Attorney Review

The process of a divorce and custody proceedings can take a financial and emotional toll. Lisa Stone and her staff are cognizant of the process and knowledgeable that it is a journey and not just a legal matter. They have always exhibited empathy and recognize the importance of this psychologic...al event. Financially Lisa Stone has always been honest about the economic aspects of all legal decisions. I have never felt over the past 10 years that she has ever been more interested in her financial benefit than her clients. She knows which legal matters can be won and which will probably be lost and therefore should not be pursued. Her firm is not interested in continual conflict which is not economically helpful or beneficial for co-parenting. Every great attorney is supported by a talented staff. Terrie Spangler, paralegal, has worked for Lisa for at least 10 years. Terrie consistently creates sophisticated letters and documents. She has always been willing to revise and review as needed with Lisa's oversight. It is symbolic for a business to have such long term talented staff. In closing Lisa Stone has been a tremendous professional. It is inconceivable that there is a more talented Family Law Attorney in Phoenix. My reasoning is based on her knowledge of the law, capacity to minimize legal costs when able and the expertise to recognized the psychological aspects of the process.

Outstanding Counsel

Lisa was my attorney during my divorce. She showed a mix of compassion and pragmatism that I appreciated very much. Great communication and management of my whole case. I highly recommend her.

Excellent divorce attorney

I was absolutely pleased with the professional, thorough and personalized service Lisa and her staff provided throughout my entire divorce process. She was always readily available and responsive to my questions, provided focused and sound advice, and all of her suggestions ended up being right on ta...rget. I ended up with essentially what I had sought originally at the beginning of the process. I would unhesitatingly recommend Lisa to anyone forced to go through a similar ordeal.

My Attorney

She was great, very intelligent and experienced at what she did and got the job done. I really don't know now how better to compliment and recommend her.

She's the BEST!

I can not say enough Great things about Lisa and what she did for me & my son. When looking for a lawyer you are at a very low place. You want someone to understand your feelings, your fears, your concerns, your situation and well, you. Lisa was that for me! She helped me modify my custody and years ...later helped me collect on unpaid medical & child support. If it wasn't for Lisa I wouldn't have been able to be the mother that I am and my son wouldn't be the person is has become today!

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.

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.
