I am a WSBA licensed family law practitioner in Spokane, Washington. I practice throughout eastern Washington. My practice includes all family law issues of concern to you, whether it is divorce, legal separation, property division, parenting issues, or even an appeal to a higher court.
My practice model is to serve each client personally. You will never be handed off to anyone else. I am available by cell or email evenings and weekends for your emergencies.
In addition to my basic family law caseload, I have developed a focus on matters of vital importance to military families including long distance parenting, Military and FERS pension, TSP Retirement division, the SBP, and Base privileges.
Our office tries to practice what we preach. During the wars in Afganistan and Iraq, our office sent over 10,000 homemade cookies to the TROOPS stationed overseas for the holidays.

Honest and thoughtful
I recommend this attorney very highly. I consulted Lisa Brewer concerning divorce proceedings that involved two novel features. One involved a proverbial rock and hard place. Lisa Brewer was thoughtful and creative on that matter and produced a game changing list of action items. In consulting he...

Military assistance
I was with my ex-spouse while he was in the military and he retired. Lisa knows how to navigate the confusing paperwork for the military former spouses payments and how to include that in the decree so you may receive payments through DFAS. She was a great help.

Great experience and amazing attorney
I came to Lisa in regards to a custody battle that I had been trying to do on my own. When I thought I had no more options she instantly saw the potential in my case. After I hired her she instantly got me visitations, plus more which I could not get myself. She has the means and knowledge, knows the...

VERY KNOWLEDGABLE AND HELPFUL
My husband and I came to her for help in both child support modification and implementing an enforceable parenting plan. She listened to our history with my husband's ex-wife and new husband and gave us her honest opinion about our options. She never sugarcoated anything (which I appreciate) and to...

Pushy and bossy, inability to listen.
I contacted Lisa to help me with a divorce case. She was hard to communicate and impatient, didn't let me finish my sentences and was almost scolding me telling me I had to obey her commands. When I tried to explain my financial situation she would just talk over me to the point that I said repeatedl...
I'm sorry you felt that way. It is very important to me that my clients feel they have been listened to. For this reason, one of the hardest parts of my job is to advise clients truthfully on the strengths and weaknesses in their case. Sometimes this can be a disappointing process. This is particularly true in family law cases, where there is so much is at risk.
"I have had the opportunity, on several occasions, to work with and against Ms. Brewer. Lisa is an attorney with the utmost integrity and professionalism and treats each client and matter with a passion. I look forward to working with her in the future and would recommend her anytime."
"I endorse this lawyer. Ms. Brewer is an extremely competent and thorough attorney. In addition to vigorously advocating for her clients, Ms. Brewer is well respected in the legal community. I have referred potential conflict clients to Ms. Brewer because I am confident that she will ensure the best possible outcomes."
"Lisa is extremely knowledgeable and a formidable adversary. Lisa has the skills to deliver results so she always plays fair and behaves professionally. She has a wide reputation for expertise and integrity, and I have a great deal of respect for her."
