Beware

I spoke with Lisa for 12min while on a break at work. Dad and I had same routine for 13yrs. Dad is prejudice and my fiancé is African American, I’m now considered a N lover and dad since hired an attorney. This is what dad does his entire life hires attorneys when he is mad or to get out of trouble, ...he has 3 DWI’s. My fiancé is a substitute teacher and supervisor at a very large company. Dad does not work has an unsafe home. No bathroom sink, showers don’t work, a junk yard, literally. Dad never enrolled any of our kids in school or sports. Never showed up at school or sporting events. Well after a 12min talk with Lisa she decided I sleep by my fiancé every night, he lives 18hrs away for the last 2yrs. I never missed a day of work in 2yrs so u tell me how that’s possible. Dad convinced our son he’d get the child support money. Well since I’ve seen my son dressed poorly, enrolled himself in school, was not at dads all summer long, out running around with friends. Been in trouble that normally he wouldn’t have. Called me several times to pick him up cause dad didn’t show up, has no friends sleep over, well he’s embarrassed of the “house”. Lisa herself said my son was influenced by dad. Well why let a drunk and a 13yr old convince her it’s ok for dad to have custody when I clearly had all evidence that dad never enrolled in school, sports, took shopping and drank a ton all day and night. I’m sitting watching my son suffer. I told everyone I did not have money to fight but figured I had all this evidence why it would not be good for our son. Physical proof. Thus is so so so sad. Heartbreaking. From a 12min conversation are u kidding me. Even if my fiancé was in this state i was home and never missed a beat with my kids. Not a beat. Horrible that it’s about money and letting a 13yr old convince you cause dad pressured him. Well my son I can promise is now regretting this just like I told the courts he would. Now what? I can’t hire an attorney??? My son now suffers. What a shame do not I repeat do not let Lisa represent your child. She put mine in an unsafe and horrible situation. Heartbroken!

Very Bad Laywer and Parent Coordinator

She does not have any intrest in finding the facts. If you get her as a Parent Coordinator as a male you will loose every desion and she will not even care. just threating you to make you pay for it all.

Would give a 0 if I could

Stay away from this lady. If you’re appointed her ask for someone else. She is the absolute worst! Doesn’t ever respond to you. Doesn’t look out for best interest of your child what so ever! Doesn’t even do her own investigations relies on others and then goes off their opinions of the matter. I mean... I could go on and on. She will basically destroy families. BEWARE!!!!
