Do not use her if you have children.

Lisa is very poor at returning calls or emails. She has none nothing to help my custody case. My child threatened suicide and it too 4 weeks to even get a reply. I supplied everything for my case and she wasn't willing to listen to me and do what I asked of her. IF she ever replied it was not in ...my favor. Don't waste your $5,000 on her representing you because she will not be available to help. I could not be more disappointed in her "representation" she did not give.

Aloof and unorganized in my experience

In my time working with Lisa she was unorganized and either asked for the same things more than once, did not show up with all documentation for things like mediation, and was not as responsive as I had hoped. Lisa did not provide timely follow up without being pushed to do so. Lisa sold herself to m...e as a fighter, but when things began to unfold seemed to me to be pushing me toward settling. Often times the information she would give me would conflict with information she had given me previously and when I would ask to get a better understanding Lisa seemed to get upset that I was questioning her on nearly any topic. I would not recommend.

Excellent Lawyer

Ms. Tomlinson was very professional, on time with appointments, emails and paper work. Her advanced knowledge of the laws were very comforting and assisted in quick outcomes. Ms. Tomlinson was always willing to go the extra mile to make sure I understood where we were in the legal process.

Posted by Jon | May 17, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation
