Lisa and her team took me seriously from the moment I walked in the door. She was very knowledgeable and made everything clear and easy to understand. I was extremely lucky to be able to use her as my representation in court. She definitely knows her way around the system.

Lisa was of great help, she definitely helped us understand what we needed to know in terms of the legal process. She was always super caring and made us feel safe. (This comes From someone who has trust issues, do the math) :)

I hired Lisa when I was in a great deal of trouble. My future was in her hands and she did a great job considering the circumstances in was in. My case was as serious as it gets. She did not let the crooked Santa Cruz DA's and cops take advantage of me. I hired her as a private attorney and I'm lucky I did. I felt like she was my friend, not just my lawyer. Thanks Lisa!

My family was in a situation that needed a lawyer, and a good one. We found Lisa and could not have been more pleased with her work. She listened to what happened. She did her homework on the case and kept us apprised of any new information she got. We were never left in the dark. We did not feel like just another number, we felt heard and that our case mattered. She fought hard for my family and we won. Thank you Lisa!
