HAPPILY OFFERING PERSONALIZED, AGGRESSIVE REPRESENTATION IN FAMILY LAW

As a divorced parent of a teenage boy, I have experienced many of the same emotions and parenting issues as my clients. I enjoy family, our church, music, theater, sports and our pets and hope to make more time for them. I am blessed to be a part of a profession that is so fulfilling and truly enjoy my work.

Honest, Trustworthy, and Knowledgeable- Highly Recommended!

I hired Lisa as my divorce attorney and she is very knowledgeable in family law. She is very compassionate and empathetic and she really strives to meet the best interests of her clients and in my case, my child as well. She went above and beyond as far as being responsive and I appreciated her honesty and candor. I was very satisfied with the way she handled my case.

Responsive, Caring and Knowledgeable

Ms Canterberry was my attorney for a recent divorce. I was very pleased with her service. She is very responsive, caring and knowledgeable

Blown away and forever grateful!

Honestly it is quite difficult to put into words the customer service and attention Lisa provided me. Every five star review she has is spot on. From my first phone consultation she blew me away. I had sought out a lawyer for a separation/custody case of four children, where another lawyer had given me legal advice that shattered my world. A coworker of mine referred me to Lisa for a second opinion, and when I tell you the amount of disgust I could hear in her voice over the terrible legal counsel I was given previously, I knew she was the strength I need. She is knowledgeable, prepared, efficient, organized, unbelievably attentive, and available when you need her. I don't know how many emails and texts we had until the early hours of the morning or calls going over testimony and evidence. She all but physically held my hand in what must have been the most traumatic fight for my kids. I put my trust in her and I will be forever grateful for what she has given me. I cannot stress how wonderful she was to have on my side while I closed that chapter. Lisa and her team are my go-to for family law and even now for a personal injury case. I would recommend her 1000 times over.

AMAZING Attorney and a very good human being!

Lisa is a very knowledgable attorney and a very good human being. She understood my entire case and patiently listened to the points I brought up and gave good suggestions. I rarely get blown away by any attorney's kindness, but Lisa did touch my heart.

Client focused, diligent and emapthetic communicator.

I found Lisa Baker Canterberry after another attorney and his office kept dropping the ball missed meetings, failed to respond to my concerns, and typoed my name, missed deadlines. I had to seek a different attorney to take over my case, and was extremely blessed to have Lisa take over my case; she communicated extremely effectively over texts, emails and phone calls, even after hours and on weekends and holidays. Unheard of service! She scramble quickly to meet deadlines, with her clients priorities and needs at heart. She immediately identified next steps and reassured me with an action plan, answering any of my numerous questions and worked on my case after hours, staying in constant contact throughout the process. Lisa is clearly passionate about her work, and puts her clients first. Honest, fair, dependable, trustworthy, hard-working and empathetic, are just a few of her qualities, collective traits which are rare in her profession. I am truly thankful that she represented me in my case.

Professional and thorough

Lisa represented me in a child custody case. She gave me honest advice from the consultation meeting and won my trust. She was thorough, responsive, and involved throughout , and she worked diligently to get me the outcome I wanted.

Divorce Case

I used Lisa in my divorce and she was extremely helpful. She was not afraid to tell me how it was and to help steer me in the correct direction. Although there is not winning or losing in divorce, I was extremely happy with the outcome of my divorce and would recommend her to anyone looking for help.

Posted by Finnley | September 18, 2021

Highly recommend!

Lisa is very professional, transparent, and knowledgeable. She walked me through the whole divorce process and made sure I was aware of what was going on behind the scenes as well as checking in to make sure I understood everything. She is attentive and responds quickly to any questions or concerns, and is very respectful to her clients even going so far as to use their preferred name and pronouns. I highly recommend her if you need any help with a divorce or anything in her area of expertise.

My ex wife hired her

My ex wife hired her in our divorce and child custody case. They won. We lost. Lisa did a better job. They spent about $60k. I spent about $100k. If you are divorcing and if you have kids, try to sit down with your ex and settle. If you want to go to the war, it would be ugly and painful. There is no real winner. You want to save some money for the kids.

Basically a family member..

Ms. Lisa, You are amazing. Being 22 in the situation I was in, I was scared! You made every step of the way reassuring. My case never went to court actually, my childs father stop perusing. But the back & fourth lasted every bit of 4 months. She will NOT waste your money and she will NOT lie to you about the reality of your case.. I feel like I gained an extra family member. As long as she’s in this business of law I’ll never go to anyone else.

A honest, hardworking, excellent attorney

Before finding Lisa, I've made contact with other attorney's and found the conversations scripted and impersonable. Lisa, on the other hand, was compassionate and simply listened. Throughout our interaction she was responsive, provided solutions, worked around the clock, and had a draft completed for review in a days time. Our communication was consistent and she was always available. She is the definition of an exceptional lawyer. Lisa, thank you! I am very satisfied with your services and will highly recommend you to others.

Excellent

I worked with Lisa to dismiss my case in TX and move it to a different state. She did an excellent job. She is very wise and knowledgeable, gives good advice and encouragement.

Excellent representation.. helped me secure my assets

During my divorce, what I was most worried about was securing my house and other assets… She was very thorough and walked me through every step of the way… she was always available if I had a question, and having her on my side made the process less daunting.. she did an excellent job and now that I have my house paid off, I hired a real estate attorney to make sure that everything is under my name… He commented to me how the house had already been mine and that there wasn't much to do because Lisa Canterberry did such an excellent job of securing all my assets during my divorce.. All we have left to do is a bit of due diligence and to get one signature / release.. Thank you, Lisa..

A life saver!

Lisa was referred to me from another lawyer and she was a life saver. I told her the situation about my divorce and she didn't even bat an eye, she immediately started gathering information. She is an expert at what she does, has an amazing work ethic and I can not say enough good things about her. Don't get me wrong there was some tough love but she never let me down.

Best Lawyer ever to practice law

Lisa is a true diamond, she walked me through every stage of my divorce and often gave out free advice that paid off. She is brilliant at strategy and cares deeply about her client and work ethic. I would recommend her to anyone who wants the best lawyer ever.

Posted by Bianca | November 30, 2020

A wonderful lawyer and person

I hired Lisa for my divorce and child custody case, and although I did not see my divorce through due to personal reasons, hiring Lisa was the best decision I’ve ever made. Before choosing Lisa as my attorney I spoke to many different lawyers and they were all the same and I felt as though they cared more about my money then me or my children. Lisa was the complete opposite. She was unbelievably compassionate and kind to me when I was going through the toughest time of my life. Every single time I had a question or a worry she quickly assured me and explained the entire process. Every email was answered the SAME DAY. No matter what time it was Lisa was there for me and I am very grateful. Don’t make the mistake of choosing anyone other than Lisa, she will fight for you and your family.

Divorce and custody

Lisa was the first lawyer to answer my phone call and I called MANY lawyers. She continued to do so even before I made the financial decision to hire her. She truly wanted to help me, I was in a bad situation. She was honest and I actually got money back!! Thank you Lisa I have already recommend her to a friend who has hired her as well.

"I met Lisa because we worked together for a client on a family law/enforcement/jurisdictional issue. My client found her because he needed a lawyer in Texas and I practice in Hawaii. She is wonderful. She is smart, prompt, nice, and very reasonably priced. She won each of several hearings for our client. She also acted reasonably and professionally with opposing counsel, even when his conduct tested her. I would recommend her to anyone!"
