Very helpful

Ms. Dwyer took care of my DUI and made the process much less scary than I thought it was. She went above and beyond to make sure I did all the things necessary to get through it as well as making sure I didn't face the embarrassment of facing a local judge and peers. She explained the process so I kn...ew at all times where my case stood.

Reliable, Helpful. Gets Results.

I hired Lisa for a DUI in March of 2016. She came highly recommended from several friends that I knew. I was told, "She's the best. I (my friend) recommended her to all of my friends when they have legal trouble". My offense wasn't a light one, I was originally in for a "super-drunk" charge and wa...s worried about my future. Lisa not only got my charge reduced to an OWI (incredible, I am very lucky), but guided me in ways to make my sentencing more manageable and has been there at any time when I need her to answer ANY of my questions and concerns. She also got my community service hours cut in half and advises me on how to get some of my probation requirements lessened as I go along the process (ex. AA meetings, etc.). She is currently working on getting my license back, and I couldn't be more grateful for her time and her determination to help me. Over the past few months I've been under her guidance, we have not only developed a client-attorney relationship, but a special friendship as well. She is consistently kind and thoughtful, careful and thorough... explaining and reviewing all possible angles regarding my case (and I'm sure I've asked her to explain them many times). Unfortunately and ironically, a relative of mine got a DUI months after mine and I immediately referred him to Lisa. Lisa gave him a peace of mind that only a kick-butt attorney can give. I feel extremely lucky to have her on my side.

I have used Lisa for many cases from possession to DUI to minor traffic viilations. Very well orgnaized made me feel very comfortable walking into court with her on my side. Always was able to provide the proper knowdlege of the medical marijuana laws.

Highly recommended

Lisa Dwyer is a very sharp, determined, competent attorney. I retained Mrs. Dwyer to represent me for a drug related crime. She was there for me 100% throughout the whole process. Considering the fact that I was facing a 4 year felony, I wanted to make sure I hired the right attorney . Lisa provided ...excellent advice and worked hard to get me the best possible plea deal. Compassionate, dedicated, and professional is how I would describe Lisa. If you need a lawyer, I highly recommend you contact Lisa Dwyer.
