Absolutely top notch & highly recommended

I called this firm today to try & resolve a few questions about a will left by a relative & she, quite nicely, took the time to answer all of my questions, resolve a few doubts & tell me what I could possibly do next, all of which was both appreciated & useful. Did I actually hire her? No, because do...ing so probably wouldn't change my current situation very much & that's not her fault. But, if necessary, would I hire her based upon today's phone call, how she treated me, her attitude, her legal knowledge & how she responded to & kindly answered my questions? Absolutely. Hands down, without a doubt & no questions whatsoever. I will probably never need a lawyer who's allowed to practice in Maine ever again but if I ever do the very first firm I'll contact will be this one. Absolutely outstanding, super helpful, very friendly, very pleasant & kindly took the time & trouble to answer all of my questions & that to my satisfaction. On a scale of 1 to 10 she gets an 11. ;-)

Smart, no nonsense, compassionate approach

I retained Lisa for my parental rights and responsibilities case. She was honest, knowledgable and client-focused! She was always well prepared and relentless in the court room. Her straightforward approach helped me to gain a better understanding of what may happen and to feel prepared. I'm very hap...py to say that I had a great outcome to my case and would highly recommend Lisa. She always first looked at what was best for the child and gave me great advice which proved pivotal in presenting a compelling case. Thanks Lisa!

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.

Posted by Carl | March 17, 2014 | Divorce & Separation

Very satisfied customer, strong recommendation to others.

Lisa Friedlander has worked for our family on four separate occasions over the last nine years, her professionalism, knowledge and dedication has exceeded our expectations each and every time. We hired Lisa for divorce, child support and child custody matters. Lisa knows her business, always has a d...etailed plan and is very clever in her timing and delivery of information. I will use Lisa if needed in the future and would highly recommend her services.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
