I have worked with Lisa twice. The first time was several years ago in the divorce from my ex…read morehusband and custody of our children. My ex had many severe mental health issues and DHS investigations that were never founded. I met with many attorneys for consultations but none were as passionate and concerned about my case as Lisa. Where other attorneys said the best they could do was get him full weekend visits, Lisa was able to advocate for me and prove that this was concerning, and was able to have him be ordered supervision at all his visits with my children until he enrolls in therapy, which he never did. I recently hired Lisa again to represent me against my most recent ex who has been stalking and harrassing me for the last two months since our break up. He entered a guilty plea and attempted to skip the trial, but Lisa once again fiercely advocated for my wish to be able to tell my story and so that she could get him on the stand. Lisa was able to prove that he was a danger and habitual domestic abuser According to records on him. My ex was sentenced the maximum number of days in jail as well as a ban from entering my county. Lisa is an incredible and passionate lawyer and a fierce fighter for her clients. I would recommend her to anyone!

My cousins met with Lisa and she made plenty of promises and told them what they had to hear to get…read morethem to hand her 10k. Than she handed a high conflict custody battle over to someone who had only been in family law for a very short time. After having to make them fix the documents several times due to wrong names, or spelling or irrelevant information. They finally filed her case with the court ​after saying another lawyer (her daughter) would take the case. Once the case was filed with the court they called my cousin to tell them that they can no longer represent her due to a conflict. Mind you at this point they have already take 2k from their money. She was finally able to get the rest of her money back minus the 2k. Come to find out from other lawyers this is common, and she will refuse to take a case that will go to trail. So dont bother taking a high conflict custody battle to this woman. She will leave you high and dry while setting you up for failure. Thanks to her actions her ex husband has done nothing but stalk her and cause problems between her and the child. Because he now knows she was going to take him to court. Shame on you!

Many of the other attorneys we talked to did not. Dealing with the family court is extremely stressful. Tara was never overly emotional regarding our case (I wouldn't want a lawyer that was) but we could tell that she cared about the outcome. She is honest and doesn't promise things she cannot deliver. Some lawyers may tell you what you want to hear. Tara tells you the truth. And she works hard to get you the best outcome within the framework of a system that is often times outdated!
