There is not a better Lawyer on earth!

I was looking for a lawyer for a case where I already had my rights to see my daughter but my ex was not allowing me to see her. I was praying for a good attorney and at Church someone me “trust me you want to hire this lady” I called her and retained her. She was ready for everything, got all my bac...k child support wiped away and best of all I got to see my daughter again. My ex doesn’t even think about withholding anymore thanks to Lisa. She is a very rare lawyer and someone who always listens. Plus talk about a warrior on the court room. If there is a single mistake she will find it and use it for your advantage. She even prayed with me. Completely honest and won’t break the rules. When I tell you she’s the best, I mean she is the BEST!!!! Thank you Lisa for everything

Great attorney!!! (Read the other reviews as well)

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.

Knowledgeable, Kind, Trustworthy, Simply the best

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.

Best Experience

I was referred to Lisa Canterberry from a friend. I needed to make a modification to an existing child support arrearage and the non-custodial parent (my former husband) is an attorney. Without Lisa Canterberry's services and knowledge, I was feeling vulnerable. My former husband was trying to ge...t me to agree to deduct all interest over the past and give additional credit. As soon as Lisa was on my case, she took charge and didn't ignite any additional and/or unnecessary conflict between me and my former husband. She did what was right on my case and it was quick, simple, and very fair in fees. No surprise charges. She just got the job done and I am so very grateful. My former husband was equally impressed, as he was representing himself and felt she did a great job. (It's not often that he and I agree on things) I'm looking forward to working with her next month on my family's will.

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!!!!!!!

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!"
