Thankful for Lisa
By the time I had my first interaction with Lisa I had already expended a fair amount of effort setting up consultations and having introductory discussions with several lawyers. Lisa distinguish herself immediately with her accessibility, willingness to dive in, direct communication approach, and focus on asking the most critical questions. I was clear, serious, and determined to move forward and Lisa was instantly ready to do the same. I remember that day when we began our client-attorney relationship and the relief that I felt with Lisa on my case.
Lisa was always sober in her assessments, managed my expectations, and explained the complex considerations and risks. She demonstrated a flexibility and readiness to pivot swifty through all the dynamics of the divorce process. Lisa's style was no nonsense, authoritative, decisive, and fast paced. Lisa's responsiveness was amazing. I was also impressed by Lisa how conscientious was about the financial implications activity would have on my legal bill.
On this day when my divorce is officially finalized I am very thankful for the legal services I received from Lisa Ruggieri.

Professional, diligent and thorough
I employed the services of the Law Offices of Lisa A. Ruggieri, P.C. for divorce representation. I highly recommend her office and found Lisa and her office to be extremely diligent, helpful and proactive. I received email updates of all developments and each important notification was followed up by a phone call to make sure I received the information and understood it. I also worked closely with her paralegal Anthony and he made it very easy to upload documentation electronically and to provide electronic signatures when permitted. We conducted the entire process during the pandemic but Lisa was always on top of things, much more than opposing counsel. She was firm and clear in her positions defending my interests and I feel that our judge deemed her arguments were stronger and more convincing than the opposition. Lisa was also insistent that we complete the process quickly in order to save not just time and aggravation but also legal expenses on my end. I greatly appreciated the level of professionalism and dedication to my case and would recommend her legal services to anyone.

Strong Advocate through the Pandemic!
Even during the pandemic, Attorney Ruggieri successfully negotiated a Stipulation for Judgment on all post-divorce issues without requiring a single Court appearance or hearing. My case was resolved amicably and I couldn't be happier with the final result. I strongly recommend Attorney Ruggieri to anyone currently going through or considering a divorce or separation. Thanks Lisa!

Exceptional representation through the pandemic
I recently retained Attorney Ruggieri after attempting Mediation during the pandemic. Despite the pandemic, however, Attorney Ruggieri was successful in finalizing my divorce in an uncontested manner and with one quick virtual Court hearing, my divorce was final. I can now enjoy a happy and stress free life. I highly recommend Attorney Ruggieri to anyone going through a divorce throughout the pandemic.

Outstanding work and advice
After over 30 years of marriage, I found myself in need of a divorce attorney. Lisa skillfully negotiated my case in spite of the ongoing pandemic. I am thankful that I am able to retire without the stress of alimony payments as Lisa successfully negotiated a past, present and future waiver of alimony. Lisa provided timely advice and guidance to me throughout the process, and achieved a swift and amicable resolution to my case. I am very pleased with her representation and highly recommend the Law Offices of Lisa A. Ruggieri, P.C. for anyone going through a divorce.

Best ever!
I consulted with several attorneys and read voluminous reviews prior to retaining Attorney Ruggieri. I knew the moment I met her, I wanted her to represent me in my my divorce. Now that I have been working with her, the reviews are all true. She is a straight shooter and keeps you focused on the issues. Divorce - particularly after 20+ years is very emotional. Attorney Ruggieri has taught me that you cannot let your emotions control the divorce process. Staying rational is critical to making good decisions. I feel comfortable and confident with Attorney Ruggieri. She is extremely knowledgeable and a very skilled negotiator. I highly recommend Law Offices of Lisa A Ruggieri for anyone seeking a divorce.

Kept the process simple
Although my divorce was not contentious, I greatly benefited from Lisa's experience, especially her understanding of what the Court would expect. By identifying deficiencies in documents prepared by my former spouse's attorney, we were able to avoid objections that a cautious judge might have raised, avoiding additional work on everyone's part.

'One of a kind'
Lisa Ruggieri is an outstanding divorce attorney. She handled my complex and extremely challenging case with endless energy and vigor. She is the type of no nonsense attorney that makes things happen while also being very empathetic and caring. As an highly seasoned attorney, I found her to be very responsive, honest and extremely straightforward. She laid out the facts, the possible scenarios and kept me informed of all of the developments of my case. Her experience and knowledge of the law, specifically with contested cases of asset division and child custody, was invaluable. My outcome was exactly what I wanted and it was because of her enthusiasm and passion of the law.

Best lawyer
Attorney Ruggieri came highly recommended by a colleague. We are both physicians and work at the same hospital together. He said, “She’s the best”. “She handled my divorce several years ago.” “You need to hire her” I already had an attorney and was going through a terrible divorce that had been pending for more than 2 years. I was not happy with my present attorney. I could also see that the Judge was frustrated with my present attorney too.
I contacted Attorney Ruggieri and after meeting with her, I hired her immediately. Within two (2) weeks, she was able to swiftly negotiate a global agreement and present it to the Court the very next day. Thanks to Lisa, she saved me from the cost and uncertainty of a multi-day trial and multiple court appearances. Even the Judge thanked her and treated her with respect in the Court room-unlike my former attorney. I highly recommend Attorney Lisa Ruggieri. I will be recommending her to all of my friends and colleagues. She cuts to the chase and gets the job done. I wish I had hired her sooner.

Would Recommend.
Working with Lisa and her staff has made my divorce experience a lot more manageable. They are hard working and devoted to taking care of their clients. Lisa got me through multiple court issues including family probate. Her expertise in family law has proven through her successes throughout my case. Lisa has a remarkable staff, that is there when you need them. If you have any questions, Lisa and staff are quick to respond and will resolve any issue. Lisa dealt well with the multiple assets, issues related to the children and all while keeping the divorce running smoothly. I would recommend her to my dearest friends.

None Better, A Stand Out
After the shock and awe of being served divorce, it was a blessing to find Lisa Ruggieri. Don’t waste your time searching for anyone else. My case was handled expertly, efficiently, and with all the right expertise. Fair and honest, Lisa knows every facet of the law, and she is a keen negotiator, which btw, is exactly where you need to focus. Avoid court. Alimony, child support, complex tax and asset split calculations, inheritance, business income: Attorney Ruggieri has all the resources at her disposal for informed, factual decisions you’ll need to make. She is relentless in seeking your best outcome. I deal with many attorney’s in my job, and through dozens of years, I can pick out the fake, ill informed vs. those that stand above the rest. Hire Lisa, follow her advice, keep her informed on everything, and you’ll come out the other end better off, financially sound. Forget about fees, it’s the least of your challenges. My prayers were answered when I hired Attorney Ruggieri.

Beyond blessed that I found Lisa and her team
I was literally stunned when my husband served me with divorce papers. By the grace of God I happen to find Lisa and I couldn’t be more appreciative. She is the “go to” lawyer if you want a fair and reasonable outcome. Saying she is aggressive is an understatement. Trust in her, and if you need to have more information on your case; paralegal Anthony is the one to contact. He is compassionate, understanding, and caring. This is a great team to have on your side. I highly recommend this wonderful blend of aggressiveness and compassion. Thank you Lisa and Anthony for making this difficult, emotionally charged situation, easier to navigate.
