Lisa A Knopf

She is such a bad lawyer and I wish I could at least write her off as just wanting to get $$$ but I actually have to conclude that it’s her mission to create more conflict and acrimony, even for the party she’s representing. I’ve heard two well respected family law attorneys disparage her. One refuse...d to work with her at all. Just my opinion, she has a personality disorder.

I hired this attorney in August of 2015 in the hopes of continuing visitation with my children that my Separation papers allows me. It is now two years later and no visitation with my two younger children. She has not returned a number of phone calls, emails or texts. She told me early on that I ...am the victim of Parental Alienation. But she has filed only one motion for modification in two years which went nowheres. And then explained that the other attorney wrote a better Motion for Dismissal that cost $2000 to stop me from seeing my children again. I have been advised that the Motion for Modification was not the proper motion in my situation but instead Motion for Contempt. She yells at me when I ask her to get me the visitation that she said she could get when I hired her. She is very friendly with the GAL, Janis Laliberte and both are members of the Milford Bar Association. She is also friendly with the other attorney, Bonnie Amendola and can be seen eating lunch with both at the Holiday Inn across the street from Bridgeport Court. She told me in January of this year that the GAL decides if I can visit with my children or not. In conclusion this attorney does not serve the wishes of the client. I noticed her with a green card for not keeping to the standard of care in the client-attorney relationship. She yelled at me when I visited her office to review the work product. I have found both over billing and double billing with her invoices and she does not bill in six minute intervals. She is prejudicial against me now, and I may have to file a Bar Grievance against her.

When a client can remember the exact time of day that the divorce actually happens, then that tells you something about how great your attorney is! Lisa is more than just a great Attorney. Lisa makes sure that she covers all the details to protect you and treats you like family. I can still run into ...Lisa in a supermarket or drug store and she will still ask me how my Son is doing by his first name and will know what year of school he is in. She has helped with not just the Divorce, but in post divorce matters relating to the decree as well. She is one of the most caring people I have ever met and would recommend her highly to anyone seeking a Divorce, at least go see her for a consultation before you make a decision on anyone else! I can guarantee you will remember the time of your divorce as well :)
