The BEST there is

If you find yourself in Probate court post-divorce like I did, you want the person representing you to fight for you like Lisa did for me. At times we had to wait to be called and I had the opportunity to see other lawyers in action, none of them compared to Lisa. She was always extremely prepared,... well spoken, highly respected by her peers, persuasive and effective. Losing is not an option for her, and she really cares about her clients and wants to assist them to the best of her ability. I cannot say enough good things about her and I'm just glad I found her before my ex did!!!

Great Lawyer!

Lisa is an excellent lawyer and did a great job working on my recent divorce. She and her team are incredibly professional and made the process as smooth and stress-free as possible by helping breakdown the process and making sure I was fully protected. Lisa always responded promptly and addressed my... concerns. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone in need a great lawyer. I could not be happier with the results!

Lisa is a very knowledgeable, effective and efficient lawyer.

Lisa is a very knowledgeable, effective and efficient lawyer. I needed an assistance from a lawyer urgently, I called Lisa’s office and luckily she had a cancellation that day. I met with her and after our initial conversation I decided to work with her. I did not regret this decision afterwards. I ...went to a business trip next day and Lisa handled my case perfectly in my absence, submitted all required paperwork and she kept me well informed about all her steps through emails. She always replied promptly to phone calls and emails and she patiently answered all my questions and I had a lot of them. She handled my case very effectively and I was positively impressed by her work. I can highly recommend her. One piece of advice. Lisa is very efficient, she is very organized and she works very quickly. Be well prepared and organized too before meetings with her and know what you want.

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.

Fantastic Lawyer!

When contemplating divorce, I asked several friends for the best divorce attorney in the area. The Law Office of Lisa Ruggieri came highly recommended. To say I was completely satisfied with the representation Lisa and her legal team provided throughout my divorce is an understatement. I am extreme...ly impressed by Lisa’s professionalism and clear knowledge of all aspects of family law. During the entire process, Lisa and her team kept an aggressive pace to negotiate and finalize my divorce. Lisa was candid and blunt about what to expect and explained issues in plain terms so that I could understand the financial and legal implications. I would highly recommend the Law Offices of Lisa Ruggieri for anyone seeking legal representation in a divorce or family law matter.

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"
