My Rock

Lisa Zahn is a very caring, competent and professional family law attorney. Her patience with me during my somewhat complicated matter helped me make the best decisions in regard to everyone's best interest. I would strongly recommend Lisa to anyone facing a divorce. She is very versed in family law ...and looks for lasting resolutions that affect parents and kids alike.

BEST ATTORNEY EVER!

Lisa Zahn is the best attorney I've ever known. She recently represented my mother in a child custody case, and I truly marveled at Lisa's ability both in and out of the courtroom. Not only is Lisa a true professional, but she helped my mother through a very trying time with both expertise and comp...assion. I highly recommend Ms. Zahn. She's that one lawyer in a million that truly cares about her clients and that you can trust to do her absolute best for you. My mother and I are so very grateful that we had Lisa on our side! She is absolutely amazing.

Excellent Attorney

Lisa did a super job managing all aspects of my divorce case. She has all the characteristics you'd want in an attorney. She handled my case in an extremely fair, professional, ethical manner, keeping me informed and aware of the process throughout. If you're in search of an attorney, look no furt...her!

Calming, Professional, Informative, and Top Notch

Lisa, had such a calming nature about her as I was going through a stressful divorce. Lisa responded so quickly I felt I was her only client. I know that to not be true! I recommed Lisa for your professionalism and her absolute resolve to do what was in my best interest.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
