Invaluable

“I had an excellent experience working with Lisa Dwyer. From the very beginning, Ms. Dwyer were highly professional, approachable, and knowledgeable. She took the time to fully understand my case, answered all my questions, and provided clear guidance throughout the process. I felt supported every ...step of the way, and their expertise truly made a difference in achieving a favorable outcome. I highly recommend Lisa Dwyer to anyone in need of legal representation. She is dedicated, responsive, and genuinely care about her clients’ success.”

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.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
