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!

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.

Why you shouldn't use Lisa Heller's office

I was mislead by Lisa Heller's office since the very first phone call. Her husband screened my call prior to my becoming Lisa's client. He informed me of her fees and told me that she's known for settling things very quickly and for less money than most attorneys. He told me that in most cases, the c...lient is refunded about 40% of their retainer. Lisa uses one assistant and her assistant is very unprofessional and unorganized. Not only did I recieve email responses saying things like "yup", but she also had my case mixed up with someone elses at one point. My paperwork had clerical errors and had to be redone twice. Each time I had to meet with Lisa or her secretary causing me to miss work. I also had to repeatedly email the office informing them of the errors which in turn I was charged for. Her assistant even tried to make it seem as though I was to blame for her errors. I started working with Lisa on my divorce in June and I was lead to believe would be settled and finalized by September. Now almost November my ex was finally served the documents. That same day I recieved an email stating that (even though nothing has happened yet) my retainer has been mostly exhausted and that my options are to either pay more money (I was given two days to pay an additional $1,500) or Lisa would be withdrawing from my case. I was informed that if my ex and I could work out all of our differences with no legal help, Lisa would finalize my paperwork. If that were an option, I would never have hired a lawyer to begin with. So now that I'm heading into mediation and a custody battle, I have no representation and I'm out $2,000! I would not recommend this law office to anyone!

Beware, Do not use this attorney!

Did not keep us informed of court hearings and rescheduling s, Over charged us attorney fees for things the paralegal did, filed wrong paperwork several times, forgot to subpoena witnesses in time for trial. Kept over charging and office hours are really only 7am to 10:30 pm. Has her husband answer p...hone at her home after these hours. A true nightmare, never got case done, had to get another attorney to finish this case.
