Simply Amazing!

The only regret I had about my experience with Attorney Ruggieri and her staff was that they were my second choice. I was referred to another attorney to handle my divorce and after multiple court appearances with no definitive results on custody and support after 17 months I realized we were gettin...g nowhere. I spent over $50,000 and even lost custody of my son. I knew I had to find another lawyer to handle my divorce. I found Attorney Ruggieri by reading her client reviews. She is simply amazing! After my first meeting with her, I was extremely confident in her approach and retained her services. In less than 72 hours, she had made two court appearances for me and my case was back on track. And, in just over a month, my divorce was finalized. I even obtained custody of my son back. Working with Lisa and her associate, Caitlin, was a pleasure. They are aggressive and achieve outstanding results. But more importantly they were focused on making sure the best interests of my child came first. I would highly recommend Attorney Ruggieri and her staff to anyone seeking a divorce.

Guidance in a difficult situation

I recently hired Attorneys Lisa Ruggieri, and Caitlyn Ly to represent me over a lingering child support battle. They handled my case with direct, honest responses to my questions. Lisa advised me about having realistic expectations, and did everything she could for a satisfactory result. Cait...lin was there to represent me in court and was both competent and professional. I had every confidence in her ability to represent my case. Throughout the process, It was important for me to have an Attorney that was aggressive, thorough, and supportive. They were all of the above and more.

Quickly and efficiently handled

I worked with Lisa and her team to put a custody agreement in place. Lisa listened to my needs and requests, and very quickly had paperwork filed and delivered to the appropriate parties. At one point we were unable to receive the required information from the defendant, so Lisa quickly came up wit...h a plan B to make sure we could proceed in the simplest way possible. Not only did the agreement she drew up satisfy my custody needs for my son, but it was done without us even having to appear in court, and also done so quickly that not all of my retainer was used. I highly recommend Lisa and her team quickly and efficiently handle any family legal matter!!

Very pleased

I had filled out the 'contact us' form on Lisa's website and got a phone call within 24 hours to try to set up a time for a consult regarding custody, from Caitlin. We went over a few things verbally and set up a date to meet. At the meeting everything was thoroughly explained to me and Lisa made it ...so I wouldn't have to spend an outrageous amount of money for legal guidance during my case. (It means a lot that she would take into consideration that money is tight as is for a young single mother and accommodate). Within 20 minutes we had two stipulations written up ready for court in only 2 weeks after. Caitlin met me at the court house and did a great job offering the stipulation(s) to the other party and helping us come to an agreement when there was a conflict. I will happily be calling Lisa Ruggieri's office if and when I ever need legal guidance in the future regarding anything with the probate court. Thank you again!

Rock Solid!

I came to Lisa after trying to work through a mediator for 2 full years - I can't believe I waited so long! Lisa affirmed my suspicions that I was not getting a fair settlement and too many loose ends would be left hanging. Lisa was the rock solid strength I needed, and the voice I didn't have for my...self. Despite the complexities of our divorce situation (side business, debt, child with special needs, etc.) Lisa and her magnificent team, including her fantastic assistant, Caitlin Ly, worked tirelessly and effectively to ultimately achieve a rapid outcome with the fairness I deserved. I am so grateful for all of Lisa's help, and so grateful that I can feel confident now in moving forward! Many, many thanks!

"I endorse this lawyer. Atty Ruggieri practices divorce the way it should be practiced: because she is so knowledgeable of the nuances of the law and so familiar with the styles and priorities of the local courts, she can accomplish an efficient and effective outcome that is also responsive to her clients' personal and financial needs. She gives clients a clear roadmap of their case, follows the roadmap, and always returns their calls during the process. And when necessary, Lisa can take on a shark yet keep the blood off the table - an exceptional and rare skill for a divorce attorney."

"Lisa Ruggeri is extremely well versed in family law and its many nuances including separation agreements, alimony and child support and the practical tax and business implications of dissolution of a marriage. She is also a skilled and experienced trial lawyer and that experience focuses for her client’s best interest on the real issues, not side issues, in a case. She also is skilled at using mediation and collaborative law approaches to these kinds of cases to achieve these goals without trial. I have had a number of opportunities to see her clients express appreciation for her efforts and help. Bob Flynn"
