Lisa Marie Gardner

I hired Lisa for a simple divorce case, custody and child support. Lisa failed to file a court of Contempt against my ex to receive child support, he failed to pay for over an year and she did nothing. She allowed my ex to harass me for over an year after asking her several times to file a violati...on petition. The retainer however went very fast with no advance on my divorce case. Several times I called her with no replies on my emails or phone calls.

I spent the better part of a year resolving my divorce and then a child custody dispute. During that time, Lisa demonstrated that she is a smart, thorough, compassionate and most importantly an ethical lawyer. She also made herself available any time I needed her. She was very thorough in reviewin...g motions, court orders and preparing for court. She clearly understands the law as it pertains to matrimonial and child custody cases. Lisa always maintained a professional attitude when faced with intimidating posturing from opposing counsel, yet she also made it clear we would not back down from our position. Her thorough understanding of the law and professionalism gained the respect of opposing counsel and was a major contributor in being able to settle my case in a fair and equitable manner. My hope is that I will never have to be in family court again, but if it does have to come to that, there is no doubt that Lisa Gardner will be representing me.

To say this attorney goes above and beyond the call of duty does not begin to describe her level of dedication. She has the highest levels of professionalism and consideration I could have hoped to find. I went through a long, divorce/custody case and she was with me every step of the way, knew ever...y issue I was dealing with thoroughly, provided the best possible advice, managed unpredictable situations and personalities with apparent effortlessness, defended me with the grit and poise of a truly great attorney.
