Life Saver!

Due to time constraints before a hearing I couldn't find anyone to help me until I called Lisa Canterberry. She didn't hesitate and has a real can do attitude, even answers the phone when you call her. She got my case settled with the other side in 1 day, for much less then I offered them before hiri...ng Lisa, AND I got almost half of my retainer refunded. Hiring Lisa cost me less then if I had not hired her, and most importantly she fights for you when you don't even ask for something, she has your back. The peace of mind she gives is priceless during a time when emotions are high in a family law case.

Amazing Focus with Amazing Results. 100% Recommended.

I could not be happier with the service, professionalism, and focus toward me and my situation that Lisa Baker Canterberry provided. Her drive toward what was fair for my needs and my situation was extremely helpful. While going through one of the toughest times in my life, I counted on her to prov...ide me with the proper advice and next steps toward the entire proceedings. She never failed in this aspect. I also respected her advice and guidance, even when I chose not to follow it. Her support to work on my needs and interests were always the top priority. I am also very appreciative of Lisa always keeping me very aware of my financial standing with her firm and never once providing me with anything different than what we agreed to. This was one of the larger items that kept my stress level down as she was open and willing to discuss any legal confusion I had not understood, until I did. Lisa Canterberry comes highly recommended from me as she helped lower the severity and stress of my situation from beginning to end until my legal proceedings were complete. I ended up being very happy with her negotiations and final results. Thank you for all your amazing support, Lisa!

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 c...ommunicated 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.

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.

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!"
