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...r she was honest and direct; getting to the bottom line in a manner demonstrating integrity. I recommend Lisa Brewer very highly

So glad I got her from VLP

I was lost and didnt know anything about what to do next and lisa helped me find my way. She helped with the other lawyer and gave me some very knowledgeable advice. If I had the money (which I have none) I would definitely hire her. She did more than what she was suppose to for me and if she sees an... issue she is straight forward and makes sure you understand fully what's going on, even if you dont like it. Very positive and business oriented. She will get the job done!

Willingness to Help

Lisa was extremely helpful. She took additional time with me. She was creative with her solutions and highly intelligent. My case ended up being more about eviction so then she helped me find several references and a selectable lawyer to help with my case.

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... ins and outs, she breaks everything down and explains everything so I'm always on the same page as her. She not intimidated which is needed in my case, this case has been nothing short of difficult and she's handled everything on a professional manner. She knows the importance of family and takes her work seriously. I recommend her to anyone looking for an attorney in family law.

Couldn't have been luckier to find Lisa

I have been working with Lisa now for almost 2 years. When I came to Lisa I was a very different person. I was scared, insecure and timid, not knowing how I was going to help myself and protect my daughter with what the future had in store for us. I felt very trapped, as if I had no options. Lisa hel...ped me educate myself, gain confidence and overcome the fears that I originally had. Over the last 2 years, countless hours, numerous court dates and appearances Lisa is still standing by my side and offering me support and guidance in our case. In addition to providing me with legal guidance Lisa has also helped me grow as a woman and be strong for my daughter. My case has been difficult and complex involving more than just family law matters and court appearances. There is not really an end to my case in sight but I am confident moving forward that Lisa will do everything she can to help me get the best results I can for my daughter and I. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone in need of family law representation or even just guidance. She is a wealth of knowledge and genuinely cares for her clients and works for what is in their best interest. She is selfless and anyone would be fortunate to work with her. I could never thank Lisa enough for the guidance and support she has provided me over the past few years.
