Great Attorney

Lisa recently represented me for two cases that I had. One was a misdemeanor and one was a felony. With hard work and determination Lisa got both of my cases dismissed. I am forever grateful to Lisa for her dedication and commitment throughout this troubling time in my life. If you are in need of legal representation then give Lisa a call.

I hired Lisa after consulting with her and several other attorneys. It was easy to see she genuinely cared. Each attorney assured me there was no way around beating my felony charges. Lisa told me it was an uphill battle. Fast forward 1 year just walked out of court today MISDEMEANOR! She’s truly MAGICAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Extraordinary Lawyer who cares for you!

Nothing but great things to say about Ms. Lisa. She is a phenomenal lawyer, not only with the experience to back that statement, but also has a huge heart and genuinely cares about your issues like they are her own. I have never had to retain a lawyer prior to this, and she made the entire process simple, easy, and was able to get me the best possible outcome for my charges. I would recommend her to anyone in need of a lawyer and would definitely use her again if I needed to. Ms. Lisa is all around an amazing, diligent business woman who focuses on what is best for YOU. She was a blessing in my life for sure!

The best lawyer I can name

I can write a book .. I was faced with a terrible situation 1 Aggravated charge with a gun 1 reckless conduct 1 criminal damage to property… my first time ever getting in trouble with the law I prayed and ask God to lead me too the right person to help with my case… and I found her I knew nothing about the seriousness of my charges she explained everything to me she did all the work I trusted her to do .. she got 1 of my charge’s dropped and 2 broke down from felonies to misdemeanor’s… to top it all when I finish 12 months probation and family violence classes I get to have the first time offenders rights which clears my record.. I’ll refer Mrs. Well’s anytime she’s awesome and trusting I have no regrets she’s A-1 in my book ..

Tremendous Attorney!

Lisa is exceptional! We feel blessed that we found her, and she is a true professional. She is thoughtful, caring, professional, and I cannot imagine anyone who would fight harder for you. Fantastic experience.

Lisa was a Godsend!

I can’t say enough great things about Lisa! She was recommended to us by a friend of my son. She literally was a Godsend! Upon our first conversation with her....she showed a genuine, compassionate concern for our case and for our son and she hadn’t even met him, or us. She listened to our specifics about the case for almost an hour in the initial phone conversation. And when we made the decision to hire her, which she did not pressure us in any way, she hit the ground running. She visited our son in approximately a weeks time and began to fight to get him the best possible outcome in his defense. She kept us informed at every step of the way, was easy to get ahold of, wasn’t annoyed with my 1000’s of questions....was tough, and told us the truth even if it didn’t sound good...but totally did her best to help my son get the best possible sentence in his case. Her talent, experience and compassionate fight completely changed the direction of my son’s future. We highly recommend Lisa!! Thank you Lisa, from the bottom of our hearts!! You are a blessing!

GODSENT

Finding good legal representation can be a headache, I did my research and I decided to give Lisa a call. When meeting with Lisa I knew immediately that I wanted her to represent my husband. With 5 felony charges one of which carried a possible life sentence and 80 years on the other four counts we put our life in Lisa's hands. This is by far the best decision I've made in my entire life. He sat in gwinnett county jail with no bond and after serving just 7 months he walked out a free man on a probated sentence!!!!!! My expectations were far exceeded! Lisa is simply the best and I will forever be grateful for what she has done for our family. I recommend Lisa to anyone that's in need of a great criminal defense lawyer. I would trust her blindly time and time again! Forever grateful Silvia
