Ms. Harding is a seasoned litigator with over fifteen years of experience in domestic relations and family law.
As the Proprietor and Managing Attorney at The Law Office of Lisa Harding, LLC, she spends most of her time involved in the day to day throws of custody, support, domestic violence, and divorce disputes.

As a result, Ms. Harding is proficient in all matters involving juvenile delinquency and juvenile justice.
After leaving her position as a city attorney, Ms. Harding delved into the foray of private practice where she has garnered the reputation of being stealthy competent and an aggressive advocate for her clients.

Her comprehensive approach has distinguished her from her contemporaries branding her a full service niche practice.

She has successfully argued for and against parents’ petitions for primary physical custody, shared physical custody, and visitation, ,as well as spousal support, alimony, alimony pendent lite, and what is considered equitable distribution. She has drafted pre-nuptial, post-nuptial agreements, and settlement agreements that have been honored by the court.
