Excellent Client Care with the utmost integrity!

Dealing with issues from ex-spouse for 18 years and had never won a case. Lisa knows the law and has much knowledge concerning case law and found the answer I needed to finally get justice on my behalf. Never mislead me and always answered my requests in a timely manner. The fees that are needed t...o pay this firm are worth EVERY penny and every word of their commercials and advertisements are TRUE. They will fight for you, but are totally ethical and stand on their word.

HONEST AND CAREING

I HAVE ONLY CAME A CROSS TWO HONEST AND CAREING LAWYERS AND LISA IS ONE OF THEM. IN THE LAST THREE YEARS I HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH ALOT OF LAWYERS FOR ONE REASON OR AOTHER MY LIFE WAS TURN UPSIDE DOWN AND FALLING APART. I FOUND ALOT OF LAWYERS DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU OR YOUR PROBLEMS IT'S JUST A BUSINESS ...TO THEM AND LIKE ANY BUSINESS THEY JUST ARE LOOKING TO GET PAID. SO THEY TELL YOU WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR JUST TO GET YOU AS A CLIENT. WHAT THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND IS THAT THEY ARE DEALING WITH PEOPLE AND THE PEOPLE COME FIRST NOT THE BUSINESS. IF YOU CAN'T HELP ME JUST TELL ME DON'T LIE AND DO WHAT EVER JUST TO GET ME TO SIGN WITH YOU. LISA UNDERSTAND THIS AND NEVER SAID SHE WAS GOING TO DO SOMETHING AND NOT DO IT. IF SHE DID NOT KNOW FOR SURE SHE WOULD SAY SO TO ME THIS IS WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN YOU ASK SOMEONE TO DEAL WITH YOUR LIFE PROBLEMS AND ALL THAT COMES WITH THAT BECAUSE YOU NEED HELP. IF NOT YOU WOULD OF NEVER OF CALL THERE OFFICE TO BEGEN WITH. SO IF LIKE ME YOU NEED SOME HELP AND ARE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE REAL AND NOT FAKE THEN LISA IS YOUR PERSON

Avvo Rating

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.
