You could not have a better attorney, Thank you, Lisa , from myself and my family
Lisa represented me and my daughter both a couple of times and did an awsome job if you ever need a criminal defense lawyer i would recomend her highly
Ms. Anderson is top notch, and extremely professional, and so very responsive. I had a rather complicated case, as I live out of state, and had a legal issue from 4 years ago. I lost count of how many lawyers I tried to contact, and didn’t even get so much as a phone call back. I contacted Ms. Anderson, and had a phone consultation scheduled the very next day. She was thorough, and answered any questions I had, and didn’t sugar coat anything. Shortly after retaining her, she did everything she said she would, and promptly took care of things. Two weeks later, everything was resolved in my favor. I can not thank her enough!
An amazing Attorney that works hard for her clients. I would highly recommend her to anyone that wants someone that will have your back and fight for what’s right. She will shock you with her preparedness for court hearing... Far more than I ever expected.... Goes the extra mile...
Hired her to represent me after a Panama city police officer pulled me over and wrote me a ticket which in honesty was not justified. The officer wrote a dismissal letter to the court on court day. Lisa did not sell me a I can fix it all talk, she was honest upfront. I highly recommend her service
I went to Mrs. Anderson with a DUI and it wasn't my 1st, nor my 2nd. I was facing prison and dealing with immeasurable depression because of the nightmarish situation. But Mrs. Anderson was able to find malpractices by the arresting cops, and advocated for me for over 3 years! The negotiated result was better than I could have ever expected and I will be forever grateful! Lisa Anderson is an AMAZING attorney - I shudder to think what my life would be like had I not hired her.
Ms. Anderson listened to me explain my issue and quickly took action to resolve a super speeding ticket that put my son over his points resulting in license suspension. She submitted a motion and the charges were adjudicated. Unfortunately, our state wanted the letter to either say the charges were dropped or that the speeding fine was reduced. Ms. Anderson went back to the court and was able to get the speed reduced. Our state accepted the letter and my son's license was reinstated. Lisa and her team are fantastic! I would highly recommend her!
Lisa is one of the best criminal attorneys I have ever seen. She has excellent trial organization and is excellent at the examination and cross examination of witnesses. And her closing argument is some of the best Ive seen, better than most on Court TV. She is an impressive attorney.
I hired Lisa to fight my first speeding ticket ever in my 13 years of driving history. I was told she could most likely have my ticket thrown out, but at the very least reduced. Neither of these occurred and all I got was an email from her assistant stating the judge agreed to have to adjudication withheld so no points would go on my license (something a MUCH cheaper online traffic school could have done) and I still needed to pay my entire original fine (on top of lawyer fees). Save yourself the money and either pay your fine or hire a lawyer who’s willing to fight for you.
