Elliott Law Offices, P.A.

"Lisa and her staff are amazing. They're competent, communicative, and they know their stuff. They advised me on probable outcomes without over-promising, kept me informed throughout the process, and generally made the process of a divorce far easier than it would have otherwise been."

"Dear Reader, Choosing a lawyer in a divorce is a difficult decision, the outcome of my divorce effected 1) the custody of my two kids, and 2) my financial well being once the dust settles. Most lawyers I interviewed wanted a retainer "NOW!" I went into Lisa's office and I was an absolute mess, being on the side of not wanting a divorce but being forced to file for divorce was the most wretched thing I have ever had to do. I cried my eyes out in her office and explained what was going on, I honest to god was treated like a human and not a dollar sign. Lisa treated me as a friend and heard me out, keeping things very professional reminding me to take some of the unnecessary emotion out of the equation that could effect the outcome. How you handle yourself during this time is crucial in divorce, especially when your family custody and financial well being is on the line. In my divorce things started out civilly with my now Ex wife, then once money, and her "rich" aunt got involved the claws came out... Lisa was very attentive to the other lawyers antics and she had some excellent alternatives which I never considered when breaking things down and trying to ultimately compromise. They are not in the game of checkers, it is a game of chess. We ended up going to mediation and the mediator "Dolan Mediation" that's where Lisa found alternatives to me having to give my pension away, the mediator realizing that my medial benefit premiums were not my income (Difference of me paying 400 a month in spousal support vs 0) offering to pay for my children's hockey as a bargaining chip. I got 50/50 custody of my children (wish I had them 100% however I want what's best for the kids). We have all heard "You get what you pay for" and it holds true with Lisa, she is a very fair priced attorney. I have heard of people going with the cheapest lawyer the find and at the end of the day my children, finances were worth the insurance of having a experienced lawyer who is going to give you the best possible result. Nobody wins in divorce, its not a glamourous thing, nobody goes into marriage with the person they love the most looking to get divorced. Life happens and sometimes you are dealt a bad hand. The last year has been the worst year of my life times a million. I have started to rebuild and life has gotten substantially better. After compromising the financials, I didn't have extra money as most people don't after divorce. Lisa worked with me and gave me options of a payment plan as well as waiting until I refinance my house so that I could pay off most of my debts. I wrote this review because Lisa Elliot did a great job and the outcome that was most important to me came to fruition. That being said during the worst time of my life, I had someone who worked very hard for me and treated me with compassion and looked out for the best interest for my children and myself. I also want to let people who are faced divorce: With time you do heal, things get better. My best friend gave me a saying that helped me out and it is "The sun will rise tomorrow" meaning no matter what sh** you have faced and no matter how bad things get, the sun will rise tomorrow. Pray about it, make good decisions (don't bury yourself in the bottle), and try to take the high road... You will never regret taking the high road, things come back around on their own to people who lie, cheat, and are dishonest. I hope this review helps, I am sorry for what you're going through, remember "The sun will rise tomorrow" Thank you Lisa, Regards, Daniel H."

"I chose Lisa Elliott based on several positive recommendations on Next Door. In the 9 months I worked with her I simply lost count on how much I needed to follow-up to ensure my case was on track. It seems as if Lisa's personal life took precedence more than it ought to with respect to the nature of the profession she chose. Paperwork sat on her desk, she was late to court, offered bleak advice, took days to return correspondence or simply didn't respond at all. More often she passed things over to her paralegal Rita who started off helpful, but then seemed to take offense any time I had questions or needed clarification. Lastly, Joanne the "accountant", must've went to college to learn how to talk over people because that is exactly what she did when I called to go over my invoice. I wish I could say better things about these people, but I just can't. In these times when you establish a certain salary you must deliver service in equal capacity."

"Very friendly and helpful lawyers."

"Lisa Elliott is a kind hearted amazing attorney."
