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 back in private practice and feel I have been effective in helping people deal with a variety of legal issues with more flexibility.
I have represented numerous clients in Maine's District, Superior, and Probate Courts, both as an Attorney and as a Guardian ad Litem. I work with families to set up wills and trusts, special needs trusts, and to address their other estate planning needs.

Very quick response time.
Lisa was great about keeping in touch with me and answering my many questions about opening an estate. I had hired another lawyer and he never got back to me with my questions. Very glad I took a chance with Lisa.

She is great!!
I really enjoyed having Lisa as my attorney. I had many questions and she always answered them promptly. She was very understanding with me and my lack of understanding the legal wording of things. I really appreciated her patience and her guidance, while I was able to work with her.
