If you want a Boss Lady to represent you...

Divorce does not run in my family, no one in my sphere is divorced so having to go through this process left me lost, unsure of where to begin or what to expect. I wanted to walk away without any reprimands towards my ex, because I was at a time of weakness, I didn't know better. Lisa advocated for m...e from the beginning. To me, I didn't feel like just a client which is something that is truly valued. She's is knowledgeable, proactive, and won't take you for your money but provides top notch service. Everything she does is truly for the best interest for who she represents. AND it's reassuring when she's able to put the opposing counsel in their place because she is better prepared and won't let them fabricate or speak without legal facts. In conclusion, God forbid you find yourself in a situation where you're undergoing a divorce, having a Boss Lady represent you will give you the best shot at getting what you want and deserve, I would recommend Lisa time and time again.

Paternity action

Lisa is a smart and graceful lawyer. I met her during a very emotional time, after meeting with four other lawyers to help me deal with a paternity action and another (unfortunate) action. I was a mess when I got served for was an emergency hearing (completely unexpected). I was unprepared and anxio...us. In 48 hours, Lisa managed to prepare a solid argument, and a very eloquent declaration. Lisa knows the law. She does her homework, and she is smart. VERY SMART. Unlike other lawyers, she wasn't trying to do unnecessary stuff (and hence charge me thousands of dollars). She reminded me of what my goal was the whole time, and reminded me that I should not seek "an eye for an eye." I also felt that Lisa listened to what I wanted. I liked that she did not try to sweet talk me when I met her. She was polite, and contacted me with a few cases afterwards so I get a sense of the logic behind the law. After that, I decided to sign the retainment agreement. I think it was one of the best decisions I made. Thank you, Lisa, for helping me keep my little family together and for helping me bringing peace into my home again!

Tireless Work Ethic, Thoughtful, Genius-level Knowledge of the Law

I am thrilled to offer my highest recommendation for Ms. Lisa McCall, the family attorney who represented me in a high-conflict custody and divorce battle. Ms McCall took over my case two and a half years after I escaped from an emotionally and verbally abusive marriage. The attorney who initially re...presented me was forced to take an emergency medical-leave. The transition was seamless and Ms. McCall breathed fresh air into my case which renewed my much-needed energy and conviction. Her genius-level knowledge of the law is unprecedented and her ability to articulate it in an unthreatening manner will blow you away! The deserved respect and acknowledgement she receives from the many professionals in law enforcement and in the legal industry is widespread and common. It never failed that when I discussed who my attorney was or if I was with her at the courthouse, I was flooded with reassurances (even admiration - as if I had something to do with her abilities!?) of sincere, high praise for Ms. McCall. These words of confidence came from bailiffs, other attorneys (even those who served as opposing counsel in a few of her active cases), several mental health professionals, and even two judges (not those hearing my own case). But I’m writing this based on my own personal experience and interaction with Ms. McCall and her legal staff, not on hearsay or others’ recommendations. Her tireless work ethic and thoroughness gave me the peace I needed to live my everyday life, to tend to my responsibilities as a newly single mother and career professional, and put the details and burden of my case in her hands without the constant nagging worry someone has during this tumultuous experience of divorce and custody litigation. Unlike my first attorney, I never needed to ask myself, “Am I doing enough? Is my attorney working for me? Does she have my children’s best interest in mind? Is she fighting for me? Does she believe in me?” I knew without a doubt the answer was, “Yes, of course, Jami.” Strategic delays, human-calendar-errors, lack-of-preparation, and pure laziness BY OPPOSING COUNSEL, as well as judge-reassignments resulted in several postponed and continued hearings/trials. There was not one thing Ms. McCall could have done to avoid these, and with each disappointment, she became even more steadfast in reaching a just outcome. Ms. McCall and her legal staff are diamonds in a field of dirt, coal, and grime and I am so incredibly blessed for her representation. She is thoughtful, caring, realistic, and the most intelligent and knowledgeable attorney you will find out there. She has the wisdom of a seasoned veteran approaching retirement and the attitude and energy of a newly-hired associate fresh out of law school. I will continue to sing her praises and recommend Ms. McCall and her firm to anyone seeking family law representation. I declare under penalty and perjury that the above is true and correct.

She actually seems to care:)

I had been through a divorce before and honestly, my general opinion of family law lawyers was not positive... Lisa is an exception. Having moved to Ca from out of state, with no kids and only 3 years of what I thought was a happy marriage, my divorce came as a total shock. When I realized my wif...e already had an attorney and was setting me up, I needed to hire an attorney. So I searched out and hired the best one I could find. Lisa worked for the firm I hired and handled my entire case... my X seemed to have a goal that consisted of trying to run me out of money which, made it a needlessly long and difficult case. Lisa always seemed genuinely concerned with how to keep the cost down as much as possible, and always seemed to look out for my best interests. My case went on for over a year but was eventually, successfully mediated. In the begining I had tried on my own to settle out of court, but with Lisa's help, a settlement better than what I had originally wanted was reached. I am happy with and thankful for her representation , she changed my opinion of lawyers and I would recommend her to anyone facing a divorce.

Posted by Joseph | September 12, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Alimony

Excellent and competent legal expert

I hired Lisa after my ex wife decided to take me back to court for additional alimony as the end of child support was near. My previous lawyer (as she noted through substantial research) missed several items that should have been addressed in the original proceedings. She was well prepared for trial ...and did very well with communicating to the judge and court room staff, they all genuinely liked her. Her preparedness and cross examination was excellent and has left my case in a positive disposition should there be further legal action. I will also mention that her legal staff is top notch, responsive and professional.
