Lisa Baker Canterberry

I hired her for an AG Support and Custody case, and was looking to have matters put off until other issues could be sorted out. She arranged to have the matter put off until later with opposing counsel, which I was already happy with, but she saw the opportunity to have the case dismissed entirely an...d jumped on it. This outcome was desired by both myself and the petitioner in the case, so I am very pleased with this unexpected result. Should I ever need a family attorney again at any time in the future I will definitely hire her again. She is the polar opposite of the cold, clinical, and sometimes evil attorneys that most people are used to dealing with. When I had a momentary break down she hugged and comforted me. When she had opportunity to interact with my wife, she very very warm and polite, which kept things moving smoothly. She took great personal interest in my case.

When it became necessary for me to hire an attorney, like most anyone I picked up the phone and started to call around. Most of the time, a secretary answered the phone and took a message. Others always went to voicemail. I remember the first time I called Lisa, she answered on the 1st call... in... her car... after hours... on her way to picking up a family member. I expected to be hurried off the phone and started to just leave my info as a courtesy to the timing of the call. She wouldn't have any of that and immediately I was telling her some of my story and my situation. At the end of the lengthy call, she was passionately and emotionally engaged to my child's situation. There was a fundamental core understanding from that 1st call, that my situation was truly important to her and whether I ever called back or retained her, that a high-caliber individual with decades of experience had just taken her personal time to care about my child and I. This sincerity that I felt from her was followed up and validated in our 1st meeting together. She spends her time in court and the rest of the time with her family. And so it was refreshing to find an attorney who didn't need an expensive fancy front office. Just her, and a close bunch of colleagues who she called on as needed. She prefers to handle the cases and even the details of the cases herself... and not have other people hand her a document to sign before going back to their golf game. I, as a single father with limited resources was so very intimidated about how I could afford the process of filing against my ex, who had nearly unlimited funds. But, Lisa talked to me about what I could do and over what timeline... and she worked out a plan for compensation that was fair and also met my ability. And so we began. My ex hired one of the fanciest, rootin-tootin celebrity lawyers with a big staff, a bigger head and the biggest wallet that you could imagine. Well guess what, my experienced, organized, strategic, prepared, scrappy, self-managed attorney stopped the Rolls Royce snob in its tracks in our 1st hearing. And that continued all the way to the finish line, when my child and I were given the full rights and togetherness that we both desired. Everything was worked out to my satisfaction and my case is now finished and over. If you need an attorney who is beyond capable, thinks both aggressively and strategically, cares about you personally, works creatively to customize your needs and means, is an absolute bulldog in the courtroom, won't nickel and dime you to death in your communications and preparations, takes your calls and emails seemingly 24/7 and responds sometimes within minutes, and puts your case 10,000% to importance to in her profession... please call Lisa and learn what I did... that there is a lawyer out there that cares. A lawyer that doesn't put $ first. A lawyer that is honest and sincere. A lawyer that is both passionate and compassionate. A lawyer that is hands on. A lawyer that is so far above and beyond that she transcends her profession and is that rare specimen that you would think you would never find. In an industry that is known for its cliche expectations, she is anything but. Call, meet with, and hire Lisa! And, Lisa, from the bottom of my heart, my child's heart and my family's heart, Thank You.

Lisa was very helpful and knowledgeable in helping me with my case. I had complete trust in her and never doubted that she was doing everything in my best interest. I was glad to have someone handle this legal issue for me and reduce my stress about the situation. Lisa is a great communicator and he...r professional integrity helped me feel safe and protected during this family legal matter.

Ms. Canterberry helped me with a retroactive child support/family case. I looked around at many different lawyers and some just didn't seem to knowledgeable about the situation. I was directed towards retaining Lisa and after reading her reviews and speaking to her I was sold. She helped me feel so c...omfortable in the steps and was so patient and kind. I was so nervous but after speaking with Lisa she always made me feel so much better and when the day of the hearing came she blew it away. Everything went smoothly and she handled it so gracefully. She was so sharp and quick to respond to any questions and I could feel her taking care of myself and my wishes and hopes...It was great! I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer and I would recommend her to anyone who is in need of a family lawyer. She truly cares and works really hard for you and your case outcome.
