This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

A Tremendous Relief!

Ms. Budris helped me to plow into the messy files of the LAPD and discover that there was no current bench warrant for my significant other. I had tried many other attorneys and PIs over the last few years with no success. The stress of this possible warrant, along with the COVID situation and consta...nt home and online invasions was leading her close to suicide. Ms. Budris refused payment. It had appeared to me that kindness/lawyer was oxymoronic, but there are a few good and capable attorneys out there. She is definitely one!

Amazing

I was having custody issues with my ex and going through a nasty divorce. I ended up getting arrested as my ex was trying to get leverage in our case and charged with a misdemeanor dv. I immediately went to Lisa's office and I will tell you she is a blessing! Not only was she very sympathet...ic but she also took the initiative right away. The experience overall was amazing. I felt so confident with Lisa having my back due to her experience, knowledge and handling of the case. Throughout the whole case Lisa maintained great communication and was constantly updating me with everything going on. This woman saved my life. I truly recommend her. You will not be disappointed! If you're looking for someone you can trust Lisa is your best bet! Do not play with your freedom!

Lifesaver

Lisa is worth every penny, she saved my life. I've never navigated the legal system in any capacity before this month and she was patient and attentive in getting me and my family through what has been, without question, the hardest month of my life. Lisa got my felony dropped. I was looking at jail... time and a permanent record. My bail was astronomical. In the time between my arrest and arraignment, Lisa seemingly worked all hours of day and night to insure all the evidence of my case was thoroughly understood by the presiding D.A. Thanks to Lisa, I can move on with my life. If you're in a scary situation, hire Lisa. I know what it's like to feel torn between options, confused, uncertain of who to hire when it's so high stakes; hire Lisa. I'm telling you earnestly, if you want to get through this as whole as you possibly can; hire Lisa.

Highly Recommend Lisa Budris

I hired Lisa Budris after driving on a Suspended License. Lisa came highly recommended from a family friend. Lisa was responsive and took control of my case. Originally, the car was supposed to be impounded for a month and it was out in 10 days. Lisa represented me at court and saw my case threw to ...the end. Lisa was always in constant contact with me throughout the process. Lisa was honest and I will recommend Lisa to anyone that needs a lawyer.
