I needed to hire a new attorney since I was served with contempt of court papers due to issues not completed by my divorce attorney. I hired Lisa in May and with in 2 months she had all the loose ends tied up. She got more done in two months than my divorce attorney got done in two years. She is a no nonsense, very direct, tells you up front what to expect, up standing lawyer. I wish I had hired her to be my divorce attorney two years ago.
Lisa has represented members in my family for around 20 years, You never think you will need a lawyer and when you do , you don't know who you can trust to help. Lisa has helped us prepare our will, probate a will, a teenager in trouble, child support for a single young father and divorce. Lisa is very knowledgeable, professional, through and friendly. If you have a legal matter, you definitely want Lisa on your side!
I have represented many families both in the capacity as attorney for a husband or wife in divorce cases, but also have represented abused and neglected children in the capacity as court-appointed attorney for children, otherwise known as a guardian ad litem (g.a.l.) in both domestic relations cases and juvenile cases and sometimes in probate cases such as guardianships and adoptions. I have been a g.a.l. for 23 years and it is very rewarding work.
This is also family law. I have represented as many husbands as I have wives always attempting to advocate strongly for my client while reminding them that if they have a child involved in their divorce, they need to remember how each of their decisions will affect their child and that if it were up to the child, the child would probably not want their parents to live in separate households and to be sensitive to that fact as they make decisions throughout the divorce.
Throughout my practice I have met with many clients and helped them prepare for the future in terms of their real and personal property, whether that be in the form of a wil, trust, power of attorney, beneficiary deed etc. and I have helped loved ones deal with the death of a loved one as they attempt to navigate their way through the probate court when dealing with a person's estate when they have created a will and sometimes when they have not.
This area is also part of my probate practice. I have done extensive estate planning which usually involves creations of a Will, Living Will, Durable Power of Attorney, General Power of Attorney, Beneficiary Deed or a Trust. After creating a will for a client, I generally encourage them to advise the personal representative of their estate to contact me at the time of their death to open a probate estate or file other necessary documents to effectuate their estate planning wishes.
I have handled contested adoptions, including termination of the natural parent's parental rights and I have handled uncontested adoptions, such as step-parent adoptions where the natural parents have consented to the adoption.I have represented adopting parents. I have represented children to be adopted as guardian ad litem to ensure that their rights were protected. I have also represented natural parents that did not want their rights terminated and taken several cases up on appeal.
I have wanted for years to be able to add mediation to my repertoire and was finally able to participate in the necessary 40 hours of Mediation Training during the COVID pandemic.

Very satisfied
Hiring an attorney can be unsettling as most have no idea of the lawyer’s quality. Lisa more than surpassed my expectations . She was retained to update our wills, health care directives etc. She was patient, thorough. And presented more practical solutions to some problems, all with a professional but pleasant manner. I certainly recommend her.

Incredible Blessing!!!
Lisa handled my legal guardian and adoption of my grandchildren. At y first appt she was caring and explained all of my options available. Lisa walked me through everything that I would need to do and have. My 1st court day came so quickly but I was ever so grateful that it did. I was kept informed of meetings and also received a detailed statement every month. Whenver I called with questions or concerns Chris was ever so caring. Lisa always followed up with a call comforting me. Within about 6 months after gaining Legal Guardian my adoption went through. For any obstacle that I thought I would face she gave me assurance all the way to the end. I am forever thankful and grateful for bringing Faulstich Law into my life.

Lisa was very professional and made us very comfortable with what she was doing for us. She was very helpful and guided us through the whole process of making a will and a lot of other legal items that we needed which we did not have a clue on how to go about doing.

Lisa is the absolute best family law attorney around!!!
Lisa is absolutely amazing! She handled my divorce/child custody agreement several years ago and did a wonderful job. Going through a divorce with children involved is extremely stressful and upsetting, but Lisa made me feel 100% confident and in control of my situation. I appreciated her honesty and clear communication of what she expected throughout the court process. She never “sugar coated” anything just to make me feel better, but it was her vast knowledge of the family court system that put my mind at ease. Her courtroom demeanor was incredible as well. Even with her busy schedule she always returned calls and replied to emails quickly. The staff members at the Faulstich Law Firm are always friendly and helpful too. Lisa handled my first case so well I have hired her again as counsel in another family court dispute with my ex. When I called her about this new dispute Lisa remembered almost every detail of my original case from 4 years ago! I couldn’t believe she retained all of those details to memory! It just goes to show how important each client is to Lisa. She will always be my ONLY choice to represent me and my family in any family court matter!

Divorce Case
Lisa took a very direct, no-nonsense type of approach in my divorce case. Discussing my situation honestly, openly, and providing her with as much factual information as I could turned out to be critical in obtaining a very acceptable outcome. Lisa is a very patient and accommodating person, as well as her assistant Christine. During the three Case Management Conferences that were held, Lisa was very professional in the manner in which she presented my case, said exactly what needed to be said, and held the attention of the judge very well. The manner in which she presented herself in the three CMC’s, and the way she contested the other attorney’s arguments, I believe, were instrumental in reaching a favorable agreement prior to an already-established trial date. Lisa is a seasoned veteran in divorce cases and will provide you with the best possible outcome. Five stars in every which way.

Professionalism and Diligence
I was very impressed with the Faulstich Law Practice who handled my legal separation. Lisa Faulstich clearly explained the legal process to me and what to expect step by step. All of my questions were answered throughout the procedure. I had faith in Lisa from the beginning . I had known Lisa from when she coached my daughter’s softball team years ago. Just as she encouraged the girls with compassion and drive, she was able to encourage me with professionalism and diligence with my current life challenge. A sincere thank you to Lisa and her team ( particularly Chris) for a job well done and for treating me so kindly.

Father's Estate in Probate Court
Lisa offered to take over my father's case after the death of the lawyer I had originally hired. She went above and beyond, in my estimation, by honoring her friend in that manner. Lisa was efficient and always explained things thoroughly. She kept me informed of timetables and requirements. I would recommend Ms. Faulstich to anyone in need of an outstanding lawyer.

Lisa Faulstich Review
From start to finish through my divorce I felt that Lisa was extremely professional and had my interest at the top of her list. Divorce is not easy; Lisa's professionalism and down to earth support was much appreciated. Recently, (a couple years after divorce finalized) during a large purchase, Lisa once again assisted me in obtaining needed filings which were delinquent on other attorneys part. All is great now.
