Quality attorney

Lisa is an All-Star attorney she will fight. Tooth and nail for the best outcome in your case she stands by her work she fights hard for those that everybody else gives up on she makes you feel as though you have dignity and respect again she supports the lgbtq+ community and has her clients best int...erest at heart she tells you like it is and don't beat around the bush she goes above and beyond, defending her clients innocence or rights. I appreciate Lisa's hard work and diligent attitude and would recommend her to anybody whether it be civil rights or criminal defense she's good at what she does she tells it like it is and if you're innocent she'll fight for that and she knows what she's doing....

The Best

I can't thank Lisa Rasmussen, Jim Hoffman and all the staff at the this law office enough . They took on my case , kept me informed , treated my case as if it was as important to them as it was to me .They won the case and had it dismissed .. I am forever thankful..

Amazing Lawyer

Just amazing is the only way I describe Lisa Rasmussen. How she ever was able to get my case dismissed is beyond me. All I can say is Thank-you, Thank-you, Thank-you.

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.
