Practice Areas

Family 40%

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.

38 years | 2,000 cases

40%

Divorce and Separation 25%

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.

25%

Probate 15%

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.

38 years | 200 cases

15%

Wills and Living Wills 10%

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.

38 years | 100 cases

10%

Adoption 9%

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.

38 years | 50 cases

Mediation 1%

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.

Probate Estate

Lisa was very professional in my dealings with her and informative. From the beginning to the end of my probate case she was thorough and supportive. She communicates and always provides you with all details. I highly recommend her.

Lisa went above and beyond helping my with a living trust will after my wife was killed. We had not planned for anything to take care of our kids upon our deaths so she guided me thru the process. She looks at every detail and helps you understand what is needed.

Posted by Jeri | June 16, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Guardianship

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 informe...d 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.

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.
