This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Want the Job Done Right? Hire Lisa

I met Lisa several years ago through the Greater NYC legal community. I hired Lisa on a legal research and writing project on a family law matter. She provided invaluable research to help me in a pinch. Not only is Lisa personable and gregarious, but Lisa is a very talented, bright legal researche...r and writer. She is phenomenal at what she does and will be an asset to any attorney looking for legal research and writing needs.

Appeals lawyer | Jul 22

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I'd long been familiar with Lisa's writing through her samples at www.questionoflaw.net and it is outstanding: fluid and effortless, yet incredibly powerful. My familiarity with Lisa's writing skills lead me to retain her for a complex research matter on a rather obscure legal issue. In doing so, I discovered that Lisa brings much more to the table than merely writing skills. Through insightful questions and interaction, Lisa helped refine the scope of the assignment and keep the research on track. I was able to deliver Lisa's lengthy memo virtually unchanged to the client. As a result of her success in building a thriving, national contract law practice, Lisa has developed a program to help other lawyers considering this path. Lisa has been an energetic pioneer who shows lawyers that they can have an intellectually stimulating practice while still maintaining a life outside the law."

"I know Lisa from several online communities to which we both belong. She has a stellar reputation as a legal researcher and writer, and she has a great entrepreneurial mind as well. In addition to running her own legal research and writing business, she trains other lawyers on how to market and provide those kinds of services. (Those are just two of her jobs; the others are well worth checking out as well.) I wholeheartedly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for the kinds of assistance she can offer."

"Lisa is an extremely talented appellate specialist. She is truly a lawyer's lawyer -- a specialist whom other lawyers seek out to assist them. She has provided very timely and helpful assistance to me in the past. Lisa and I practice in the same area -- appeals in NY. If there was an appeal I could not handle myself, I would send my client to Lisa in a second, and I would have the greatest confidence that my client would be very well represented."

Appeals lawyer | Apr 08

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"When I was approached by a client to draft a petition for certiorari before the U.S. Supreme Court with a deadline approaching, I immediately turned to Lisa for assistance. I had learned of Lisa's work through the recommendations of a number of other attorneys. Lisa worked closely with me to research and develop arguments for the petition. I was impressed not only with her analytical abilities but with her willingness to challenge my analyses and ability to help me flesh out the arguments. We were working on a very tight time frame and I could not have completed the work as I did without Lisa's invaluable help. I would not hesitate to work with Lisa again in the future."

"Lisa Solomon is sharp and always willing to lend advice in her specialized area of expertise. I communicate with Ms. Solomon often through an online legal community that we are both colleagues and members in, and I often see things in a different light after reading her sharp analysis. Her, and her writing skills, are not only heartily endorsed, but a credit to whatever client or matter she is working on. Highest recommendation."
