Excellent Attorney

Time and time again, Attorney Lisa Ruggieri has proven she is dedicated, dependable and gets outstanding results. Lisa represented me in a divorce and numerous post-divorce actions, including modifications and contempt actions for the past ten (10+) years. Most recently, after changing jobs, Lisa s...prang into action to obtain a Court Order to reduce my support obligation despite my ex-Wife’s fervent objections every step of the way. Lisa never backs down and she provides honest and realistic expectations for what to expect. I would highly recommend the Law Offices of Lisa Ruggieri!

Outstanding Attorney

When the stakes are high, I highly recommend the Law Offices of Lisa Ann Ruggieri. From the moment I hired Lisa Ruggieri, I felt at ease. My ex-husband stopped paying me child support. He even tried to hide his real income on his financial statement. Attorney Ruggieri was relentless. She never gav...e up. Even after a child support order was established by the Court, my ex-Husband refused to pay. Lisa stuck with me through two different complaints for contempt. My ex was found guilty both times and still refused to pay. Lisa persisted challenging every motion my ex filed. After just two months, Attorney Ruggieri finally put a stop to his games and had my ex sent to jail. Within an hour of my ex being placed in handcuffs, he miraculously purged himself and paid me the child support he owed. The reviews are all true! Lisa was relentless inside and out of court, she never backed down, never quit and ultimately got the best possible outcome in my case! I highly recommend Lisa and her team for anyone facing any family law matter.

I would highly recommend this firm!

Lisa Ruggieri and her staff did an excellent job on my recent divorce. I hoped to avoid a long, drawn-out litigation process. Upon meeting with Lisa, she jumped into action and immediately drafted the appropriate paperwork. Shortly after my initial consultation, we signed and presented a separation... agreement to the judge and finalized our divorce. Lisa was able to quickly and efficiently resolve my case without the hassle of multiple court appearances. Thank you Lisa and Caitlin for making this process as smooth and stress-free as possible. I would highly recommend this firm!

Excellent!!

Attorney Lisa Ruggieri currently represents me in a highly contentious divorce that also involves criminal and domestic violence issues. Lisa and her associate, Caitlin, have stood by my side and been a pillar of strength for me and my three children through this difficult process. Anyone who has b...een to Court with Lisa knows she is a zealous advocate and skilled negotiator. She delivers outstanding results and she does not overpromise. My safety and peace of mind is restored thanks to Lisa and her staff, and I know I can count on her to see me through the rest of my divorce. I would highly recommend the Law Offices of Lisa Ruggieri to anyone in need of a family law attorney.

Highly Recommend

I consulted with and hired Attorney Lisa Ruggieri for a child custody case in the Middlesex Probate and Family Court. I have a two year old daughter born out of wedlock. My ex-boyfriend is also expecting a second child with another woman. I knew I needed a skilled, experienced attorney to negotiate ...support and a parenting plan. Lisa and her associate, Caitlin, clearly explained my rights and guided me through the process step-by-step. Ultimately, we negotiated a full agreement and only had to make one court appearance. I would highly recommend the Law Offices of Lisa Ruggieri!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"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."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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"
