None Better, A Stand Out

After the shock and awe of being served divorce, it was a blessing to find Lisa Ruggieri. Don’t waste your time searching for anyone else. My case was handled expertly, efficiently, and with all the right expertise. Fair and honest, Lisa knows every facet of the law, and she is a keen negotiator, ...which btw, is exactly where you need to focus. Avoid court. Alimony, child support, complex tax and asset split calculations, inheritance, business income: Attorney Ruggieri has all the resources at her disposal for informed, factual decisions you’ll need to make. She is relentless in seeking your best outcome. I deal with many attorney’s in my job, and through dozens of years, I can pick out the fake, ill informed vs. those that stand above the rest. Hire Lisa, follow her advice, keep her informed on everything, and you’ll come out the other end better off, financially sound. Forget about fees, it’s the least of your challenges. My prayers were answered when I hired Attorney Ruggieri.

Outstanding Attorney!

I recently consulted with and hired Attorney Lisa Ruggieri to represent me in a child custody case when my ex filed a complaint seeking parenting time even though he is an "absentee" father who has not paid any support since birth of our child. Lisa is a very skilled advocate and she shines in and o...ut of the courtroom. Thanks to Lisa, I was awarded sole legal and physical custody of our child and he was ordered to pay me child support. I am thrilled with the results of the last court appearance and I would highly recommend this law firm!

Great Experience

I have a long-standing relationship with the Law Offices of Lisa Ruggieri. Attorney Lisa Ruggieri initially represented me during my divorce in 2007. Recently, I hired Lisa to represent me in a post-divorce contempt and modification proceeding. Lisa skillfully negotiated a global agreement wherein I ...was awarded alimony and paid back child support arrears. Best of all, the case settled in one court appearance without incurring unnecessary fees or taking multiple days off of work. I am very satisfied with the outcome of my case. I would highly recommend the Law Office 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.

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"
