Lisa will fight for you. She knows how corrupt the system can be and is a soldier who fights. I recommend her.

Lisa Budris is amazing! I almost lost hope and was about to plead guilty just to get over the circus that's going on at the Long Beach court house but Lisa walked in there and took control! Lisa Budris is such a boss and is someone you want on your side! She was able to get everything dropped for me! I'm now ready to move on from this mess without ruining my record and not having to put myself in a hole of court fees! I hope I never see her again in a good way! but if something were to happen I would definitely be using her services again!!! My family and I Thank you Lisa! read more

First time needing an attorney, Lisa was very professional and to the point from the initial consultation. She's well-connected, responsive, honest, and absolute leader in her field. Highly recommend, entire process I felt well represented, and she executed on all her strategies. She makes herself accessible for clients, there was never a time I couldn't reach her..Absolutely will use her again if needed. read more

Without getting into the details of my case I will say, Lisa was an effective lawyer and deserves at least 10 stars, but Yelp only allows for 5. My incident happened three years ago. It took the DA two + years to proceed with very serious felony charges against me. On my first visit to court, I was arrested without notice and a $88,400.00 bail. Utilizing her resources Lisa was able to assist me with an effective bail bonds agent and get me out of custody within a couple of hours. Lisa worked with me on a payment plan, great communication throughout the trial and a few months later, Lisa was able to prove my innocence ! Don't let her classy good looks fool you! Lisa is definitely tough and great at what she does! Thank You Lisa! :-) read more

Before Lisa Budris, I hadn't realized I was in so much trouble with court. I had a couple of pending cases I didn't follow up with. Last year in December I got detained and all my cases came up! I had (Criminal, Traffic Violations and D.I.P) charges, I was completely broken. I felt like there was nothing i could do, due to personal circumstances. When i met Lisa, we discussed my case and immediately she told me "We got this". She was so passionate so determined throughout our conversation she made me believe "We got this". Just a couple of court dates later, I'm free instead of behind bars. Lisa I can't thank you enough for your work, my mind is at ease. Also while she was dealing with my "Criminal" case she was able to dismiss another case on scene! #forevergreatful! Thank You!!! read more

One of the best attorneys out there.. I managed to fight my case and reduce the charges. 5/5 stars for the great help, and awesome communication we have with my attorney. read more

I called a lot of different attorneys when I had some complications arise in my divorce. The team here is awesome and Lisa has great integrity, a sharp legal mind, and is an incredible listener. The Budris Group gave me an excellent consultation which helped me get out of a difficult legal situation. If you're looking for an attorney, or even a free consultation, I'd start here. Thank you Lisa! read more

.Lisa Budris is a lifesaver. She was very professional in the way she handled my case. I felt at ease and relaxed when Lisa took over my case. I have never felt more secure than I had with her. If I had any questions pertaining to my case she was always there with an answer. When you first speak to her over the phone it feels as if you are calling a friend for help. If ever needed, I would have represent me and any or my family. She truly has your back in the end. read more

Lisa is an amazing attorney! She has been with me through a slew of serious and complicated charges. Her professionalism and demeanor in the court room re-affirmed my decision to seek counsel from her every time we were in court. She has a great reputation and great relationships with with very high quality and effective bail bondsmen and private investigators. She was amazing in explaining everything with my family and looking out for me even when I was in custody. I know I caused her some sleepless nights over my cases but that is the kind of person and attorney she is...she genuinely cares for her clients and her skill and effort got me a resolution beyond my best hopes. If you find yourself in need of a skilled criminal defense attorney who will give her 100% effort for you then Lisa Budris is the only call you need to make! read more

Lisa was highly recommended by a close friend of mine. Lisa was very professional and informed me every step of the process. She was very passionate about the case and I very much felt that she was with me every step of the way. Lisa Budris is an absolute bulldog in the courtroom. I was hopeful for a fair outcome. And the final result I could not be more pleased. I had multiple charges dismissed. I would definitely recommend Lisa to my friends and family read more

Lisa is the first and only call you will ever need to make if you even think you might be interacting with the judicial system. She is everything anyone could ask for in an attorney; knowledgeable, responsive, experienced, and resourceful. read more

I'd never been in trouble with the law but when I was, wrongfully, Lisa was there every step of the way to get me out of it.  She was recommended to me by another attorney who told me, if I didn't like her, he could find someone else for me.  He immediately called her and as soon as I spoke to her,  I knew she was it for me.  When I met her in person, I felt instant confidence that she would do what was right for my case.  She was there to answer my texts or calls--even when I was just seeking comfort.  When my arraignment date came, she would not be satisfied if my case was not dismissed.  Lisa fought hard for me and in the end, it was a dismissal.  I can't express my gratitude enough on here--Lisa pulled through for me. read more

