Quality service

Lisa is a very knowledgeable attorney with many years experience. She worked with me even though my ex husband did everything in his power to draw out the divorce procedure as long as he could to avoid child support. She hung with me even when I was ready to give up. Her paralegal Cheryl is amazing a...s well. Cheryl is not only a great cheer leader but she also has many years experience. Cheryl kept me informed at all times, answered all my questions, and if she didn't have the answer, she found out the answer quickly. I highly recommend these fine ladies. They are a great team and worth every penny!

Hire Lisa Heller

I highly recommend Lisa Heller for a divorce attorney. I hired Lisa as my divorce attorney, she was very professional, and the divorce was handle in a timely manner, it took about 8 month from start to finish. When I hired Lisa, she gave me a list of items she wants copies called discovery papers a...nd Lisa made sure I have plenty of time to get those turned in. During the 8 month, Lisa kept me informed of any issue that needed to be addressed. She made sure that I came in and sign any court papers that was time sensitive in nature. I was very pleased and I would highly recommend Lisa Heller

Lisa Heller was the perfect attorney for me.

I hired Lisa Heller in the middle of my divorce. In the beginning, my Ex and I were in agreement with all the terms of the divorce, but things ended up going south and that is when I decided I needed an attorney. It was important to me for everything to be fair for both parties and that is what ...I stressed to Ms. Heller. She was very supportive and understanding of what I wanted to have done and she helped my peace of mind. She also did a great job at keeping me informed of everything along the way. She also tried, when she could, to minimize the costs associated with the divorce. There was a point when I thought we were going to have to go to trial ($$$), but with Ms. Heller's suggestions, we were able to avoid it. Divorce is a very stressful and emotional time in life, and Ms. Heller did a great job at helping me keep things in perspective and look at the long term picture. I would recommend her to anyone in my situation.

Lisa Heller was the right hire! She listened! She cared!

When I made the tough decision to divorce my wife after 25 years of marriage, I had checked with another attorney to see what the process would be like and what I could reasonably expect to pay in support and what assets I would likely forfeit. That first attorney I sought out was too cold and unfeel...ing for me. Even though I did not love my soon to be ex-wife anymore after receiving poor treatment from her for many years, I still wanted to make sure the lady I was married to for that long was taken care of in the divorce. That first attorney did not seem to grasp that concept and had his own agenda to pursue, which did not match up with mine. To him it was a battle, a war in which you hope to leave your opponent with as little as possible. It is like he did not hear me at all. My agenda was to be fair and reasonable, without being stupid. I wanted my ex-wife to feel like she was treated fairly, without me “giving up the farm” and leaving myself with too little for the future. That “fair and reasonable without being stupid” motive is exactly what lead me to hire Lisa Heller. She was tough when she needed to be, but mostly caring and understanding as I wanted my ex-wife treated with compassion and respect. She was that perfect blend of toughness and compassion that I was looking for. And her knowledge and experience was an invaluable asset to me. Since my ex-wife did not want a divorce, her attorney tried to delay things by taking the maximum amount of time to respond and making unreasonable counter settlement proposals, like asking for 75% of my take home pay per month. Obviously that proposal was rejected in a heartbeat. Lisa kept the divorce on track and answered each counter proposal with a reasonable one, always keeping me informed along the way. In the end, the settlement was what I feel was fair and reasonable for both parties. Lisa could have played hardball and been cold and uncaring to my ex-wife and pushed for a better settlement for me, but she did exactly what I asked her to do. He experience and expertise were exactly what I was looking for. She was exactly the right attorney for me.
