Absolutely amazing!!!’

My brother was in jail on a violation of probation and had been sitting with no release in sight.. i called lisa on a Thursday afternoon and explained to her what exactly happened and what i needed… his court date was the next Tuesday so 5 days away and she handled everything before the court date and he came home with the best possible outcome… she is absolutely amazing and if you go with anyone else your making a mistake…. I will refer her to anyone that needs help and wants someone honest who is on your side… cannot thank her enough… she turned and ugly situation upside down..

Lisa did everything to save me. I had so many tickets all the other lawyers told me i had to go to jail. Even the one i hired before Lisa didn’t show up at the court. I got my drivers license just because of her. I still recommend her to all my friends. I appreciate what she did for me! The best in town by far.

I hired Ms.Lisa twice before because she’s that good & I can trust her, she’s very honest & straight forward I wouldn’t choose any other lawyer to defend me! Thanks for helping me prove my innocence, life is back to normal!

Amazing attorney

Lisa is one of the best attorneys I have had. First, she always put the interests of her clients first before anything else. She is also very good at explaining to you how the process works and what is the likely outcome. She is also one of the best due to her relationships with the opposing side as well. If you want an attorney who will fight hard for you every minute of the day and is always able to be reached. Lisa is the best person you could hire.

Terrific attorney. I was definitely looking at some serious trouble ahead of me. Lisa saved my freedom and also my residency being that I am not a citizen. Her outstanding work will forever resonate with me and my family and I have and will continue to refer any one in need of criminal defense to her. Very grateful to have been introduced to Lisa McLean.

Lisa McLean helped change my life

With Lisa representing me, I knew that I was in good hands. From the moment I met her, she listened to me, had faith in me, and believed what I said. She knew right from the beginning that my case was very misunderstood by law enforcement. She knew that I was struggling with mental illness and I needed help. She was able to guide me and my family through the process to make sure I received the help I needed. She did all of this at an extremely affordable rate. She is experienced, caring, and helpful. I would refer my closest friends and family for her defense if they needed it.
