Great Attorney with High Values

Lisa is a great attorney and person with high values. I have worked with Lisa on and off for ten years through my divorce and custody issues. When I started the divorce process, I called a few attorneys. Most of the discussions started with their retainer amount. Lisa asked me about my situation ...and I felt like she cared about my case and always has. Divorce and custody situations can get nasty. Lisa always took the approach of getting the job done by understanding who we were going up against and finding a way to settle an issue in my favor without escalating it. I know Lisa had lots of clients with complicated situations, but when I called her or needed her advice, I felt like I was her only client.

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.
