Lisa A Knopf

Everything you have read from other reviews here indicating she's terrible is 100% true. I'm not sure how she did it but she actually made my case worse and more difficult for me. She does not side with the client she represents, what she does is she secretly goes against you and works with the other... attorney. She bills you for things that are totally not necessary like asking for an email updates but then never responding to them. We all have conversations on the phone, then she doesn't remember that we had them and bills you for them even things we had discussed that she said she was going to fix or take care of never happened. If you want the worst attorney on the planet you should hire her otherwise run far away. Trying to reach her on the phone is a nightmare. It can take weeks or months before she'll return a phone call.

She promised me so many things when I hired her in December 2014, Two years of court dates and motions, mostly filed by my ex's Attorney. She practically handed my girls over to their Dad. Its been two years and I still have not talked or had a visit with my children. I fully believe she helped them ...build a case against me. I did 98% of what was told to me and they took the 2% and destroyed me. I would never forget the horrible treatment I received from her.

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.
