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.

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.

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.

I would highly recommend, for such an outstanding job Lisa done for me, She's truly a fighter!

The most Positive experience I had during my trial was when Lisa's performance smashed my expectations, as she owned the courtroom. She knew how to present the case properly, how to provide the right amount of info and evidence to be able to achieve victory in the most effective way. During trial... On cross examination she literally destroyed the false accuser and impeached her on many lies so that the accuser got lost and started to say nonsensical statements. She prepared for trial for hours by meticulously interviewing me and constructing the sequence of events 5 years back and sometimes to the minutes and thus was able to properly come up with a strategy for cross examination to impeach the false accuser against me. And she was able to use the info from the criminal trial and notes and transcripts to achieve victory in my family court trial saving me a huge amount of money, by pointing to the previous inconsistencies and errors made by the false accuser she crossed examined. I was very happy I hired her, She's truly a fighter. I recommended her to all my friends who find themselves in the same circumstances.
