Let Lisa handle all your tickets!

I’ve hired Lisa multiple times to fight traffic tickets for me, and she is undefeated! Not only does she do a great job with your cases, but she is also very friendly and is always quick to respond to my questions. There is a reason I am a repeat customer :)

Lisa is AMAZING!

I've used Lisa twice now and I couldn't be happier. She not only got both of my infractions dismissed, she also has great communication skills and is very personable. The first time I hired Lisa was to fight a speeding ticket. I was unfamiliar with the process and she (and her assistant) took the tim...e to explain everything to me. When I called to check in she immediately knew about my case and was able to update me without even having to look up my file. It made me feel like I wasn't just a number. She definitely is passionate and great at what she does. I cannot say enough good things about Lisa and her assistant, Mari. You can't go wrong with hiring her.

Lisa is the Best!

I have used Lisa for multiple traffic tickets. She's never lost one for me! Always been great at everything and extremely professional! I will be a client for life!!!

Excellent representation

Lisa's a very capable and thorough lawyer. She kept me informed, explained strengths and potential weaknesses in my traffic case, understood what was important to the tough court, that was hearing my case. A different lawyer had previously warned, that prevailing in this court, would be difficult. ...Lisa's confidence and success, getting my ticket dismissed, is much appreciated; I would highly recommend her.

Reviews are all true

Before hiring Lisa I read all the reviews I could find for a traffic attorney and Lisa had quite a few and all seemed to be posative. It was a very good choice and I will recommend her services. Great experience and I'm still shocked how little she charged considering how much time she spent with m...e on the phone explaining everything regarding my case. Lisa is a true professional, takes the time to educate and has your best interest at heart. I had an accident on the freeway and was a case she was able to get dismissed. The best thing was I didn't even have to show up at the hearing. I got a call the same day from Lisa regarding the results and WOW what a relief. I'd use her again in a heart beat....knock on wood.

"I endorse this lawyer. Having handled car accident cases for more than 25 years I knew of Lisa Donaldson's excellent repuation, so I hired her when my teenage daughter was in danger of losing her license and jeopardizing our family car insurance coverage. Lisa Donaldson provided excellent, personal counsel to me, my daughter and my wife, then negotiated a favorable outcome that allowed by daughter to continue to drive and left our insurance in place. I have referred many clients to Lisa Donaldson, and I believe they have all been pleased."
