She cost me the best job I’ve ever had.

Same as the last two people posted. I hired and paid her back in 2019. Not only has she stopped answering my messages, and failed to go to court; I lost a job because of her. My case is still pending, but I haven’t been able to get hold of her for many years.

Client

She was defending us in a civil lawsuit, we were paying her, and then she stopped answering emails, texts, the phone, etc. Just went dark. Just dropped us. We lost our case. We wanted to sue her, but were told IL does not require attorneys to get malpractice insurance and it would be a waste of o...ur time and money. If you hire her, demand she show you a policy.

Lisa's Non-Reply to Judge in my case got my case dismissed

Lisa Stauff was my attorney for many years so I know her well. She was consistently very difficult to communicate with, sometimes taking a few months to get back to me about my case. But the worst is that after paying her thousands of dollars over the years, she failed to reply to the court on a ...motion to dismiss my case. The Judge gave Lisa multiple chances to file a reply but she failed to do so. The Judge had no choice but to dismiss my case. On top of that, Lisa has not even communicated the dismissal of my case to me. I had to write the Judge to find out the status of my case and its been two years.

Awesome and knowledgeable attorney

Lisa was very responsive to my request and my need for her services. Her professionalism and knowledge regarding employment law is awesome. I am glad that I chose her and I will refer her to any of my colleagues who may need her.

Down-to-earth and friendly

Lisa has answered questions for me in a concise, friendly, and easy-to-understand manner. She seems very personable, and she clearly cares about human/workers rights.

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.
