Grateful

I’m grateful to Lisa and her Associate, Katherine, for their professionalism, time, patience, effort, expertise, and calming style. I always felt heard and that my case mattered. This was the third law firm I hired and I would have saved time, energy, and money if I started with the best.

Posted by Susan | March 31, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Child Support

Excellent representation

We had a nasty child support modification with the other side lying, concealing income and being pointless and childish. Atty. Zuckerman remained calm and effective throughout all their games. She did not let them get away with their deceit, and she was always truthful with me about the realities of... the case to avoid getting my hopes unrealistically high. Koren and Lisa both were very responsive. Now the other side is back to try and modify the visitation schedule so I'm back to Atty Zuckerman to straighten this next issue.

Best Decison

The best decision I made during the most difficult time in my life was to have Lisa represent me. I trusted Lisa instantly because she asked great questions, listened attentively to the answers, was open, honest and approachable. She gave me realistic results, not what I wanted to hear. Without Li...sa’s knowledge and expertise I would have continued to fall victim to my ex-husband. She was a strong advocate for what was best for my daughter and me. When I felt put on the spot to make a decision, Lisa was right there to pull me aside and help me understand my options. I would not be where I am today without her.

Happy Atty Zuckerman was on my side

I would strongly recommend Lisa as she help me gain full custody of my son. She took a situation that was extremely stressful for me and make me feel that everything would all work out. She gave me realistic results, not what I wanted to hear. I am very grateful that Lisa was with me during this time....

Great Lawyer who gets everything done in no time!

called when I needed them and they were there on time. They were patient and walked me through the whole thing. They did what they needed to do for my case. They were very helpful. They would call me to make sure whether or not I had any questions. They were available when I needed them. T...hey gave me enough time to discuss my case and didn't rush me. When you go to them for help and you know they are there for you, and what you need is what you get. When I went to court, both of them supported me. They went through the steps of what I needed to do and I was very comfortable with them. The tension was all gone when they took my case. I would definitely recommend them to anybody because they were quick and efficient.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Lisa represented the father in the final stages of a highly contested custody and child support dispute. When she entered the case, it had been in court nearly five years. Soon after Lisa entered the case, we were able to help the parents enter into an agreement that the judge praised as being "thorough and carefully thought out." I truly believe that without Lisa, the case would still be ongoing. Her professionalism and advocacy for her client made all the difference the case needed, and I wholeheartedly endorse her."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
