Its important you give your best in providing whatever kind of documentation to your lawyer that way there job is easier.

She is very awesome! She keeps you on track when we are discussing business and she is straightforward with you. She tells you how it is. She doesn’t sugarcoat anything! She works really hard for you!

Great Legal Services

It was such a pleasure working with Lisa and Russell. They were very attentive, listened to my requests and concerns, and were very professional. They were also very responsive and completed my legal services in a timely manner. Great experience overall!

Unprofessional , biased and ready to throw you under the bus

She doesn’t seem to understand the needs of her clients and seems Intimidated and judgmental by what allegations opposing counsel make on her clients . She questions me in a judgmental way on allegations leveled by opposing counsel and quotes ethics as a reason to withdrawal from counsel . It almost... felt like defending myself to my own lawyer and literally had to explain myself to her about the false accusations. Terrible service for 400$/hr .

Fired!

I fired Lisa as my attorney in my divorce. I do not believe she has the experience or personality to be an effective divorce attorney. I realized during the discovery phase that she simply was not aggressive enough with opposing counsel. After losing confidence in her, I hired an aggressive attorney ...to finish my divorce which finally settled at ADR. My petition even had to be amended because of her negligence. Now that my divorce is final, I am glad that I found a better attorney that helped me get the best settlement possible. Even if your case seems straightforward, just remember that no one knows how the opposing party/counsel will respond after you file for divorce. Best of luck in finding a better attorney!

Choose another attorney

Not only was Lisa intimidated by the court room setting, the judge, and the defendant… We learned that she even filed the wrong papers and sent the other party the wrong information. She’s a little too green to be practicing law and doesn’t have the experience when a client really needs it. With as... much money as she charges and the fact that it directly impacts a family and children, I would encourage you to go somewhere else.
