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.

Wonderful attorney! Wonderful human being!

I cannot speak highly enough about Lisa, I found myself in a very bad situation where I was set up by my wife after serving the divorce papers and was in serious trouble. The first attorney I went to gave me terrible advice that would’ve ended up very bad for me Luckily my divorce attorney referred m...e to Lisa. She immediately set up a game plan corrected me on everything. I thought I knew down to earth caring and compassionate. She met with me on a weekend and provided me access to her at any time via text, her guidance was superb and professional through my life with business and property dealings. I have used many different attorneys and I can’t say I didn’t have a problem with anyone of them. I am ecstatic. I was referred to Lisa. Truly amazing human truly amazing attorney thank you Lisa.

Truly an outstanding lawyer who cares

From the beginning Lisa explained step by step what would happen and she was patient and helped me fight through it when I was ready to give up. She really is one of the best lawyers out there who cares for her clients, God-sent.

Hardest working lawyer

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!

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

"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."
