No one better!

Lisa's superior intelligence, extensive experience in elder law, and perseverance are just a few characteristics that make her a superior lawyer. Immediately upon hiring/meeting her I felt an instant trust. She was professional yet real and her level of communication was perfect. Her strong abilit...y to lead, analyze and anticipate kept my expectations in line throughout the entire process. She made certain we were in sync throughout every step of the case which was exactly what I was looking for in a partner. Lisa invests a lot in her clients and is equipped with an impeccable support staff. Based on her devoted efforts, permanent guardianship was granted to me over my incapacitated mother. There is no one better in my opinion and rescuing my mom with her by my side, is a moment I will never forget.

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.
