This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Worthless

She was neither consultated with nor hired, unless you consider court appointed a hire. She might be good if she is hired for pay but as a court appointed attorney, you’re better off to go alone.

Smart. Compassionate. Effective. The Best.

I was stalked by a man with a complicated criminal background. He was no one I knew. He found me on the internet. Lisa was my island in a sea of uncertainty and stress. She was level-headed, thorough and extremely competent. I felt reassured and calmed by Lisa’s handling of my case. I would hir...e her gain in a minute. She was attentive, responsive and compassionate.

Reliable and Hard-working Attorney

We had a very unusual civil case where we needed a lawyer last minute. We were advised to hire an attorney skilled in unique circumstances and Lisa Tome fit the bill. We met with her a few times (with a very short window prior to the case) and she was responsive and professional at all times. She too...k the time to understand the minute details of our case and came prepared to the hearing. She had great followup and although I never wish to be in the same circumstance again, I would highly recommend her.

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.
