Criminal defense lawyer | Mar 11

Relationship: Other

"I endorse this lawyer. I was very impressed by her work on a case of a mutual client. She went above and beyond what many attorneys would do to prove his innocence and later assist him in documenting that the charges were not supported by evidence so that they would not affect him in other legal matters."

Criminal defense lawyer | Jul 27

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. As a criminal defense and immigration attorney, I have had the privilege of working with Lisa DewBerry for time to time over the course of 30 years. As a public defender, Lisa was dedicated to representing the underprivileged in our society and defending those individuals who could not afford to pay for private retained counsel. Lisa defined what public advocacy was all about. Now in private practice, Lisa is a highly skilled and successful criminal defense attorney. She is a zealous advocate who has developed a keen understanding of the complexities and nuances of criminal law and procedure over the 30 years or so that she has practiced. She is held in the highest regard among attorneys in our local legal community."

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.