My name is drew and I'm a 35 yr old alcoholic. For the past 4-5 years I've been dealing with the courts on any and everything to deal with alcohol related charges. A DUI, numerous public intoxications, warrants, etc etc. So needless to say I've hired every supposed "great" attorney in the southbay of Los Angeles over that course of time. Thousands of dollars thrown at attorneys for them to do nothing. I hired Lisa Budris at the lowest point in my life. Locked up in LA county on warrants and $100,000 bond and 6 open cases that have been fumbled around and unattended to by numerous attorneys for years. So much of my life in every aspect was a mess!!!! I AM SO GRATEFUL THAT GOD PUT LISA BUDRIS in my life. I was dead broke with no family and a GF that was on the edge of saying she couldn't take anymore. I went to Lisa a frantic mess, anxiety ridden, scared, sad , depressed and everything that goes along with this process. On my initial consultation with her I was amazed that she didn't just talk a big game like all these other big shot attorneys. She explained the process, told me pros and cons about my cases which had very few pros, but most importantly she told me I needed help. Not having a mother and a father who committed suicide, it really felt good that someone cared. Thousands of dollars and numerous attorneys and NO ONE ever said that to me! I know it starts with me but an attorney is suppose to guide you, counsel you, defend you and fight for you. And that's EXACTLY what this woman is doing. I started AA, she advised me to seek treatment and that's what I did. It's very hard to listen and have faith in someone when you just meet them and when everyone else in their field has just took your money and never even requested discovery. This legal system is a mess! My life was a mess! So what would u think the outcome would be? I must of told Lisa 789 times I can't go to jail again. She would calm me down and promise me she would defend me and look at every angle of my case. She reviewed the body cams, addressed my case individually and not just another $ sign or inmate or case #, she personally met with me even just when I was making an installment. That's another thing! Being an alcoholic with serious problems and issues, money was one of them, she even worked with me on a payment plan and stuck with me for months and months till I successfully paid in full. Amazing her price was exactly what was fair and affordable for me. I've had close to 8-9 attorneys in my life. 10 arrests so I have a good idea of what they run. Ms Budris is currently helping me get my life back without me having to go to jail and allowing me to get the help I need. I know it's shocking to say, but this attorney actually does her job and regardless if you're doing a day in jail or 20 in prison, don't you want that from your attorney. I get my life back. I get a positive chance and the help I desperately needed. She knows what she's doing! The greatest thing is that she doesn't just cave to DA's and Prosecutors that just want a plea and lock you up. She gets in and really opens your files and past cases and investigates what is going on in your life and case load. LIFE is HARD! And if you suffer from this disease of alcoholism or drug addiction it's even harder. Just like in recovery I can only share my experience and that's what I'm doing. If you have a problem or legal matter PLEASE do yourself a favor and hire this amazing heart of an attorney. She's compassionate, honest and will FIGHT FOR YOU. It's a process and no attorney will have the answers right away. Have faith and just do what she advises. Gotta run there's a 4pm meeting at the ALANO club in hermosa if anyone wants to go. Thank you Lisa!!! {update} So 2 months has passed since since my last court date! I'm still in bewilderment of how Lisa got this all taken care of and mental health deferment was put into play. I had months of jail time I hadn't completed and now had 6 NEW CASES on top! Lisa got it all suspended, court costs lowered and have to finish my MADD program. I couldn't have dreamed of a better scenario. I was positive that no lawyer could help me. I was wrong. Amazing feeling to not have that hanging over my head!!! But it was just incredible to see Lisa work. Now knowing how 90 percent of attorneys don't do anything for their clients, do yourself a favor and hire Lisa Budris. Now it's my job to never ever ever have to hire her again!! Thank you!! read more

I hired Lisa for representation. Buyer beware. Will only communicate with you via text message. Does not undertake adequate case preparation prior to any court proceedings. Prepared for my case the day of the hearing prior to walking into the courtroom. Highly unprofessional conduct sharing client information and case information with her friends. Was also texting whilst sitting in front of the judge defending my case. Buyer beware. read more

Lisa is worth every penny, she saved my life. I've never navigated the legal system in any capacity before this month and she was patient and attentive in getting me and my family through what has been, without question, the hardest month of my life. She outlined her strategy thoroughly, held our hands through the process, effectively executed what interventions she posited could help, and came through in all capacities. I never even had to step foot in a courtroom, the case was tossed before arraignment. She got my felony completely dropped. I was looking at jail time and a permanent record. In the time between my arrest and arraignment, Lisa seemingly worked all hours of day and night to insure all the evidence of my case was thoroughly understood by the detectives working the case as well as my presiding D.A. Word to novices: It is absolutely imperative that you hire somebody as soon as you possibly can in bad situations to avoid having your nightmares go to trial. Her network and experience is unparalleled. Thanks to Lisa, I can move on with my life. If you're in a scary situation, hire Lisa. I know what it's like to feel torn between options, confused, uncertain of who to hire when it's so high stakes; hire Lisa. I'm telling you earnestly, if you want to get through this as whole as you possibly can; hire Lisa. read more

Lisa did an excellent job helping me get a restraining order against my unstable ex-boyfriend. I could tell right from the start she was confident in her job and knew the process like the back of her hand.
