Lisa Anne D'Agostino

Mrs D’Agostino was very informative on the divorce options & proceedings from the very beginning. She was cordial & very available whenever i needed information or had any questions. She was also spot on on the amount of time it would take to complete. I’m so happy i hired her and her firm . I’d reco...mmend her to anyone #happyclient

Of course going through a divorce is never pleasant but Lisa made my experience as pain-free as possible. She is extremely knowledgeable. I always felt very confident with her. She always responded immediately to my emails and calmed me down when my ex was giving me a very difficult time. I highl...y recommend her if you need a divorce attorney. I am extremely pleased with my experience with Lisa and her firm.

I am speaking from my personal experience with her of over one year. The bottom line is that she is both "sure of herself " and incompetent at the same time. This is a very bad combination of an arrogant personality trait and insufficient attorney knowledge. She would rather guess or make something... up, regarding a legal phrase for example, than search for the correct answer or ask an associate. She was not capable enough of simple addition. She dragged out my case, going back and forth, accomplishing nothing, while making serious mistakes as an example, not even having all the parties names correct in a legal correspondence and completely misunderstanding a legal clause that was integral to the case. On the actual day that I needed her (petitioned to court) she said she was not available and made no attempt to get a replacement. I had to stand before a judge on my own and to be honest, being my own representative was far better than having her involved to do something really dumb.

Seven years ago, Child Protective Services took me to Family Court with some very nasty charges against me. To be perfectly fair to her, she was acting under the orders of her boss who is no longer with the firm. Having said that, this woman totally, utterly, and miserably failed to impeach the credi...bility of the witness against me, something a tenth grader could have done. There was a full order of protection on behalf of my son against me, and Ms. D represented me in the hearing to modify the OOP. The State Central Registry report was called in anonymously and was entered into evidence contrary to the law. ms. D did not object. The caseworker testified as to various things my son had allegedly done in school as a result of things I exposed him to;Ms. D failed to cross examine as to who, what, where, when, and how. The witness made a statement totally contrary to what was on the court papers; Ms. D failed to attempt to impeach the credibility of this witness. I left Family Court at 9 that night; wallet lighter and no closer to my goal. I am not an angry litigant who lost his case and is looking for revenge by posting a bad review. The local District Attorney did not press criminal charges against me, the Child Advocacy Center found no evidence of physical abuse or physical contact, and the psychologist charged with validating abuse concluded none occurred. I was given an Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal, that period passed with relative ease, and the nightmare is long over. Thanks to the lawyer I subsequently retained and not Ms. D. I gave her two stars because she told me not to react to what was said in court and obtained a short adjournment. My advice is not to use her.
