Time-sharing with my son

After the mediation I attended with my friend and original lawyer, I was recommended Lisa Baird. I liked her from the start. She was very knowledgeable in her field and was realistic about my case. She told me what likely would happen and what likely would not happen at my hearing. She ended up bein...g right. She gave me the impression that she was genuinely concerned with my son's best interest, not just her client's. I would use her again in the future if I needed to and I would recommend her to anyone who is reasonable with what they are looking to have accomplished.

Buyer beware

Lisa and her staff start out seemingly sympathetic and helpful, but in the end, all that matters to her is getting money from you. She did almost nothing on my case and let my ex-husband repeatedly violate our court orders, failed to file orders for sanctions against my ex that the judge ordered her ...to file, and withdrew from the case as soon as she had taken all the money I had while saying it would cost significantly more to continue at all. The majority of the things on my invoices were actions she took without ever speaking to me about them. She neglected to file anything I asked her to do something about. In the end I spent over $30,000 on her representation and received nothing from it. All I got was done on my own. Go anywhere else if you need help with your divorce.

Replied last November 21, 2017

In only SEVEN months’ time we vigorously defended this client’s rights in SIX court hearings and one all-day mediation that resulted in this client being able to relocate with her children and receive alimony, child support, and an advance distribution of assets. After these victories, she sent us the following unsolicited email: "Apparently today is love your lawyer day, so I thought I should let you know that words can’t express how appreciative I am of all you’ve done. You’ve fought for me when you couldn’t be sure you’d be paid, and it means the world to me and my children." We withdrew from the client’s representation, having obtained these fantastic results, because she had unrealistic expectations regarding third-party defendants that she could not afford to pursue. One month later, she begged us for assistance on an emergency basis and promised to pay for our services afterwards. We resumed her representation on faith that she would adhere to her promise, winning yet another victory in court on her behalf. She then refused to honor her promise to pay unless we would also handle an entire trial on her behalf against the two other defendants in addition to her husband, also on a promise-to-pay basis after trial was concluded. When we declined this offer and withdrew from representation a second time, the client settled the case without going to trial by dropping the defendants and accepting the same deal that we had obtained at mediation, plus a contribution to her attorney’s fees and an extension of her alimony. It is simply the request for her promised payment, and not any failings or dereliction on our part, that has resulted in this inaccurate review. Notwithstanding this new perspective on all we have done for this client, we wish her and her children much happiness in their new environment and invite the client to contact us directly to discuss a reasonable payment schedule of her outstanding balance.

Poor Representation

I hired Lisa, gave her the $10,000 NON refundable retainer. She was supposed to represent me at my support hearing. My husband's attorney had a lot to say, Lisa said nothing !!! She had all my husbands financials , I ended up with a minimal amount of support, in a rental in a high crime area.....all ...suggestions of my husband and his attorney told the Judge. Even though my husband makes a good living , and I owned 2 homes with him . To think that Lisa had nothing to re buttle with on my behalf, I was in shock . Helen Keller would have been a better choice for an attorney. Stay away ,she acts nice, dresses well, but stinks at defending you. She and her assistant were even were cursing at me in the end she withdrew, before the $10,000 was spent. UGG I had to hire another attorney, one that was not an emotional wreck..BEWARE

Perfect...

LIsa will always be saved in my phone so I can give her number to anyone who needs her services. I recently had to defend myself against my ex for "past" due child support. She completely embarrassed the other attorney in court ....2x's. From the beginning everything she explained would happen in ...court did. She is a very up front and honest attorney. She is not afraid to tell you what you do not want to hear in order to get the best outcome for her client. Will always recommend her.

Super Attorney!!!! 10 Stars ***********

Words cannot describe how fantastic Lisa Baird and her legal team, Adara Rodriguez are!! I had a complicated International Divorce/ Custody Battle which she immediately took on and explained the process to me step by step. In court, Lisa commanded the entire room and we won any and every motion we fi...led. She thoroughly understood my needs and concerns and assured us that my son and I will come out on top! I highly recommend Lisa Baird and will call her the moment I am ever in need of representation in the future.
