    Review Lisa Fitzpatrick

    AMAZING LAWYER GREAT SUPPORTER

    Posted by

    Lisa has helped our family in more ways than we could ever express. Her communication, professionalism, knowledge, and dedication is unbelievable. My husband and I have used several different lawyers in the area over the past few years. After using Lisa there is no one else we could imagine to represent our family but her. Lisa and her staff ALWAYS returned calls, were ALWAYS there to EXPLAIN things (sometime more than once ), stayed very well ORGANIZED, and really CARED about our case. If communication, organization and professionalism is not enough just watching Lisa in court is amazing. Lisa Fitzpatrick does her homework and knows the laws. She was a fire ball in court and even had past court cases that she had researched for our case. We highly recommend Lisa and her team to anyone looking for someone who is passionate about your case. SHE CARES, SHE WORKS HARD, AND SHE IS DETERMINED TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT!

I highly regards for lisa and her staff . Thank you again .

    Great Divorce Lawyer

    Posted by

    Everyone was very nice and professional. They was very prompt with calling and emailing me back with any questions I needed answer. The communication was excellent and very on point. Mrs. Fitzpatrick really explained my options well and made me feel like I was making the right choice instead of just telling what I need to do for her financial benefits. Yes I would definitely recommend her firm to anyone.

    This Is Who You Want

    Posted by

    Mrs. Fitzpatrick was the go-to name dropped by attorneys in other areas, statistics, and legal performance awards when researching who we wanted to help our family. She navigated us through a separation agreement, divorce, and as plaintiffs in a breach of contract lawsuit pertaining to the separation agreement over the past two years to present. Each task was completed successfully with dedication and detail, and we were so much more at peace knowing she was there to facilitate. Mrs. Fitzpatrick did excellent in court, is organized, efficient, and puts you at ease when communicating with her. I would recommend her to anyone in serious stress who just needs someone to take the weight off your shoulders by dealing with the legalities of your difficult situation.

    As a fellow member of the Pitt County family law bar I am proud to have Lisa Fitzpatrick as my colleague. Lisa is extremely knowledgeable in all family law matters. She is always open to ways to resolve cases but is also prepared to try the case if settlement is not an option. I enjoy trying cases against Lisa because I know in doing so I have a most capable opponent. We share a common philosophy of caring about our clients and doing a good job for them. I highly endorse her as a family law attorney.
