Excellent Legal Guidance During a Difficult Time

Lisa helped me through one of the hardest times of my life. My case was complex and involved many different factors, but she guided me through the process with professionalism, knowledge, and care. She helped me reach an outcome I could have never imagined, and I am truly grateful for her and the med...iation team. I highly recommend her to anyone needing strong legal guidance and representation.

My first ever lawyer

Lisa is one of the most caring lawyer i've met, she helped me fight in my case and got results that I needed in my case. She puts her foot down and handles business and is always there to help.

Flawless

I didn’t realize how smoothly everything had gone in my custody case until I had another custody case in a different state with a different lawyer. Lisa took my first case almost 5 years ago and the communication with her was quick. She made zero mistakes. Everything was done in like 2 weeks. I didn’...t leave a review then cause it was an agreed case, I expected everything to go smoothly. I expected everything to be done quickly. Fast forward 5 years and I have my second agreed upon custody case, where me and the mother agreed on everything. But my lawyer this time had everything wrong. Names. Birthdays. Everything. We corrected tons of the info. I actually corrected him through text on all of it and he still managed to spell the moms husbands name wrong, which resulted in delays getting me on the birth certificate. While making that correction he accidentally took out the paragraph where it said my daughter would take my name. My daughter is now old enough to know her name and speak and we’re still battling the lawyer to correct it. I’m filing a bar complaint currently. So although I didn’t have to go to battle with Lisa as my lawyer, she did handle my case so flawlessly and I never had to worry about correcting her work. And probably set the expectations too high for my next lawyer.

Life Saver

Lisa had represented 4 previous family members and won each case, my dad told me about her and after having 6 consultations, I was glad I chose Lisa. Situations involving, divorce, potential custody battles are very scary but Lisa made the process so much easier. She talked with me as if I were her f...amily member, I was able to contact her anytime I needed. She saved me over 33k with retroactive payments and I’m very grateful. I usually don’t post reviews but I’d love to help someone feel the relief and comfort I did in such difficult times.

Although I did not hire this attorney, her information helped me initiate the DIY process. I am grateful for her response and hope everything works out in my troubling situation.
