Lisa B. Forberg is a skilled attorney, focused on using the best out-of-court alternatives to the traditional litigated divorce process. She helps her client achieve their goals without the "unholy nightmare" of litigation, while preserving their assets and protecting their privacy.
Attorney Forberg has represented hundreds of divorce clients. She has seen firsthand the financial and emotional devastation caused by the adversarial divorce process, which pits one party against the other.
Even if you and your soon-to-be ex-spouse are not speaking, and do not agree on much of anything, you can still get divorced without all the extra costs and dangers that a litigated divorce presents.
Lisa offers consultations via phone or video to help people think about their best options on how to reach a favorable divorce settlement for their unique circumstances.

I have had the great fortune and pleasure to have been involved in several cases with Attorney Forberg. I consider her one of the top family law practitioners in the State of New Hampshire, who possesses a high degree of integrity and ethical standards. Attorney Forberg is intelligent, thoughtful and well-reasoned, qualities which are critical in the practice of law. I have had the pleasure of participating in many settlement conferences with Attorney Forberg. In my experience, Attorney Forberg has the proven skills to foster a resolution in family law cases, especially in cases which involve significant conflict and high emotion. Attorney Forberg has the ability in these circumstances to assist the parties in looking past the emotional turmoil in their situation and to facilitate an amicable resolution to the issues. In cases where settlement is not possible, I have found Attorney Forberg to be an effective and zealous advocate for her client.
