Compassionate and Professional

I knew as soon as I spoke with Lisa that she had the kindness, compassion and professionalism that I needed to represent me in my divorce this past summer. She helped ensure that I was able to keep necessary distance between my ex-husband and me. With her knowledge and guidance, a potentially volatil...e situation progressed more swiftly and smoothly than I thought possible. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to my friends or family.

Kind and Knowledgable Lawyer

Lisa was extremely capable and knowledgeable while working through the details to get custody sorted out with my father’s son. She helped a very stressful situation become one that was manageable, and made sure the custody order had provisions for me to ensure my son’s safety. I really appreciate all... the work Lisa did and would highly recommend using her for your legal needs.

Lisa Canterberry is the best there is.

I cannot recommend Lisa Canterberry enough. She is the calm in the storm of family court. In all of our hearings, she was more than prepared (ready for anything!), made sure anyone testifying was well-prepared, and thought on her feet in court when needed. She communicates clearly and often, conducts... herself ethically, and is quick to return calls when something comes up. If you’ve been in family court before, you know how important that last piece is.

A Tenacious and Trustworthy Divorce Attorney

Going through a divorce is never easy, but having the right attorney makes all the difference. Lisa Canterberry is an exceptional divorce attorney who will bring expertise, honesty, and dedication. She is thorough in her approach, ensuring that every detail is accounted for while maintaining a realis...tic perspective on potential outcomes. My divorce was a long and grueling process that lasted over two years (no fault of Lisa) but because my ex continually delayed proceedings. Despite the challenges, Lisa remained patient, persistent, and strategic in handling every obstacle. While we didn’t always agree on every decision, I eventually learned to trust her expertise completely. She doesn’t sugarcoat the situation or tell you what you want to hear; she tells you the truth, even when it’s difficult to hear. This level of honesty is invaluable because it allows you to make informed decisions that truly serve your best interests in the long run. Lisa is not just a lawyer who fights for you, she’s one who fights smart. She understands the legal system inside and out and knows when to push forward aggressively and when to negotiate. Her ability to assess situations with clarity and provide solid legal advice is what sets her apart. Divorce is never an easy road, it’s often emotionally and financially draining. Lisa understands this and works tirelessly to ensure her clients get the best possible outcome. While I hope I never have to go through this process again, I know that if I ever need legal representation, she will be my first call. If you’re looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and straightforward divorce attorney, I highly recommend Lisa Canterberry.

A Wise Choice

Lisa can to mu through a friends refferal where I had little time to react and had to put my trust in her and my faith in the referal. She took on my divorce case, got up to speed quickly on what I needed and what needed to be done. We went through a case that was WAY out of the norm. She experienc...ed some stuff she had never dealt with in her career per her. Regardless she maintained her composure kept pushing through and got the case finished and close while meeting my requests. I again hired Lisa a few years later for custody. We were able to work together quickly through phone text and email alon to get this one done as well. She is knowledgeable, fast to reply, keeps you informed and is not going to sugar coat it and waste time. Exactly what I needed each time we have worked together. Thanks Lisa! CKL

"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!"
