I couldn't have picked a better attorney!

I am recently divorced. I am writing this review because my divorce attorney, Lisa Ruggieri, was outstanding! She guided me through the divorce process step by step. I interviewed a dozen attorneys before I actually decided to hire Lisa. Unlike other attorneys, Lisa was direct and set clear expectati...ons. Lisa truly cares about her clients and is attentive to their individual needs. Her experience and skills in negotiation both in meetings and in the court room were top-notch! I couldn't have picked a better attorney. I have recommended Lisa Ruggieri to my family, my friends and anyone seeking a divorce/ family law attorney.

Outstanding Divorce Attorney!

I was referred to Lisa from a friend who was recently divorced. I initially retained a lawyer from a big firm in Boston which was a huge mistake. I was spending thousands of dollars and was not receiving any results. After just two weeks with Lisa, my support order was modified and I was awarded shar...ed custody of my children. Lisa is focused, agressive and a skilled negotiator. She was attentive to my needs and available 24/7 to answer my questions and address any issues of concern. I wish I would have hired her from the start. She made a huge difference. My divorce is now over and I am forever grateful. I would highly recommend Lisa for anyone in need of a divorce attorney. She is outstanding!

A very satisfied client!!!

Lisa - was simply outstanding. Lisa was shoots straight, she does not oversell and is practical and credible. Lisa works harder than anyone I have ever met and she treated me like I was the most important person in the world. Lisa is available 24/7 for any questions or just to talk. My divorce involv...ed very complex and material assets and multiple young children. Lisa told me on day one "no one wins in a divorce". While she was right, in many respects, i do feel like I "won" - Lisa worked tirelessly and fairly to achieve a settlement that was consistent with what i was hoping to achieve from the outset - and she achieved this result in less than nine months from start to finish! While there may be law firms with bigger names and more expensive real estate - i could not imagine using another lawyer other than Lisa. I owe Lisa a tremendous amount and am fore ever grateful for how she helped me. Lisa kept me informed every step of the way, she sought my input, she talked me out of bad ideas, she coached me and she showed tremendous empathy. Lisa does not mislead or over sell - she is fact based and leverages her extensive experience for the benefit of her clients.

Outstanding!!!!

I interviewed many attorneys before deciding to retain Lisa to handle my divorce. I definitely made the right choice. She is agressive and extremely knowledgeable. She guided me step by step throughout the process and was always available even during the weekends and evenings. My wife hired a lawyer ...from a big law firm in Boston. She paid a fortune in legal fees and in the end received nothing more than what Lisa had initially offered to settle our divorce. Lisa is trustworthy and I would highly recommend her to anyone going through a divorce.

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"
