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.

You wont be sorry for choosing Lisa
Lisa was extremely helpful from the minute I started speaking with her on the telephone. My husband had recently passed away and she helped me process my will. She was sincere and did not try to take advantage of a situation which I often felt from the few other lawyers I contacted. I high...
