Unprofessional

THE POSITIVE REVIEWS ARE MOST LIKELY FAKE! The lawyer disclosed private information to other people without permission. This lawyer is also not telling the true story: lies. She is allegedly removing negative reviews. PLEASE consider other options for she is UNPROFESSIONAL, a LIAR, and overall she... is not a good lawyer at all. Not dressed, hair all crazy, any other lawyer is recommended over her.

Absolutely amazing.

I had 2 previous lawyers who just took my money and didn't care if I saw my kids. Lisa went above and beyond and I ended up with full custody after a long hard road.

Listen to the bad reviews

I was referred by a family member that is a friend of hers for she was known to fight and get things done. First red flag was she didn’t want to meet face to face to discuss any kind of plan, meet me as a person or her I and insisted I TRUST her. We won’t into a custody meeting and she gave me the ru...n down that it would be a low key meeting, have a good chance to get what I’m asking and she would ask me questions I would explain to the custody master why I was there and the second we walk in to the office I see my ex who proceeds to tell me she called him an a**hole before I even met the woman. Ok, whatever, but the second we get in front of the custody master she saw red and went for my ex’s head on a spike. It was not prepared well, she messed up timelines and facts I told her with sloppy notes on a blank piece of paper like she just jotted stuff down real quick and then proceeds to make me look like a bitter b*tch who just wants to rip my ex’s child away. She didn’t ask me a single question, she refused to let me talk at all while my ex got to explain his side and his lawyer was amazing. After the meeting was said and done and she killed any chance of coming to an agreement to avoid court, she devised a plan to blackmail my ex with child support. Sick idea which I wanted to part of. On top of all that I wrote an email explaining how I felt misrepresented, I cried at the meeting and she lied about everything and just went off the rails so I wanted answers. She then emailed me back stating she only read one sentence of my email, drug my ex’s lawyer into our business and then told me maybe I should get a new attorney and left me high and dry to deal with an unresolved divorce and custody case. my money down the drain on an arrogant rude angry woman who has no regard for anything her clients want when they pay her. Don’t hire her. She’s the worst person and most unprofessional person I’ve ever worked with. Waste of money.

NO WAY

I was recommended to call her from my Safe Berks attorney. I called her for 3 days and she was impossible to get a hold of as I had an emergency hearing approaching in less than 3 days. Finally she returned my call and I missed her first call. When she called the second time she was extremely rude an...d was yelling at me on the phone about not wasting her time. You heard me right ME "the client". After reading all the negative reviews they fit her down to a T. She Is captain Drama and disrespect.

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!
