About

In January 2012, I founded The Law Offices of Lisa Gagliano Bernstein, which is a sole practitioner firm specializing in the fields of real estate, estate planning, probate, and family law. I infuse each case I handle with a solid work ethic, advanced writing skills, practical application of the law and personal client service. My previous practice taught me to aggressively but strategically help clients navigate their way through the legal process and how to efficiently and promptly respond to my clients. My experience allows me to draft, argue, and respond to both simple and complex legal documents. I have a proven ability to produce under tight deadlines and due to my experience in many different fields of law, I'm well-equipped to manage a wide range of matters.Real Estate:-Represent clients in residential real estate purchases and sales, including review of contract of sale, negotiate inspection issues, determine compliance with contract, assist with lender requirements, evaluate evidence of title, perform title exam, clear title exceptions, and attend closing.Estate Planning:-Consult with clients to determine estate planning goals, draft living trusts, wills, and powers of attorney, and fund living trusts with real property, stocks, and life insurance.Probate:-Handle probate court matters, and prepare documents to open, administer and close probate estates.Family Law:-Draft and present divorce petitions and judgments, negotiate divorce settlements, and appear in court to argue motions to modify child support and other post-judgment divorce issues. I handle related and unrelated adoption actions by drafting and presenting petitions for adoption and judgment orders in court, acquiring consent from biological parent, and obtaining certificates of adoption.

We are very happy we chose Lisa to do our closing both on a new purchase and the sell of our existing home. Lisa was great at explaining the things that were important and also the things that are not important. Some issues came up after the home inspections, Lisa took charge and came up with good solutions and demonstrated her great negotiating skills. Also Lisa was always on top of things, very organized and her communication skills were on point. I will highly recommend Lisa to friends and family for there lawyer needs.

Second time buying and first time selling with Lisa, and we will be back for more! Lisa is thorough, detailed and just amazing! She is incredibly helpful explaining the process and just making time to jump on a call to talk through anything. Thank you for helping us navigate the home buying/selling process!

This was a very difficult sale but Lisa was on top of everything. She assisted me some unexpected situations on my mom's home that came up that I did not know about. I would highly recommend her.

She was a great lawyer who was able to get everything that I needed done for the closing sale of my home. She was easily available and could answer any questions that came her way.

Lisa was so helpful and patient, as this was my first home. Along with our buying 'team' Lisa walked us through each step of the process. Our closing was quick (and COVID-safe) and informative. We really appreciate the time and care Lisa took with our negotiations.

Lisa was amazing to work with and should we need any services in the future, we will be reaching out to her. She was very informative, communicative, and empathetic throughout our entire buying process of our home. When we finally met at the closing, she walked us through all of the documents seamlessly. Very impressed with her. She is wonderful!

Lisa truly did an outstanding job in handling our home purchase. As first time home buyers, she took the time to go over every detail with us every step of the way. While we were concerned about possible delays and setbacks due to the pandemic, everything moved along efficiently and the closing was a smooth process. We highly recommend Lisa!

I can not say enough good things about my experience working with Lisa. She was incredibly communicative throughout the sale of our home. Lisa provided guidance to us and was extremely responsive when we had questions. She really knows what she is doing and she simplified the home closing process for us. Additionally she interacted beautifully with the other parties at the closing. It is clear that she has the knack of building relationships which helped keep the whole process running smoothly. I would highly recommend using Lisa for your real estate needs.
