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.
