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!

Excellent

All of the online reviews of Attorney Lisa Ruggieri are true! If you need top-notch legal advice to land you on your feet post-divorce, I would highly recommend the Law Offices of Lisa Ruggieri. Lisa is very knowledgeable and draws a strong line around defending and protecting her clients. Lisa is ...upfront, wants what is best for you, and knows what will and will not be accepted in Court. Lisa and her team stood by me through a difficult and emotional divorce, including a custody and parenting battle and a relocation. Lisa advised me and guided me through each step of the way. She helped me weigh my options in order to secure the best possible outcome. We ultimately reached a global agreement without the necessity or expense of a trial. If I am ever in need of legal advice in the future, Lisa Ruggieri will be my first call.

Superb!

I went through a divorce 10 years ago and lost pretty much everything. For my sister's divorce, I attended every consult and court hearing. After listening and watching Lisa and Caitlyn in action, I wish I retained Lisa Ruggier's law office for MY divorce! Lisa and Caitlyn always give their all for t...heir clients and they never back down from anyone. Lisa's ability to think quickly on her feet, coupled with her extensive legal knowledge and court processes, makes her invaluable! I cannot say enough of how impressed I am of Lisa and her team! By far, they are the best and second to NONE!

Highly Effective and Reliable

Attorney Lisa Ruggieri made a potentially lengthy and costly divorce litigation battle very simple and straightforward without the necessity of multiple court appearances. My case involved a traditional, long-term marriage (25+ years). Lisa skillfully negotiated a global divorce agreement, includ...ing a provision for a tiered “step down” on alimony as I near my retirement. While my friends were ordered to pay 35% of their income, Lisa negotiated alimony payments as low as 15% which will ultimately cease. Lisa advised me of my rights under the law and was a strong advocate for my interests without making the overall process unnecessarily adversarial. Not only is Lisa an expert in her field, she is a consummate professional and someone you can trust. I would highly recommend the Law Offices of Lisa Ruggieri!

Posted by anonymous | April 11, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Support

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 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"
