Highly Recommend this Firm

Lisa and her team were phenomenal. They helped me navigate my case, handled my case with such good care, and supported me at each step of the process. I am so grateful for the work they did on my behalf. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone who needs assistance with family law matters.

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.

I had in my opinion very complicated case and was desperate to find great divorce attorney. I was fighting for my "life" and my future. I got extremely lucky to find Lisa Zuckerman. She provided great emotional and professional support. My ex spouse attorney was good and Lisa was facing some challeng...es. But her expertise, professionalism, divorce law knowledge and experience took over the situation and resulted in desired outcome. Her reputation is amazing. She guided me through divorce almost 2 years, making a progress every step on the way. And I knew that I was in good hands. She is what divorce lawyer needs to be. Thank you, Lisa. You are my guardian Angel:)

Posted by Binoy Nair | October 03, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Uncontested Divorce

Got divorce but ...

Based on the reviews others seems to have better luck ... but I cannot leave a 5 star because of over all experience. I got the divorce so without major incident so not bad either but after paying $5000 for a simple uncontested divorce, you would think someone from her office would respond - if one h...as some final questions after divorce. I had a simple uncontested divorce, for some reason Lisa was also not able to make it for one and only hearing :( ... I felt unprepared and let down but was able to get the divorce - Koren Lisa's assistant was nice to walk me though the process. I got divorce so all good I guess :)

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.

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."

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.
