Avoid

After I had hired Lisa, I know she has judgements out for unpaid bills or that she has a habit of dragging out cases for decades to increase her earnings. Her office is nothing more than a room the size of a closet in a building used by numerous other lawyers. There is very little privacy when discus...sing sensitive matters. I would never recommend her to my friends, family, or business associates.

Knowledge & Integrity

Lisas knowledge of the law combined with her compassion and integrity made for a a very successful outcome for my child custody case. Lisa always took the time to explain what was going on and was there for me when I had questions. I never once had to question or doubt her abilitys, that is very co...mforting when you are going to court! I feel that she is an extreemly gifted attorney and a good, honest person. I would highly recommend her!

Trustworthy and Professional

I was so impressed with Ms. Gentile both in her office and in the court room. Her knowledge of the law was comforting and her passion for wanting to do the right thing was admireable to say the least. Her no nonsence approach saved time and money. Unlike most attorneys, she was only ever a phone call... away and went above and beyond to make sure we understood the custody process and that our needs (and our childs) were met. Her comittment to our child and his future is admired by our entire family and circle of friends. If you need an attorney whos professionalism, compassion and knowledge of the law reaches far above the norm, Ms Gentile is the best there is. We are grateful.

MONEY HUNGRY ATTORNEY WITH NO REGARD TO HER CLIENT'S BANK ACCOUNT

I would never recommend this attorney to anybody unless you have money to just throw away. She drags EVERYTHING out to get more money from her clients. Unfortunately I found out a little too late that a lot of things could have been handled immediately but instead she drug things out for years, eve...n child support/custody and the final outcome was the same as if I would of settled right away. She has a very nasty mouth when speaking to clients and the other parties. I was embarrassed at times because when things weren't going her way in the courtroom, I thought she was going to start stomping her feet like a 2 year old. Never again!

Open/brutally honest/EXACTLY what I needed

I was referred to Lisa by a high school friend. Lisa has been my attorney for many years. From the beginning she was open and honest with all the questions I had. She handled my 4 year divorce/custody and helped settle the issues of selling/splitting our marital assets/house/creditors. She was bru...tally honest even when things got tough with the X and there were things I didn't want to hear. With taking her advice and my final decision the entire process took longer than I wanted (bc of my X, not Lisa)....I only need her on occasion with minor issues that pop up and I know I can fully rely on her being there.
