Highly recommend Lisa Ruggieri

I highly recommend Lisa Ruggieri for your divorce representation. When my divorce was less than amicable, Lisa’s professionalism and direct style led the way to protect the best interest of myself and my children. Her extensive experience and knowledge of the law paired wonderfully with her passion... and attention to detail. I would have been lost without her as my emotions were on constant guard. She worked quickly and thoughtfully and I never felt alone. Anyone filing for divorce will want Lisa Ruggieri on their side.

The Best!

Lisa Ruggieri is an incredibly dedicated attorney who helped me through one of the most trying and difficult times of my life. She supported me in and out of court and was quick to respond to all inquiries and helped to get the best settlement. Her knowledge of the legal system and professionalism i...s excellent. She even took time out from her busy schedule to be by my side during a domestic violence case against my ex. She went above and beyond to help in every way possible. Even after my divorce was finalized, she has continued to provide support and assistance whenever I have needed it. If I could, I would give her 10 stars! She is the best!

Kept the process simple

Although my divorce was not contentious, I greatly benefited from Lisa's experience, especially her understanding of what the Court would expect. By identifying deficiencies in documents prepared by my former spouse's attorney, we were able to avoid objections that a cautious judge might have raised..., avoiding additional work on everyone's part.

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.

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.

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"
