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.

I can't say enough great things about Lisa. She was so prompt with getting back to me. She represented me during my divorce and she thought of everything. She listened to me and represented me well. She balances professionalism while still being down to earth. I trusted her 100% during the proce...

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.
