Highly recommend!
I called Lisa Beth to get legal advice on my 3 year long litigation nightmare as I’m at a point that it will go to trial. Although she couldn’t take my case due to my lack of funds, she consulted with me over the phone in depth to go over my case. She gave me very good advice and encouragement and only wished I had retained her from the beginning of my divorce. She was very sympathetic to my situation and she was very thoughtful in giving me advice. In the end, she referred me to speak to a lawyer friend of hers.

Absolutely the BEST LAWYER, she will fight day and night for you!
Lisa Beth and her team (each and every one of them) are the most compassionate, dedicated and hard working group of people you will find to represent you. Aside from Lisa Beth’s deep and superior knowledge of the law, case dynamics and complexities, she has a keen sense to hone in on what the critical issues are and develop a strategy to help you win your case. During my very first discussion with Lisa Beth over the phone, I knew I had found the right person to represent me and I would not have to look any further (at this point, I had been through 3 very high priced lawyers). Once I met with Lisa Beth in person, she confirmed my instincts. Lisa Beth will combine her rich character attributes with her deep knowledge of the law, intense commitment and hard work to help you win!

Highly recommend Ms. Older
At a time when I was most confused about the court system and divorce in general, Ms Older helped and guided me through this very painful ordeal. She was most professional and compassionate. I trusted in her 100% and will always be grateful for her help. I would recommend her to any woman or man that needs an attorney for a family matter.

100% awesome
Lisa Beth was creative, dedicated and always looking out for my best interest. I'd recommend her strongly to anyone in need.

Brilliant!!!
Lisa Beth is a brilliant attorney who is not afraid to 'buck the system" if it is in her client's best interest to do so. Lisa Beth is a bull dog when she needs to be, fighting tirlessly for her client's rights, and also one of the most genuinely caring people I know. If it were not for Lisa Beth I would no longer have custody of my son. Lisa Beth took my case even though the odds were against us, and won my case, unanimously!. Everyone should have a Lisa Beth in their corner, she is amazing!

Lisa Beth Older has represented me and many others on a number of entertainment law, family law, and employment related matters in a span of over 20 years. I have watched her in court and she is a PIT BULL, never giving up or giving in a professional way. She works all hours of the night to get your best possible result. I have used her for years and she is very smart, is always there for me, and is currently of great assistance in employment related legal problems.

Excellent, compassionate service
I consulted with Lisa Beth on a very sensitive custody/divorce law issue. She was extremely compassionate, professional and responsive. Her advice helped my state of mind enormously, and permitted me to feel more in "control" of my options. I highly recommend her.

Lisa wrote an effective letter to a shop that owed me substantial money on consignment items that she sold and did not pay for, Lisa also had helped me previously with custody and divorce issues in 2000 -2003. Her advice was invaluable. She is a true specialist. She is a consummate professional and I rate her very highly.

Thank you so much

Best Super Lawyer Left in NYC
I've had very complex custodial legal issues and she knows the law "cold". I would consider her a genius at her practice. She is a "pitbull" in the court room and will have other lawyers opposing you scampering aound to find their bearings. I have dealt with other lawyers before and I know their "schtick". I am soooo glad I went with Mrs. Older. Lisa has worked endlessly at all hours of the night and I have often found myself saying," No other lawyer would do this amount of work or care so deeply". Lisa has brought results where I thought things were hopeless. Time and time again I have said she should be a judge because she is incredible!!!! A++++++++
