About Lisa
Biography
I earned my J.D. Degree from Maine Law School in 1992. Since then, I have worked in private practice, except for the five years I was a judicial officer in the Family Division of the Maine District Court where I presided over family law cases. I am now working part time as a solo practicioner helping clients set up wills and trusts, powers of attorney, and to address their other estate planning needs.

Great work at reasonable rates
Great representation at reasonable rates. Attorney Friedlander is smart and efficient. She handled multiple legal matters for me; all with good results

very smart, aggressive yet kind
Lisa represented me in my divorce. I could not have asked for a better attorney. I feel that I got the best possible settlement because she thought of things I didn't even think of and my ex had a bulldog for a lawyer and Lisa even out thought him. She is the BEST! thank you lisa.
