Divorce

Lisa represented me in an extremely contentious divorce. My ex husband is a business owner, and he made the process very difficult because he did not want to fairly divide the assets from his business. In the end, Lisa helped me reach a fair agreement with a very unreasonable person. She was strai...ghtforward throughout the process, and she always responded to my concerns. She also helped focus me on the critical aspects of my case, rather than investing time in matters that would resolve naturally throughout the process. Lisa tried to bridge the reality of the law, the circumstances at hand, and my needs as a single mother. I know when the time comes for our agreement to be modified, she will be able to guide me both quickly and skillfully toward an agreement that will be advantageous to the needs of my family.

Highly Recommend, Lisa and team are great!

After 52 years of marriage, I never thought I would find myself in a position where I needed to hire a divorce attorney. I retained Lisa Ruggieri to get me through one of the most emotional and difficult chapters in my life. After a long, contentious battle with my husband, including a full day of tr...ial, Attorney Ruggieri negotiated a favorable agreement. While my husband hired and fired numerous attorneys, Lisa stayed by my side throughout the entire process, advising me step by step. She returned all my phone calls and emails, and she realizes just how emotional and stressful divorce can be. She kept me "sane" and focused, which was exactly what I needed. I highly recommend Lisa Ruggieri and her staff. I could not have asked for a better outcome in the most unfortunate of circumstances. You will not be disappointed if you hire her to represent you.

A solid and Very Experienced Lawyer

If you are looking for a top-notch lawyer, a strong advocate, confident in the courtroom and a skillful negotiator then look no further. I highly recommend working with Lisa Ruggerie. I had a difficult divorce that involved child custody matters and was not aware of the legalities involved. Lisa guid...ed me through the process, layed out my options, stood by me through out the process and was there when I reach out to her with a concern no matter what time of the day or night, weekday or weekend it was. I ultimately ended with a settlement that is favourable for me and my children. Lisa is upfront and direct, she looks after her client's best interest and works diligently to defend and protect them. Lisa's staff Catlin and Anthony are professional, attentive, supportive and always available over email and phone. I can't say enough about Lisa Ruggeiri's law office and will not hesitate to work with her again if I needed legal advice.

An attorney you want on your side.

Attorney Ruggieri was excellent to work with. She is direct, extremely knowledgeable and excessively competent. She and her assistants are very responsive and accessible and it is clear she is an expert in her field. She navigates the process with ease, and always made me feel well taken care of. ... I would absolutely recommend her without reserve.

Did not put up with BS, got to the point

Lisa started out strong and continues through post divorce issues and questions. At the first meeting, Anthony greeted me and made me feel comfortable at the office. He always knew what was going and how to get answers; he was calm and nice. When I met with Lisa, she walked me through my options. A...long the way, when I wanted to wait, she waited -- and then we continued forward with this divorce. Lisa stood up for me in 4-way meetings when I could not. She addressed passive aggressive comments, and she moved the case forward when my now-ex stalled. In the end, I got what I needed and let things go, that I chose to let go. It was always my choice on how to proceed, with legal knowledge always available and an advocate on my side.

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"
