I arrived at Lisa’s office at the worst time of my life. The children’s father took me to court. Lisa got me a broken mess, she built me back up to who I used to be. She gave everything to my case and in return she expected me to fight just as hard, get the materials and get the proof. Lisa does not take excuses or lies. She is the most ethical lawyer I have come across. Many people want their lawyer to be their therapist, Lisa is not your therapist, she respects your money and will not sit and listen to you cry about your life. You are in court - it is action time and if you have Lisa in your corner you will get the best results. Don’t go in with unrealistic expectations, listen to her and follow her guidance. Lisa is a tough lawyer. She will fight for you, she is extremely knowledgeable, do not second guess her. As I said, call your therapist if you need hand holding - CALL LISA BAUMAL IF YOU WANT TO GET THE BEST RESULTS FOR YOUR FAMILY LAW CASE!!!

Lisa is a decent lawyer, but all she cares about is her case. She is abusive, demeaning, belittling and extremely inappropriate with her clients. She wanted to know about the intimate part of the relationship prior to divorce and if that's the only thing that kept the relationship together. All she cares about is her case, not the client or any damages or harm that occurs to them in order for her to win her case. She does not stick to her word either. Lisa is a bully who does well on her case but that's it.

L.Baaumal’s GREAT at arguing in court, but her arguing/belittling her own clients in office is common practice — not a good match for abused victims. I was forced to ditch my classes just “to prove to her” I was working on my case (she declined all my emails’ efforts). I sat on the floor while she shouted at me to place calls, for the SAME information I already emailed. Due to physical health issues, I asked to be able to sit at a desk 4hrs later; that was ok.. Lisa’s co-lessor came in and saw me using “a” desk. Then t.here were calls, and Lisa demanded I hear on speaker phone in her office. While it was apparent Lisa had had prior issues w/her co-lessors about her disrespect re: parking/dog, Lisa was asked to vacate the premises IMMEDIATELY. Lisa then accused ME she had to relocate!! My next appointment w/Lisa, she didn’t disclose her new location. I had to look it up, arrived 1hr late after showing up to the wrong address. Upon my arrival, Lisa just fired me! TOTAL NIGHTMARE!

I agree with folks who say that Lisa Baumal is unethical, abusive, lies, and creates unnecessary conflict. She is not collaborative and will not agree to any kind of discussion unless she gets her way. Her work is sloppy often looking as if she has a child write the content, and her arguments are without any kind of legal merit. If you want to work collaboratively with the OC to resolve your issues, Lisa is not an advisable choice.

Clearly there are some disgruntled misogynists posting on this website recently, perhaps they were on the losing side. Lisa did a fantastic job for me. She strongly argued my case and got a great result. Her strategy was clear and consistent. I am happy to be able to move on with my life and provide a peaceful and settled environment for my children.

Lisa Baumal Is extremely unethical, abusive and creates conflict. A nasty human being who destroys families. She seems to love any sort of drama.I have to wonder if her repeatedly bending over in court and exposing her undergarments is deliberate...regardless, it’s tacky.

She is a well priced senior lawyer. I reached out to ClearWay Law and they set up a consultation with Lisa. She does not offer free consultations. She has a cute dog at the office. But be aware if you are allergic to dogs.

She does amazing family law work for ClearWay Law. She has over 25 years of divorce experience and some people don't want to hear her truth.

I just would like to say I have worked with lisa in the past and although she is a fighter in the courts that doesnt exclude the fact that she is very abusive to her clients. She insults her clients and does not want to listen she wants to only hear what she wants to hear. She has degraded me serveral times and I refuse to work with her in the future because I do not wish to be degraded as a human being when trying to resolve a court matter where I am the victim. Its very difficult to communicate with this Lisa and many details in your case will be left out due to her inability to listen and respect her clients.

