Lost without Lisa! :)

Lisa has been amazing! I had no idea where to start with my uncontested divorce... I knew I didn't need to spend thousands of dollars on a lawyer since there was no litigation... but I had no idea what to do. She walked me through the whole process... explained the parts I could take care of and the ...parts she would help with. She proved templates and explanations for me to use. Every question I had she clearly explained and responded super quickly. She saved me so much money and made the entire process so smooth. I would absolutely recommend Lisa without a doubt! :)

Lisa is everything you’re looking for and more!

Lisa has been an incredible help during a difficult time, I don’t know what I’d do with out her. When I went to see her, I was overwhelmed and lost. I had so many questions and was so confused, I didn’t even know what half of those questions were. Lisa’s warm professionalism, calm and compassionate m...anner, and vast expertise were exactly what I needed to guide me through this process. Lisa put me at ease as she explained the process to me and what I could expect. She explained all of my options and answered all of my questions, the ones I had and the ones I didn’t know I had. I cannot say enough about what a tremendous help she has been. With Lisa, I’m not facing this alone. Having her there to consult with at anytime, about anything is exactly the kind of help I needed. Working with Lisa allows you to have an expert and an advocate in your corner at a challenging and emotional time. In addition, it saves you a great deal of money, which is often a big source of stress during this time. Her personalized and professional approach allows Lisa to give you the help that’s right for YOU, making the whole process easier and you feel more confident as a result. If you have any family law needs, Lisa is the perfect choice. I cannot recommend Lisa Trail and Maryland Strategic Divorce Consulting highly enough!

Highly Recommend Lisa's services

I was referred to Lisa by a friend who had gone through a similar situation that I was going through with a separation/divorce. It was the best thing that I could ever have done. Lisa consulted with me and offered great advice and really worked hard to help craft an agreement between my (now) ex-wife... and I. She was very straight-forward, fair and measured in her approach, all while keeping my best interests at the forefront. Lisa did a great job in getting me through a difficult time and situation and did it with tremendous professionalism at a very fair cost. I highly recommend her.
