA. Over time she has drawn on her earlier training as a nurse to inform how she approaches legal work. Her understanding of medical settings and healthcare records often shapes case preparation and client consultations. She brings that practical knowledge into legal assessments, document review and in conversations with medical experts.
She holds membership in the Florida State Bar and is active locally through the Collier County Women’s Bar Association and the Collier County Bar Association. Those memberships reflect an ongoing engagement with the professional bar community where she works. She has participated in association events and activities that connect lawyers across practice areas in Collier County.
Colleagues describe Yerger as methodical and thorough when preparing a matter for court or settlement. She favors clear explanations with clients and a steady pace in litigation. Her dual background in nursing and law gives her a particular set of tools for cases that require attention to clinical details, timelines and medical documentation.
Clients who seek her out often do so where medical facts are central to the dispute or where state and federal filings are necessary. She balances legal strategy with practical planning, recognizing the different procedural landscapes of state courts and the federal district where she is admitted. She currently practices at Yerger | Tyler PA, representing clients in matters arising in Florida and New Jersey and in the Middle District of Florida.
