Fabulous attorney

Lisa Atkinson has been my attorney for several years. She has helped me with my family's estate planning, probate for my step-father and my mother, creating wills and creating the contract, all legalities and set-up for my own SCorp business and then several years later did the same for my second st...ore and partnership. She did all these things in a very timely fashion and kept me in the loop. She is very friendly, approachable, informative and makes sure I understand all the specifics and answers any questions I may have. I have great respect for Lisa and her vast knowledge and intellect and kindness. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone.

Estate planning lawyer | Feb 26

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Ms. Atkinson is skilled at estate planning, especially in the areas of Indian wills, and for special needs. Ms. Atkinson has practiced for over ten years in this area, and I do not hesitate to send my clients on the West side of the State to her. (I am an attorney in Eastern Washington and Idaho). She is one of the few attorneys who is trained in doing Indian (Native American) wills, and is also highly skilled in the area of Indian law in general. I highly recommend her services."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
