Lisa is the best

Lisa is absolutely amazing. Not only is she an expert in her field and a total professional, but she really cares deeply about her clients. Upon meeting Lisa I could tell that she was going to do her absolute best for me and she did. She was always within reach via text or call and she helped me s...ettle my case quickly and in a way that was very much in my favor. I would highly, highly recommend her to anyone who is in need of a DV attorney. She is truly awesome.

Better Call Lisa

Better Call Lisa Add me to the list of people who think that five stars aren’t enough for this warm, knowledgeable, insanely smart, crazy savvy and all-around amazing attorney. Lisa guided me through a sticky situation involving a family member who tried to use the law as a weapon against me in... order to further her other aims. The situation had gone on for years and I resisted dealing with it for as long as I possibly could which had just made it worse. I reached out to Lisa and what I did not know at the time was that I had found a guardian angel wrapped up in pitbull packaging. There wasn’t anything I wasn’t prepared for. Lisa held my hand throughout the entire ordeal earning the respect and gratitude of my immediate family and running rings around the opposing attorney. She had him pinned against the wall from the start. Lisa is dazzling: a truly impressive attorney and a first-rate human being. If you are looking for the best, congratulations, you just found her.

She is the one you want to represent you, period.

About 2 months ago, I was lost in a sea of lawyers and tons of reviews on the Internet, following my instinct to pick an attorney to represent me. First I contacted Mr. Sutnick, who was very kind and pleasant, and referred me to Lisa, so I contacted her and she promptly returned my call. I had ...the pleasure to talk to Lisa, who specializes in cases like mine and graciously listened to my story, but for a matter of location, it would not be feasible for her to take my case. Not only Lisa listened to me, but she also gave me very important advice on how to approach the next attorney(s) to get the best information in an efficient manner; among others. Lisa is simply a sweetheart. She is unselfish, concerned, kind, gracious, very honest and with all the experience that makes her an extraordinary professional. After a few more calls, I finally found my attorney, and after filing cross complaints and a few court dates, my case was dismissed. Lisa is bar none the sweetest attorney and most amazing professional you will come across. Do not hesitate to call her, I highly recommend. Lisa, thank you so much, you are lovely and I wish you all the success in this world !! All the Best, Mari

Hardest working lawyer

Lisa is an excellent attorney, she deserves more than 5 stars. She is extremely knowledgable and worked very hard on our case. She was always available to answer questions, made our case her top priority. She is not only one of the best attorneys, she is someone with a beautiful personality. She is s...o kind-hearted, caring, compassionate, but she is also tough and will fight for you case like a lion. We love you Lisa! Thank you for your hard work!

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."
