Excellent Legal Services

Lisa was able to have my charge dismissed and exponged from my record. She is attentive to the details of the case and very personable. I would highly recommend Lisa if you are in need of Excellent legal services.

Excellent attorney. Always available.

Lisa gave me a free consultation and took her time during the consult and explained what I should expect, should I hire her. I've had previous lawyers who were not great in communicating with me when I had a question or taking the time to see me (save for any court appearances). Lisa explained how sh...e worked many years in the prosecutor's office, which added value to her knowing the people and how things are done on the other side. Once I felt confident that Lisa would represent me well, I hired her and did not regret it for an instance. Throughout the process, Lisa always told me what she needed from me and let me know what to expect next. When she was uncertain, she did her research and got back to me quickly about the next steps in my case. I was elated with the result and have hired her for pending issues not related to this case. You really can't go wrong with Lisa if you want someone who will work hard for you and stay in contact to keep you sane and grounded while you anxiously await the outcome on your case. Her years of experience proved invaluable to my case as I'm sure you will see, should you need an experienced attorney.

Hardest working lawyer

I was going through the darkest time of my 50 years of life when I reached out to Lisa Squitieri. After calling over 50 lawyers I finally found Lisa, I was scared, confused and desperate. Lisa was very gentle and compassionate, she gave me real answers to questions that no one else would answer. she... made me and my family feel at ease and worked so hard and going the extra mile is an understatement. Lisa called and gave her time anytime of the day, she spoke to me at night and weekends when she was with her family. Lisa is a relentless lawyer she will make sure you will be successful. my case was so complicated and everyone told me I had no chance of winning but Lisa has so much experience and confidence you start to feel her confidence and before I knew case was won and everything was over. I will be forever gratefull to Lisa Squitieri for all the hard work she put in for me and my family. it's too scary to think what would have happened if I never found Lisa. She is a great lawyer and even greater person. Thank You Lisa Squitieri

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Lisa Squitieri as an attorney for more than 25 years. During that time, she has gone from Judge's Law Clerk, to Chief Assistant Prosecutor, to Criminal Defense Attorney. In the courtroom, I have seen her successfully cross-examine witnesses and give inspiring closing arguments. Outside of the courtroom, I have co-counseled with her and I can say that she is smart, diligent, compassionate and I give her my highest recommendation."
