Divorce is never easy. Especially mine. Ha-ha. For more than a decade, my life was dominated, or controlled as I felt, by my ex-wife and her attorney. I represented myself for years, for dozens of hearings. Where did that get me? I was a ball of hate, anger, and rage. I could barely afford to live because of the amount of money I was court-ordered to pay to my ex-wife.
When you have no control over your life, anger is the only thing that you can control, and boy, was I angry! I constantly lashed out in inappropriate and self-destructive ways. I felt that I was in the deepest and darkest of places, with no way out and no end in sight.
Out of desperation, I decided that I needed to get an attorney. I reached out to a friend who is very renowned and highly respected in family law in Tucson. She declined to represent me as she felt it would be a conflict of interest because she also knew my ex. She recommended Lisa.
I felt that I could not afford representation at that time. In retrospect, I could not have afforded not to be represented by Lisa McNorton.
Lisa levelled the playing field. Did she treat me like the victim that I felt I was? Not at all. Lisa directed me to take the steps that I needed to take to gain control of my life. Lisa made me take all the classes that I had been court-ordered to take. Out of mercy, I believe, the judge previously had given me an extremely liberal time frame. How could I take them when I needed to work sixty-plus hours a week just to survive? I also felt that if I took them, that would be another win for my ex-wife. Well, they changed my life.
Lisa ended up getting many thousands of dollars in judgements that were suspect at best, overturned. The money she saved me far exceeded what I paid to have proper representation. I have come out on the other side, after many years. I am a different person. I have been promoted multiple times at work, and I have returned to school to finally finish the bachelor's degree that I started over thirty years ago. If not for Lisa, I would still be paying my ex today, and for many years to come.
I am extremely thankful for Lisa McNorton and for the positive effect she has had on my life. I cannot give Lisa anything less than my very highest recommendation! read more
