Employment and labor lawyer | Apr 04

Relationship: Worked together on matter

Arbitration lawyer | Oct 14

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse Lisa; she is a highly accomplished and tenacious litigator. I routinely refer employment matters to her and have faced her on the other side of cases on occasion. The most recent matter involved a mediation/arbitration hybrid employment case. She represented her client well and the case was resolved in no small part due to her familiarity with the process and sharp legal acumen."

Employment and labor lawyer | Oct 03

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Lisa and I have been on the opposing side of many cases. She consistently displays the technical knowledge of employment law matters that enables both opposing counsel and herself to identify key facts, issues and areas of disagreement quickly and without rancor. Lisa displays passion for her clients without undue emotion or exaggeration of position, a litigation style that I find effective. As opponents, we have been able to resolve disputes, often early on, and protect our client's most significant positions. Lisa has a diversified practice and is much in demand in our community. I am aware that she receives referral from multiple sources. I have sent cases to her myself when not creating a conflict for my own client."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
