Comments

Lisa provides clients with a satisfying, efficient, cost-effective, and perhaps even transformative family law dispute resolution experience. She has been working with divorcing families and unmarried parents since 2005 when she decided to devote her law practice exclusively to family law. Before that, she was a medical malpractice and personal injury lawyer representing injured parties in complex litigation. In 2015, Lisa was named in the national bestseller, "Conscious Uncoupling", by author Katherine Woodward Thomas, as one of the country’s change agents in divorce practice "who are working hard to improve things both emotionally and financially” for divorcing couples.
