HUMAN TRAFFICKING IN OUR OWN BACKYARDS
Lynda Hinkle is the principal attorney at the Law Offices of Lynda Hinkle in Gloucester, Camden and Burlington Counties. Hinkle’s specialties include family law, elder law, and estate planning.
Hinkle earned her bachelor’s degree from Rowan University in Glassboro and her Juris Doctor from Rutgers-Camden Law. Hinkle serves on the alumni boards of both of her alma maters; and on the board of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Burlington, Camden and Gloucester Counties. Since opening her firm in 2010, Hinkle has dedicated many pro bono hours to the cause of ending human trafficking in New Jersey.
“I never realized the extent to which human trafficking even existed here in New Jersey. We’re seeing women and children being trafficked into prostitution at shockingly high levels in all corners of our state,” Hinkle said. “In addition to forced sexual servitude, victims of human trafficking are subject to violence, addiction, and disease. It’s simply too heartbreaking to ignore.”