Lisa is an expert in her field, no question. She represented me in my divorce, provided clear options, and worked tirelessly to bring closure and got results i needed to move on (vs. tactics used by other lawyers who drag out cases and feed the drama - this is a big red flag if you meet one). I have referred colleagues (divorce), and family members (custody) - and all have remarked on her skill and professionalism, and again, she got excellent results in each and every case. Lisa wins cases, period. Happily, I am now consulting her to draw up cohabitation agreement - doing everything by the book this time - thanks again to Lisa's counsel! It's fascinating to see that other reviews are either super good, or really unhappy...perhaps disgruntled parties who have been on the losing side? Anyway, you should decide for yourself - it's your life, only settle for the best.

I have known Lisa through a friend for a few years. She did something more complicated for my friend which was successful. I needed Lisa's service for a divorce application. She knows everything there is to know. She makes sure you are aware of everything. She wants to make sure you are protected. Fair price for her service. I would recommend.

Go somewhere else. Not worth your time or money, far better lawyers out there who won't be rude or greedy.

Lisa achieved an excellent result for me in an exceedingly difficult situation. She fought hard. Her tenacity, superior knowledge of the law, ability to draft incisive documents and skill in the courtroom are all incredible. She came very highly recommended to me as someone who is very direct and highly experienced. I'm so happy I followed through and called her. Her billing was clear and very reasonable. I highly recommend her, she is the lawyer you want looking out for your interests.

Lisa was professional throughout my case. She provided good direction for me, prepared me well for what I could expect at court, and was excellent with questioning the various individuals on the stand. I couldn't have been more happy with the end result.

Lisa guided my case to the point where my ex spouse felt compelled to settle far more reasonable terms than he had originally sought as we were ready for trial but my ex and his lawyer was not.

Lisa Baumal provided excellent value for my money. She established what my goals were and set up a game plan to get them and I did for a very fair price.

Lisa, was very knowledgeable and although it may seem that she is not that organized, when it comes to game day, she knew the facts.

Wow! How does she stay in practice. Big talker, abusive to clients as an apparent strategy so that she has more control so she can bill more hours and keep going around in circles. She gives the impression she’ll work hard and smart in advocating for you only to roll over and play dead when you the opportunity comes to actually advocate for the client. I hope any reading this do so prior to even consulting with her and thus save your time and money and get a good lawyer. I wish you well with whomever you choose, just not her.

Why is she not reported to the bar yet? Unprofessional, does not listen - just wants you to take line of credit to pay her.. while there is no merit to even move on the case.. she insulted me all possible ways as well, discussing why I married who I married. I regret I paid her for initial consultation, should have just walk away.. Sue me!

Lisa relies on bully tactics instead of hard facts to intimidate her clients opisition. She is very unprofessional. I believe she thinks being rude and argumentative makes her a great attorney but in actuality it makes her look crazy. Her style is to hit you with as many false accusations as she can in hopes that something will stick. Very sloppy. Emails and court documents contain many grammatical errors. If you looking for a sloppy attack dog to represent you, go with Lisa Baumal.

This lawyer's priority is to push you go trial no matter you wish or not. She does this by creating conflict and making thing more complicated than they need to be. this way she gets billable hours and drains your money. you can hire her if you have deep pockets. but she will first work for herself.

This lawyer knows absolutely nothing about parenting and even less about children. She is unnecessarily adversarial and unprofessional. She is very emotional and quick to anger. She leaves a trail of damage behind her.

Lisa is very smart, reasonable and refuses to be bullied. Highly recommended. She settled a very contentious divorce case by being blunt, taking control and fighting for my rights. She is a lawyer you want representing you not fighting against you.

Lisa comes highly recommended as a family lawyer. She does her research, is meticulous with documents, negotiates fiercely, knows when to push and when not to and is very fair. She works with her client in a team approach. Lisa knows the judges and the court system from her years of experience and helps her clients navigate the system. I recommend Lisa to any of my friends and colleagues.

This lawyer is unprofessional, does not have her clients' best interests at heart, and will create issues where there are none. Her paperwork is littered with careless errors. This is all to create more paperwork and additional billing. Would never recommend.
