Child abuse lawyer | Mar 13

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Lisa is a phenomenal litigator. I would put my trust in her completely if I ever encountered the legal system in a child welfare or criminal case. Lisa fights hard for her clients and will work hard to put on the best defense for the case."

Child abuse lawyer | Jan 19

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Although I have known Lisa my entire life and we graduated from law school together, I have not worked with her until recently. I can say without a doubt that all of her accolades are well desired. She is an excellent litigator, mentor, and person. I can think of no one better to handle child abuse and sex crime cases. I highly recommend Lisa."

Appeals lawyer | Jan 31

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse Lisa. I've known Lisa since we were both law clerks for the same firm in the early 1990s. She is smart and committed both in divorce, family matters, and criminal law. I referred my own childhood best friend to her when he had a complicated family law problem. The results that she got him were better than I imagined were possible. January 21, 201"

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.
