Lisa is an exceptional lawyer!

Lisa showed remarkable skill in my divorce case. She was smart, strategic, detailed-oriented, and cost-efficient. I always felt I was in the best of hands with her no matter how difficult my case was. She worked at times around the clock, and even on her vacation, to meet deadlines and dodge bull...ets from the other side. I really trusted her with my life and she came through for me 110%. I have also recommended Lisa to many friends and all have been very pleased with the work she has done for them. She really is an exceptional lawyer, and a very special person.

Divorce and separation lawyer | May 16

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I just pray that if my wife ever wants to divorce me she does not go to Lisa. Thank God she has a conflict! Bright, articulate and exactly what you need if you are afraid of the divorce process and want a tenacious advocate to hold your hand and stand as your shield while plodding through an ugly and emotional proceeding. I have witnessed her in action....simply the best!"

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
