Custody challenge

Lisa handled my case with care and great expertise. She explained everything clearly and calmly. She helped me to understand the process from beginning to end. Even when I was provoked in court she coached me on what not to do. With her, I won! I highly recommended Lisa! Hiring Lisa was the bes...t thing I did for me and my son.

Mr.

I hired Lisa Franchina to represent me in my divorce and she guided me through the most unpleasant time of my life. I had no idea what I was doing however, she was there every step of the way. Quite frankly, she helped me keep things in perspective, particularly when my emotions blocked clear thinki...ng. She managed to have my divorce finalized within a two month period which I found awfully impressive. Lisa Franchina is an outstanding professional and I strongly recommend her services for any family law matters. Immediately after my divorce, I hired her again to complete my will, something I had procrastinated for years. Thank you Lisa for your commitment to customer satisfaction and professionalism.

Waste of money

My family hired Lisa (by recommendation) to handle two custody cases - $15,000 later neither case was settled to our satisfaction AND she requested an additional $5,000 to finish the work. We hired a different lawyer (for under $2000) and won our case. She was way over-priced, didn't follow thru (sta...ted she would handle a restraining order then later refused), was mean-spirited and obnoxious. Don't waste your money !!

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.
