Lissa Bernardo-Lising

Lissa was not at all what I expected. She's a short lady but she is eloquent and forceful in court. She's larger than life and when she did my trial and me and my whole family - we were so impressed. She knows immigration law inside out. Like we had no idea she was THAT good. She never let the judge ...or the attorneys from the other side bully her - she always pushed back hard. And during my trial, while the Homeland Security attorney kept going through his file to look for something, Lissa knew what page he was talking about and told him exactly where to find it. She made him look like a fool (but she didn't mean to, he just wasn't prepared like she was). Lissa is super nice and understanding, she let us pay her in installments. She put my whole family at ease (she even knows the names of all my kids! What lawyer takes time to know a guys family?) I will say though: Lissa doesn't do a lot of hand-holding, which is fair. I paid her to take my case and make sure I didn't get deported, so why should she spend time on the phone listening to my wife cry, so I get it. She always kept us in the loop via email or through her assistant. I'd been here in America all of my life and it was scary to be put in removal proceedings, but honestly, knowing that Lissa had my back made me feel like a man again. I have recommended her to all my relatives who need help, and I am so grateful to God I heard about her. Lissa literally saved me.

After my last lawyer messed up big time I almost got deported. I hid but ICE found me and put me back in Adelanto. We heard about Lissa from the other guys in there, so we got the cash together, and even if it wasn't enough, she took me on. She got the case reopened, and the judge granted me asylum e...ven with my drug convictions! I couldn't believe how lucky I was. She was mad at me because I lied to her a couple times, but were cool now. My mom kept bugging her on the phone and she didn't like that but she was always polite, always returned her calls. She probably should charge more money, she does great work. And she said I get my green card in a year! I'd recommend Lissa to anyone, not just because I won, but because she treats you like a decent human being. I know a bunch of attorneys who just have dollar signs in there eyes. The one thing I didn't like about Lissa is that she can get real impatient real fast if you lie to her, and she rolls her eyes at you. My fault, I know, but when I get scared I lie sometimes.

So grateful for Esperanza, thats where we found Lisa. Ella es un angel. Very businesslike. we not sure at first but in court, she fight hard for my son. I was so impressed. The judges in Adelanto like her a lot, she has good reputation. Polite pero she not back down to anyone, she dont care. Very h...onest. I refer my friends to her. Gracias, Señora Lising!
