Lisa is a leader in the collaborative law community and a highly respected member of the mediation community. I worked as opposing council on two cases with Lisa. She is deeply insightful about the challenges her clients face as they go through a divorce. She is an experienced and highly effective advocate and a creative problem solver. She works hard at helping clients generate positive solutions to difficult problems. Lisa's clients appreciate her thoughtful and caring professional approach.

Lisa and I have done volunteer co-mediation together at CDSC, during which I have had a chance to observe and learn from her impressive skills as a divorce mediator. Her calm, neutral demeanor and ease with divorce matters allow her to help clients navigate difficult subjects with minimal friction. I endorse her wholeheartedly.

Lisa is an extremely smart and very knowledgable and experienced family law attorney. I have worked with her on cases and as a colleague in the MA Collaborative Law Council. She is very effective in addressing the conflict and challenges that arise in divorce. She cares about her clients and their futures. If I were getting divorced, I'd want her as my lawyer!

Lisa and I have worked on opposite sides of two recent divorce matters (one of which was a Collaborative Divorce). Lisa is a pleasure to work with. She advocates effectively for her clients while still recognizing the importance in family cases of good communication and appropriate settlement considerations. I endorse this lawyer for representation in family law matters and Collaborative Divorce.

I have known Lisa Smith for over twenty four years. She is a wonderful attorney, dedicated, knowledgeable and highly effective. Her extensive experience and knowledge allow her to approach each case with a thoroughness and sophistication that is a real asset for her clients. Whether it is a collaborative case, or litigation, or mediation, she is able to make her clients feel they are in excellent hands. Her leadership with the Massachusetts Collaborative Law Council demonstrates her commitment to the field and her ability to bring people together to accomplish a great deal. I recommend her unequivocally for any family law matter.
