Finally a winner!!!!

I have had the unfortunate need for divorce lawyers over the years as many of us have. Most are more concerned with how nuch money you make and how they can drag things out to get what they can. Lisa is NOT one of those. She actually cares about you and your case and I get the impression she person...ally gets involved in each case. She has great insight and gives you honest options as to your situation. More importantly, she actually helped me WIN custody of my children from a mother that was not considered a high risk - in Maryland no less!!!!! I can’t say enough good things about this lady. I can’t recommend her highly enough. 5 stars? NO, I would give her 20 stars if I could!!!!!!!

Divorcing? Step #1 call Lisa

Lisa Trail is an AMAZING attorney and I am so thankful to have found her!! The services she offers are invaluable for everyone divorcing: if you are thinking of divorcing, preparing for mediation, or need to modify an agreement. Lisa will help you through your divorce process with compassion and k...nowledge as it applies to your issues and your life. Lisa will: *SAVE you thousands of dollars and many wasted hours *HONESTLY explain the messy ugliness of divorce and what to expect for your particular situation *SIMPLIFY and breakdown your options so that you understand and have the knowledge to make informed decisions *STRATEGIZE and create a plan that works best for you, set goals and timelines for you *GUIDE you through the mounds of paperwork, where and how to gather information the court/divorce attorney will require *UNDERSTAND that at times you may be overwhelmed and emotional *ASSIST you in staying focused, drafting emails and preparing documents Lisa’s help over the last year has made an incredible impact on my life. Her caring guidance, the sweet calmness she has when helping to deal with stressful topics, and the simple, straightforward uncomplicated explanations, answers, possible options and solutions for my issues have empowered me during a very difficult time. With her support and encouragement, I was able to effectively and without emotion, communicate with my spouse about complicated and sensitive issues. Lisa helped me find my inner goddess warrior self!! Lisa Trail thank you for your support! Thank you for being the woman you are!! You really make a difference and I hope you continue to find your consulting work rewarding and fulfilling. You have so much to offer so many!!

Great service and advice

I needed someone to explain and help with a divorce agreement and how to fill out all of the court paperwork correctly. Lisa was able to help me with exactly what I needed without all the hassles that other attorneys were giving me. I didn't need an attorney to represent me, I just wanted someone to ...consult with and she was perfect!

Lisa is the Best!

When I first met Lisa Trail, I was a scared woman, unsure of the process of divorce and what, exactly was happening around me. She could instantly tell how bewildered I was and set out to explain how she would proceed if I chose to hire her. Every step in the divorce process was new to me and Lis...a patiently explained each step along the way. Because of Lisa, I became more and more confident that I had an advocate who would fight for me. Lisa negotiated the best possible settlement for me, which allowed me to slowly get back on my feet and figure out a new path for my life. I am not sure I'd be where I am today without Lisa's determination to do everything she could for me.

Awesome consultant!

Lisa was very knowledgeable of the current Maryland laws and understanding to my situation. She was professional and I felt as though she made an effort to respond to my questions promptly. She did an excellent job drafting my documents and I feel comfortable reaching out with further questions. I'm ...hoping that my matter will be resolved soon.
