Review Lisa Chambers

Great experience

Posted by

Lisa Marie Chambers and her team were top notch. I met them in July 2018 and my divorce was final November 2018. Our divorce was not contested but it was a little complicated because of all the assets we accumulated. Lisa Marie and her team took the time to understand and execute a fair split of assets in a professional and timely manner. They also helped me keep my perspective to the end goal and keep the divorce as amicable as possible. In mediation, I felt well represented with their knowledge and professional attitudes. I highly recommend this team should you need a divorce attorney.

Great Attorney

Posted by

Lisa has been my attorney through my divorce and a child support modification. She is always willing to answer any question I have and always puts my mind at ease when we are finished consulting. I have nothing but positive comments about Lisa and the Meriwether and Tharp Law Offices. Legal proceedings are not fun, but knowing you have someone like Lisa on your side helps.

Quality Ethical Treatment

Posted by

Lisa Marie Chambers and the rest of my team were fantastic. They listened and were sensitive about the manner in which I wished to proceed. I got exactly what I wanted, which was solid legal guidance and documentation. I was well informed along the way, was able to make needed changes to the agreement, and was thus able to avoid a lengthy and expensive court battle. Highly recommended.

Exceptional Attorney and Highly Recommended!

I could not have asked for a better attorney to represent me during my lengthy divorce. I have lots to say about Lisa Marie, so please read on if you’re searching for an honorable and knowledgeable attorney. I contacted Meriwether and Tharp in July 2015 and was recommended Lisa Marie Chambers. We had an initial phone consultation and then met in person to discuss the details of my divorce. She gave me her undivided attention and offered excellent advice during this difficult time. I immediately noticed that Lisa Marie is not only very familiar with all pertaining laws, but she is very honest and truly cares about the people whom she represents. The divorce process continued for over a year and a half due to an unwavering and aggressive opposing side. Lisa Marie was very aware of the costs associated with an unnecessarily aggressive approach, so she refused to respond to the opposing side with reactive aggression. Her main focus is to come to a quick and fair outcome, based on laws and equity, to relieve all parties of additional financial and emotional stress. Through the ups and downs, she always made time to thoughtfully respond to me and consistently offered me level-headed advice. She is passionate about her job as a family law attorney and it showed in every single communication between the two of us. Lisa Marie is dedicated-worker, is patient and understanding, is very knowledgeable of the law, and honestly believes in justice and equality. I would recommend her to anyone as a family law attorney!

Excellent representation in a complicated divorce case

Posted by

Lisa Marie Chambers provided superior legal representation in my divorce case which had many unanticipated twists and turns. Lisa Marie effectively dealt with each new issue and gave me reassurance during a very stressful divorce process. She is very professional and easily accessible by phone and email. She is easy to talk to and gives sound legal advice. Lisa Marie was well-prepared for mediation and I was very pleased with the results. I would highly recommend her for anyone going through a divorce, especially when the other party is not cooperative in the process.

Outstanding Attorney

Lisa recently represented me during divorce proceedings with a litigious ex-wife and provided outstanding legal advice and representation. I was very pleased with all aspects of her legal service as well as her communication and responsiveness. I highly recommend her and the MT law firm.

Visitation Modification/Contempt Cases

Posted by

I have been involved in an extensive family law case involving change of visitation coupled with multiple contempt of court charges. Lisa Marie Maksymczak was able to deal with an extremely aggressive and hostile opposing counsel all the while providing strength, knowledge and comfort to this client. Her attention to detail and thorough knowledge of the law proved tantamount to the success of the case. Lisa was always professional, accessible, and approachable, providing constant communication and assurance as to the status of the case. I would strongly recommend Lisa for any family law needs because of her expert knowledge of the law, thoroughness to detail and ability to be a symbol of strength and comfort during a very difficult time period.

I endorse Lisa Marie for her legal expertise in Family Law. She is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community.

Robert Tharp, Family Attorney on Feb 6, 2015
Relationship: Supervised lawyer

Prior to working at our office, i had a case against Lisa Marie. I found her to be well prepared and had that rare practical awareness of the case that help lead the parties to resolve their differences and settled that case amicably. Since joining our firm, i have gotten the pleasure to know her better and more fully evaluate her skills. She is a great attorney that truly understands the balance of zealous advocacy and practical solutions to settle a case. She always considers a client's ROI when making decisions. In addition, she is not afraid to take the appropriate cases to trial when it serves her client's best interest. It is a pleasure having her a member of our team.

David Beaudry, Family Attorney on Feb 6, 2015
Relationship: Co-worker

I endorse this lawyer.I first met Lisa Marie as opposing counsel in a case. I now have the pleasure of working with her and having her metriculous lawyering skills working together. Lisa Marie is a hard working, dedicated attorney who takes strives to set things right and achive justice for her clients. I am proud to know her.

Patrick Meriwether, Family Attorney on Feb 6, 2015
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

I endorse this lawyer. My first experience with Lisa Marie was as opposing counsel in a difficult case that did not settle until at trial (through no fault of hers). She was working with Todd Orston at the time. She was zealous in her representation of her client and had a firm command on the law. But, she was always open to discussing the case to work towards a compromise. Even though she was previously opposing counsel, we were excited when she joined our team a year later to work with us. Now having had a chance to work with her, I know that she approaches her cases from a practical as well as legal standpoint. Sometimes the Courtroom option is not the best, and she works with her clients to resolve their cases rather than just litigate them.

Marisa Leeds, Family Attorney on Feb 6, 2015
Relationship: Co-worker

I endorse this lawyer.

Natasha Bennett, Family Attorney on Feb 4, 2015
