Lisa has been practicing family law for over twenty-nine years and she is a Certified Family Law Specialist. Her practice includes consultation, mediation, litigation and collaborative law, and she has been a Super Lawyer since 2009. Before starting her own practice in 1999, she was an associate at Holmes & Holmes in Glendale for twelve years. Lisa has a Martindale-Hubbell, rating of AV® Preeminent.
Although Lisa has been a family law litigator for decades, she recognized long ago that litigation is not an effective way to resolve the issues faced by separating or divorcing parents and couples. Alternative Dispute Resolution models are a better fit, and so she strongly advocates for mediation and collaborative practice whenever possible.
