About Lisa
Biography
Lisa E. Martin feels rewarded when she has helped her clients recover their peace of mind.
“I am moved when clients who felt hopeless come out of the divorce process feeling like life isn’t so bad. It’s an overall feeling of ‘I’m going to be okay, and I’m going to land on my feet.’”
Lisa has twenty years of family law experience, and has litigated countless divorce cases in both Washington and Oregon. Her clients regard her as approachable and easy to talk to.
“I owe it to my clients to educate them and help them make the best choices, so that everyone is happy with the outcome.”
Lisa’s family has lived in the Pacific Northwest for generations. She is proud of her Northwest heritage, and especially proud of her great grandfather, Clarence D. Martin, the 11th Governor of Washington state. Lisa is a devoted mother to her teenage daughter, who is a straight-A student and avid soccer player.
