Professional, diligent and thorough

I employed the services of the Law Offices of Lisa A. Ruggieri, P.C. for divorce representation. I highly recommend her office and found Lisa and her office to be extremely diligent, helpful and proactive. I received email updates of all developments and each important notification was followed up by... a phone call to make sure I received the information and understood it. I also worked closely with her paralegal Anthony and he made it very easy to upload documentation electronically and to provide electronic signatures when permitted. We conducted the entire process during the pandemic but Lisa was always on top of things, much more than opposing counsel. She was firm and clear in her positions defending my interests and I feel that our judge deemed her arguments were stronger and more convincing than the opposition. Lisa was also insistent that we complete the process quickly in order to save not just time and aggravation but also legal expenses on my end. I greatly appreciated the level of professionalism and dedication to my case and would recommend her legal services to anyone.

Fantastic Attorney

Attorney Ruggieri and her staff took great care with a sensitive legal issue that took over two years to resolve. She was direct in her approach and protected my interests well.

Would Recommend.

Working with Lisa and her staff has made my divorce experience a lot more manageable. They are hard working and devoted to taking care of their clients. Lisa got me through multiple court issues including family probate. Her expertise in family law has proven through her successes throughout my case.... Lisa has a remarkable staff, that is there when you need them. If you have any questions, Lisa and staff are quick to respond and will resolve any issue. Lisa dealt well with the multiple assets, issues related to the children and all while keeping the divorce running smoothly. I would recommend her to my dearest friends.

Beyond blessed that I found Lisa and her team

I was literally stunned when my husband served me with divorce papers. By the grace of God I happen to find Lisa and I couldn’t be more appreciative. She is the “go to” lawyer if you want a fair and reasonable outcome. Saying she is aggressive is an understatement. Trust in her, and if you need to ha...ve more information on your case; paralegal Anthony is the one to contact. He is compassionate, understanding, and caring. This is a great team to have on your side. I highly recommend this wonderful blend of aggressiveness and compassion. Thank you Lisa and Anthony for making this difficult, emotionally charged situation, easier to navigate.

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"
