I’ve used Lisa multiple times over the past 8 years. I had a very detailed case, with some very complex issues. I never left court disappointed. She’s very honest about what’s possible, and remembers even the smallest of details. I was told that it would be a long shot to get what I wanted out of my last case, but thanks to Lisa everything worked out in my favor and most importantly my child’s. I highly recommend her.
Lisa is exactly what one needs in a divorce lawyer; calm, clear, direct, no nonsense but also cares and gets invested in her clients. She has great whit and humor which is often needed to break tensions. She was always there when I needed her and always gave it to me straight!
I met with Ms. Dunn to "interview" her, I had others to see the next day, before I was going to make a decision on who to represent me for my divorce. After speaking to her for 45 minutes I decided to hire her. She has not let me down! She's given me great advice, kept me informed, asked me to review her work, asked for input, she's funny, witty, and SMART! I also got as part of the divoce, EVERYTHING I requested. Yeah I know I sound like a family member, I'm not! I just want those seeking to hire a good attorney at a fair price to know, Ms. Dunn is that person.
I hired Lisa as my divorce attorney. She responded to calls and e-mails promptly which helped ease the stress of an already stressful situation. She was efficient, had clear communication with myself and opposing council, and advocated for my rights. She was prepared for every hearing and answered all questions I had throughout the process. I highly recommend her for anyone going through a divorce. She will advocate and fight for you, and respond quickly.
Lisa returned phone calls, planned ahead, and protected my family and myself. She did NOT drag out my case, she showed up in court and wrote orders. Very well respected in court, professional, and prepared!!! I would recommend her to anyone!
