Fabulous

She trounced the ex in my son's divorce and again in his child custody battle. Both times, we won overwhelmingly. I cannot say enough good things about her as a lawyer and as a human being. She is patient and understanding even when we weren't. I would highly recommend her.

Hands Down THE BEST ATTORNEY I HAVE EVER KNOWN!

As a single mother with two boys, one who is currently 3 and Autistic, I must admit I thought I would EVER find an attorney that can help me. I was referred to Lisa Canterberry by another client and friend....and the SECOND I SPOKE TO HER OVER THE PHONE I KNEW I FOUND MY SHARK. During the course o...f the whole custody/child support/visitation case, Lisa was COMPASSIONATE, KNOWLEDGEABLE AND FAIR BEYOND BELIEF! Cases that pertain to children with special needs can be very complicated and emotionally draining, and during the entire process all I felt was PEACE. I was constantly informed on everything and never once had to worry. That is HUGE! Unlike some other attorneys, she was extremely fair with her billing. I didn't feel like I was being nickel and dimed for every minute. On the contrary, she has worked with me and still continues to do so! In the courtroom: A SHARK!!!! On point, aggressive and fights with passion for what's most important THE CHILDREN affected in the middle. I can tell you this, if you are ever searching for an attorney who will not only fight for you and FIGHT HARD, but also make you feel like a person and guide you, and make you feel at peace, THIS IS THE ATTORNEY TO HIRE! I will Never use another attorney again!!!! Thank you Lisa for being such a fantastic, genuine, caring and kick butt attorney!!!!!!!

Incredible

I used this service and Lisa called me within minutes and on the spot she knew what to do and how to go about doing things with my case. I hired her over the phone and she went right to work on my case and is meeting me at the courthouse 1st thing in the morning to file paperwork. Lifelong Client...

Don't Think Twice

It's wonderful to have a professional help you through troubling times. Lisa was responsive to all of the many questions that I had. She communicated to me what was happening with my case in a timely manner. What started out as an easy case was complicated by the other side which Lisa provided sugg...estions to move the case along to its' inevitable conclusion with both sides getting a just settlement. Thank you Lisa.

A true friend in an unfriendly matter

Divorce is never a nice process to go through and it can be even more so when you try to go it alone. I hired Lisa to help me out with a very difficult divorce process that I had been going through alone for a few months to help fight for my rights with my child. She was able to ensure my joint custo...dy with my son and fought to have equal rights between both myself and my ex. She was super helpful and a constant professional throughout the entire process very fair in her billing. I do not know how I would have got through the process without her help and I owe her a debt of gratitude for ensuring that my son will be a big part of my life. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone who has to go through the divorce process.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"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!"
