Outstanding, Knowledgeable, Caring, & Personable Legal Professional
If you have a family law issue and you are wondering who you should hire, I would highly recommend Lisa Coplan-Gardner to represent you. Lisa has been representing me in my family law suits for nearly 10 years now. Lisa is very knowledgeable and resourceful when it comes to family law. Lisa really showed me that she cares about me as her client and has gone above and beyond to help me win my cases. Lisa has always answered or returned my telephone calls and emails in a timely manner. She has a great support staff that are always willing to help. I have been very satisfied with the results that Lisa has produced while representing me in my lengthy case history. I have recommended Lisa to my close friends and family because she is such a dynamite attorney and a wonderful caring person.

EXCELLENT ATTORNEY - SHE'S A FIREBALL!!
I have used Lisa Coplan-Gardner on several occasions for child support issues. Every case has been ruled in my favor due to her hard-work, diligence and compassion. I always felt that my case was a priority for her and her entire staff. I have a special needs child and a complex case. At our initial consultation, before I even hired her, she began looking up information for me and guiding me. At no time did I ever feel that it was about money for her. I was surprised at her eagerness to help me, educate me and fight for me and my children. Her kindness, understanding and patience was a breath of fresh air after having spoken to 3 other attorneys who made me feel as if I were a number. They were cold and unconcerned. Lisa treated me like a friend. When it was obvious that my complex case was going to cost more than I could afford at the time, she was sympathetic. She allowed me to make payments to her and often discounted some of her rates. She also suggested ways that I could reduce the costs by handling some things myself instead of just sucking every penny out of me that she could get. By me being proactive in helping with my case, it helped me be more prepared and educated in the courtroom in front of the judge. It also helped me to prepare for what is proving to be a long-term battle against the father of my children. The advice and education that she gave me through the entire process is proving to be invaluable. She never kept me in the dark, she was always available to talk to me, and her staff was AMAZING AND HELPFUL!!!! The thing that most impressed me about Lisa was that she was always honest with me - a trait that is not commonly associated with her profession - even when it was something that I didn't want to hear. She seems to be well liked and respected by other attorneys and the judges seem to respond well to her. She is a sweet, tiny, little thing, but she might as well be 10 feet tall in the courtroom. I have the utmost confidence in her abilities and have referred her to others. They have had equally satisfying experiences with her firm. There is no question that I will utilize her services again in the future. Overall, I don't think that you could hire a better Family Law Attorney.

Best Choice in Family Law
If you need family law help in Jacksonville the best person to see is Lisa Coplan-Gardner and her wonderful staff. I was represented by Lisa in 2003 and this year when I needed help again she was the first person I called. The phone book is full of lawyers, but I never thought of calling anyone but her. I walked in crying and feeling like my situation was hopeless. After an hour of talking to both Lisa and Terry I quit crying and for the first time in months I felt like my daughter and I would be ok. Lisa is smart and tough and willing to fight for what is right and I know that her and her staff truly care about me and my case. I know the road ahead may be hard but with Lisa on my side I know I will be ok. I would recommend Lisa and her staff to everyone needing help with a family law issue.

The One
Lisa and her staff are great! I have had the pleasure of dealing with some other lawyer's and wasn’t pleased to say the least. She made me feel that my family was important and it showed in her work. My family and I have never been happier. If you are looking for a great attorney firm that will fight day and night for you, then don’t look past her and her staff.

Review of Lisa Coplan-Gardner
Lisa and her staff are outstanding. They really care about their clients and are a top-notch legal staff. Lisa was always there for me and responded to my emergency calls immediately. Lisa and her staff also handled a child custody case for my daughter and they fought for those children as if they were their own. Thanks to Lisa and all, my family has successfully navigated through some stressful times. I have referred other people to Lisa and they have all been very pleased.
