I can't recommend Lisa enough!

I was referred to Lisa by another attorney which is always a good place to start. Lisa had not only my best interest at heart but also my children’s and any one that knows me know I lead with them. The first time I spoke to her I knew she was the attorney for me. She is no nonsense but caring at ...the same time, I remember after our first meeting I asked if I could hug her good-bye and she said yes without hesitation (I am a hugger). Lisa listened to what brought me to her and then very strategically decided the best route for us to take. She always made sure I was in agreement but to be honest if you hire Lisa there is no need to question her strategy. Many times we would come together with the same exact thoughts in mind. I will say that there were a few times we didn’t agree and she and I worked it out always able to understand where the other one was coming from. The most common thing friends would say to me is “the lawyer’s get rich, they drag it along…” NOT THE CASE HERE!! This could not be further from the truth. On many occasions Lisa would say we could do that but I don’t think you need to spend the money to do that. Once example that comes to mind was my asking if we should prep for a meeting with my ex and his attorney before hand. She said what ever we need to do we can do over the phone, I don’t think you need to spend time and money to meet right now. She said she would always let me know when that is needed. I could go on and on. All I can say is you need to hire this person, you will not regret it. One last thing I would like to add is that I felt protected and for me that was very important.

Lisa does not break!

At some point in your divorce, you will reach a point where, emotionally, you are breaking down and can't fight anymore. This happens even in "good" divorces (mine was not a "good" divorce!). This is why you need a lawyer like Lisa. Professionally speaking, Lisa DOES NOT HAVE A BREAKING POINT. Sh...e will fight for you until the fight is done and you get everything squared away and get the best possible deal you can get. There were many many times during my divorce when I was really ready to give up, and told Lisa as much, and she totally got it but just kept fighting for me anyway, until everything was squared away and I got everything I needed. She is the best. She is tough, she is smart, and she thinks ahead for you. You are in good hands with Lisa!

Excellent, Smart, Tenacious

Lisa handled a post-divorce custody dispute for me and was absolutely amazing and got results for me that I never imagined. She is a strategic thinker and an experienced litigator who knows how to win over a long period of time. She is honest and dependable and never afraid to tell the client both ...the good and the not so good aspects of a particular situation. Lisa made herself available at all times including nights and weekends. She was a strong advocate, but maintained a professional approach at all times. I often felt like she was the only one around me who truly "got" the big picture. I trusted her implicitly, and as a lawyer myself, valued the service and dedication that I was receiving. Lisa was determined and detail-oriented, but she was always conscious of not having fees get out of hand. As a mother who had gone through an expensive divorce, I appreciated that as well. She has a keen understanding of all that makes a good divorce/family attorney - human nature, parenting, children and, of course, the law. She knows it inside out and is confident in her approach. All of this led me as the client to feel like my child's needs as well as my own were being fought for in a thoughtful and smart way. I would never have imagined such a result and having Lisa guide the very difficult process made it happen.

Hiring her was the best decision I ever made

Finding Lisa Zeiderman was nothing short of a miracle, and no one believes me when I tell them I found her on Avvo. Three years ago, scrolling through the web, feeling desperate and beaten down, I read the reviews on this site. They came from men and women, plaintiffs and defendants, those in the rig...ht and those in the wrong. All of them said the same thing: she is without peer. Up until three weeks ago, when she got me a better settlement than I had any right to expect, Lisa was my avenging angel, my Amazon warrior goddess, my Suze Orman. She held my hand when necessary, helped me to confront reality and get my financial life in order, and ultimately to become the woman I should have been long ago. At a time when I felt alone and helpless, she always had my back. Although my husband could never reach his extremely expensive attorneys, she took my phone calls on the weekends and at night. A general always in command of the field, Lisa is a strategist par excellence— tough, creative, shrewd, and a fantastic negotiator. Liked by judges, feared by opposing counsel, and beloved by her clients, she is truly extraordinary. She is not an Old Boy; she does not want to wrap up your case so she can meet up with your spouse’s attorney on the links later. She doesn’t care about being liked. During motion hearings and depositions, she always has her wits about her, and I have often seen her hoist another attorney on his own petard. It was quite a sight to see a lawyer’s jaw drop and a look of horror dawn as he realized he’d just been entrapped by his own words. An attorney she had recently beaten in a case once took me aside in the courtroom and told me how lucky I was to have her as my lawyer. He shook his head ruefully and said, “She’s a pitbull in a skirt.” “Yes,” I replied, “but she’s my pitbull.” Like many attorneys before and after him, he had discovered the hard way that she never gives up. When it seemed like my case might have to go to a long and costly trial that would be difficult for me to afford, Lisa told opposing counsel, “I am not abandoning her.” He knew she meant it, and it was the first step on the road to a final settlement. Amazingly, her fees are more than reasonable. My final bill was less than a third of what my ex-husband paid his very expensive lawyers—and he ended up footing most of my bill as well! I hope everyone reading this has the good sense and good fortune to make the choice I did. I found Lisa at the low point of my life, and I am about to embark on a future that seems incredibly bright—because of her.

Brilliant lawyer and advocate!

I first started out in mediation but quickly became nervous with the way things were going. I didn't feel comfortable I would be taken care in a fair manner and that I had someone in my corner with my best interest in mind. I was a stay-at-home mom, I hadn't worked outside the home in over 10 years..., and I was scared. After reading all the wonderful reviews about Lisa (and she was not the first attorney I contacted), I decide to meet with her and I'm SO thankful I did. She is everything in every great review written about her. She absolutely had my back throughout the entire process. Lisa defended me to the best of her ability and always did the right thing down to the smallest of details. I felt very comfortable confiding my concerns, thoughts and issues. She always listened, talked through the details with me, and came up with a strategy. Realizing I needed more than legal advice and support, Lisa even introduced me to a fabulous therapist who has been a tremendous help to me (and still is). Had I not met Lisa, I would be in a completely different (horrible actually) situation. She worked hard (evenings, weekends and during her vacations) to ensure I would be able to get through the years ahead, reinvent myself, and create a real future that suits me and my children, on MY terms. There is much satisfaction in looking back to the beginning remembering my ex saying he's going to "bring in the bulldog" to fight me, and it was QUITE the opposite as I was the one who ended up with the bulldog! A bulldog in fabulous outfits, but none the less, a bulldog! ;) Thanks to her, I feel secure, excited, and ready to begin my new life! Thank you Lisa!!
