A difficult thing made easier

I had never expected to divorce, I had been with my ex-husband for 25 years and was looking forward to retiring together some day. When I finally made the agonizing decision to move forward with my life alone, Lisa not only explained the divorce process to me in clear language but walked me through ...exactly what I needed to do. It was all the more daunting due to my being frightened that my ex would talk me out of seeking alimony and child support as I had a hard time standing up to him in our relationship. And indeed he did everything he could to block finalizing the divorce at all. Thanks to Lisa, I was able to get the process completed and start my new life with a settlement that allowed me to keep my life style and help support my children through college. She even got me a court-ordered repayment of the extra fees caused by my ex's stonewalling! Five years later, the settlement is complete and my ex paid every penny despite trying to renegotiate several times. Lisa was there to help every time he tried - I feel really good that I was able to get over his influence on my life and he wasn't able to shirk his legal responsibilities to me.

Solid, specific, and supportive

Accessible and straightforward, Lisa performed significant research and provided invaluable guidance as we reviewed and revised my now-husband's lawyer's prenup drafts. Would work with her again in a heartbeat.

knowledgeable, responsive, caring attorney

Lisa helped me work through a very messy divorce situation with kids, and a hostile ex and opposing attorney. Her advice was invaluable.
